Very quaint japanese style inn. Good price. Little out of the way in terms of location but the bus stop isn't too far away to get around. Great karaage place 3 min away, and clothes options too. Lobby has a hand drawn map of local stops for food and shopping

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!!!
