Tabist Sparkling Dolphins Inn Kyoto

Nice little Inn. Good value for the money. But not a hotel type of place. Make sure you bring cash at check in because the city tax is only payable by cash! Small and tied but good for what we needed. Typical Japanese which means that you will sleep in mat and suitcases /bags can not be on the mat which is the more spacious area. The area where you store baggage in your room is VERY tight. There is no space to lay out your stuff and even your everyday items such as brushes etc. it was Ik by us but gets a little use to. Bathroom is very small a well so if you are a big / tall person, I would say it will be hard. Basic amenities. Washer and dryer in the lobby and coin operated. Good motion not too far from the station but a k hike to all major downtown activities. Again, not a big deal for us as we used metro and buses, but needs to be thought through.

Comfortable stay. Close ti many places. If you just want to be left alone, and dont need any frills, this is a great place for you. The innkeeper was very helpful and courteous. The entryway kind of took us aback at first. Its like youre walking into someone's house. But had a great experience.

A bit of a walk from the station, but it was nice to stay in a japanese style room in Kyoto. Space to open luggage is a bit limited since we had 6 large luggage, but overall enjoyed the stay. Rooms were cleaned everyday day and amenities resupplied. Host was super friendly and helpful even though I couldn't communicate well in Japanese.

There was good and the host is kind and helpful. Not far away from Kyoto Station Appreciate
