Our second stay at the Celestine and was just as amazing as our first stay in 2023. They staff was amazing in setting up dining reservations in some of our favorite spots in Kyoto. The breakfast team deserves a raise for all the hard work they put into an awesome, and tranquil dining experience. The onsite spa is the perfect way to rest and relax after walking through multiple cities or towns. They truly understand their guests and what it takes for them to have a magical and tranquil experience.
