Guesthouse Chayama (KYOTO HOLIDAY HOMES) — Hotel in Kyoto

Chayama. It sounds like charm to me. As a mother of three children I am particular choosing a place to stay. It has to be cozy, it has to be like home. Chayama house has turned to be a magical place. Of course, it’s the beautiful teapot and tea cups that stole my heart. But for my family there was more. It was the atmosphere of the house and the neighborhood. While my kids enjoyed playing at a nearby park my husband prepared a lovely dinner for friends as he often does even though we had just arrived on that day. I rode a bike to Kamogawa as I used to and I felt young again. It was nice to sleep on the futons upstairs and we all could relax. The house itself is like a little gift box wrapped in lots of paper. All the interior details from the mattress wrappers to the bell above the sink make Chayama a beautiful and wondrous place to be. We could feel Kyoto: the rain singing its song, neighbors hanging laundry, the smell of fried meet from the restaurant nearby. All such things are indescribable and we are grateful for having this...

We had a great stay and very relaxing time at the guesthouse. It was only 2 minute walk from the station but in the quiet neighbourhood. It was great that there was a convenience store close by (1min walk). The house was a very beautiful Japanese style house. Everything was clean and it was very comfortable to stay.

Easy access to Demachiyanagi where we could walk to Shimogamo Shrine which was a beautiful world heritage site, and also to Sanjo and Gion-shijo where there were so many shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. So it was a very convenient and comfortable place to stay and we could make the best of our stay in Kyoto!!...

We couldn't fault this guest house. The space is lovely. It's clean, practical and pleasant to spend time in. The location was really great for us, easy walking distance to the Eizan line, and linking on from there to Kyoto central and beyond. The bikes provided were really fun, a great aspect of our trip, and we loved the tatami mat rooms and futons. There is a 7 eleven a couple of miles away, and bigger shops within walking distance. There were some useful essentials in the property when we arrived, including laundry tabs, which were hugely appreciated. Super friendly host, 100%...
