Very convenient location to temples etc in northern kyoto, quiet, good supermarkets. The family room has kitchen/ laundry facilities which really helps. 4 bus stops to Nijo station.

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent hosting, we received a warm welcome for our stay, pretty quiet place, accessible easily by the city bus, plenty of things to do nearby. Sadly we only stayed for 5 days. Wish I spent longer in Kyoto at Ben's guesthouse. Thanks again, was really a great and pleasant experience. We came all the way from Australia. Will definitely come back if I ever happen to be in Kyoto again.

Nice family stay, have everything you need to enjoy a good time in Kyoto. A bit outdated in the unit we stayed, bed was a bit to hard for my liking. Overall was very good!

The space was very clean and comfortable, and the amenities, especially the kitchen and laundry, were extremely convenient. The neighborhood had a great vibe, with nearby shops, restaurants and grocery. I'd be happy to stay here again.
Victor, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

2nd time at Ben's Guesthouse and it was still amazing! There was no elevator so if you're not up to carrying you luggage full of your shopping then this probably isn't the place for you but would totally still book next time I'm in Kyoto!
Khimberly, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quiet, clean, very nice place. The place is spacious and very well prepared for a few nights or longer stay.
Andrzej, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This worked great for our family as a clean budget option. Definitely the least expensive apartment we rented on our trip but also a clean & quiet experience with all of the basics plus an in apartment washing, dryer, steam iron, kitchenette. We were on the 3rd floor with no elevator for luggage but if you’re in Japan using public transport you’re no stranger to stairs.
Cody, 1-night trip

good cheap place, space very limited
Carol, 4-night trip

What a great place to stay. It was close to everything but not in the middle of it all. Very walkable to stores, bus stops, restaurants, we highly recommended it!

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful apartment with all amenities, washing machine, stove, microwave, fridge, nice bathroom and clean room.
sarita, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

This place is a 3 story building with mini apartments that allow you to cook for yourself. Plenty of roomand amenities in the apartments. The only downside was the host, unless it's a (Japanese/Kyoto thing that I don't understand). He was quite grumpy and didn't seem to want to either interact with us, or even be there at all. This is reflected by the interesting staffing hours of the reception and check-in instructions. A minor mark, otherwise, very good.
Alex, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We found our room quite adequate. It had a stovetop for cooking and a washing machine. It was very close to a grocery store and an amazing bakery. Great baguettes at the bakery. Really enjoyed our stay.
Loretta, 3-night trip

This was a clean and comfortable accommodation for 4 people. It was safe and in good walking distance to convenience stores. The check in process was smooth and seamless.
