Great accommodation, helpful check in staff has comfortable beds.Lots of space in room with washing machine, stove , drying room etc.No elevator which makes getting to room difficult with large suitcases or if you have disability.

Great location with bus and train to major hot spots around the city close by. Place was clean and well thought out. I’d happily stay again! Recommend.

The property itself is excellent. Clean, you have a kitchen and laundry right in your room and the cost was very attractive. The main gripe is that we had forwarded our luggage from Hakuba and I was first informed that reception was not attended to for 2 hours, then I was informed it was 3 and when we got there, it was 4. I was worried that nobody would be there to receive our luggage. Our luggage did arrive and was locked in the reception are but we were not informed, hence we went 3 days without our luggage. It was only because I went to reception when it was attended to and saw the luggage there that we knew, otherwise it might have been yet another day. TLDR: Property is excellent, location is pretty good with grocery stores and dining options on the main street (probs 6 minutes away) but if you're forwarding luggage, note that there may not be anyone there to receive it and when it is received, nobody tells you

We have a great experience to stay in Ben’s guesthouse. The owner did his best to accommodate my request. The room is clean, the bed is comfortable and it comes with a mini kitchen and washer. Overall, we are satisfy with the booking.

Absolutely loved this stay while in Kyoto. It provided us with ton of space as opposed to most standard hotels. It was super cute and they provided a ton of free amenities, even allowing us to do three loads of laundry for no additional cost. Super convenient having the laundry in your room as opposed to a different floor. Staff were very friendly and easy to work with despite the language barrier. Public transportation does not stop directly near this location so a 10-15 minute walk back may always be warranted so be mindful of what you are carrying, especially since busses were more common in Kyoto than trains. No elevator was also a jump scare for us but I don’t believe it is the building to blame; we just happened to have huge luggage that had to be carried up four stories so just be mindful. Loved it and would do it again!

Very good location
