"古い建物なので、寝室への階段が急であったり、土間から居間へ上がる段差の高さなど、高齢の人には不向きかもしれないが、それに目を瞑れば、京都の街並みを楽しみながら風情を楽しめる立地と施設でした。駅まで遠いので駐車場があるのはありがたかったです。 2泊だったから良かったですが、長期で滞在するなら洗濯機が無いのは厳しい点かもしれません。コインランドリーも遠かったので、、、"

Ben's Guesthouse Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Stayed at Ben’s guesthouse for 3 days and two night. The washer and dryer was a really good addition, the space was clean and it was nice to have amenities like the kitchen. It was fairly a decent size for three people but the only struggle was the four flight of stairs but besides that I had a wonderful stay!"
