Traveller reviews
verma “Clean, spacious rooms however entrance need revamp.”
16 Jun 2025
The rooms are pretty clean. The luggage space is quite separate as the rooms have tatami mats. I had already read review about the entrance to the Inn being very clumsy and unorganized so I was prepared. I wanted to show rooms with tatami mats and typical Japanese style tea table and mini balcony to my kids hence I booked at the Inn for couple of nights. Overall good and comfortable. The tatami room was spacious and clean, if anyone has small kids they can play around without getting hurt. Pricewise okay. 10minutes walk to Kyoto station. Quiet area. One gets good teaching about some of the Japanese culture like changing shoes into house slippers at the entrance, plus rules of tatami, rules of bathroom etc....

Matthew “Traditional tatami rooms, great location and a friendly host”
25 May 2025
We loved our stay at Sparking Dolphins! It was our first time sleeping in a tatami room and we were overjoyed at the opportunity. The hotel owner was there to greet us and was extremely kind and helpful. He showed us to the room and explained Japanese customs around how to handle shoes and other belongings in a tatami room. It was a joy to see him each day and our attempts at conversing in Japanese were warmly received! He is a great guy and a great host.
Steven “Budget friendly way to stay in Kyoto”
17 Apr 2025
The owner/host is very kind and helpful, my daughter also was very taken with the Senegal Bush Baby which is the hotel's mascot. We also received a memento photograph of our stay. It's budget friendly but we enjoyed the tatami mats and futons.
