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 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

The lady receptionist is really nice and helpful. The room is nice and clean. Everything is equipped. The toilet room, separate from the bathroom, is quite small!
The one rule in this hotel is that no shoes are allowed inside the hotel, even the area outside of your room. Near the entrance to the staircase to the rooms, there is a huge shoe rack with rug, which frankly needs to be washed because it's quite smelly from all the stinky socks/shoes that people have set their feet on.
Receptionist hours are limited, 9-11am and 3-6pm.
The hotel is kind of far from Kyoto Station, and you would have to walk 1/2 hr. to reach the subway or JR station. You can get the daily bus pass, which also covers the subway, for 1100 yens. Make sure to get the 1100 yens (a magnetic type card) NOT the 1000 yen, which only has prepaid tickets for buses only!
There is a LIFE supermarket, but that's like 1/2 hr. walk. However, there is Kohyo supermarket (smaller than LIFE) nearby (about 10 minutes walk) but has a lot of selections.
There are not that many temping restaurants near the hotel.

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.
