We had an absolutely amazing stay at Ben's. Ben himself is incredibly helpful and gave us some recommendations for some amazing local cuisine! The property itself is very cozy and feels more down to earth than just a hotel. If youre planning a trip to Kyoto I definitely recommend staying at Ben's. Thank you so much for a lovely experience!!!

Great and cheap
Very cheap for such a high quality hotel. Has all the comforts. We got sick during our stay and the many tissue boxes that were provided was great. Our only complaint was the dryer wasnt the best as it didnt fully dry out all the clothes even when putting it overnight.
