“Ben's Guesthouse struck me as a great value in Kyoto, particularly for travelers who appreciate having more space than the typical hotel room affords. The provision of free laundry facilities is a definite plus, and while it's a bit of a walk to public transport, I think the peacefulness of the location is a worthwhile tradeoff.”
