Everything about the Celestine was great. Location made for a quiet refuge that was also conveniently located near bustling streets. The hotel itself was quiet and relaxing with a great public bath. Staff are beyond friendly. Wish we could have stayed longer.

This property was fantastic. The location was amazing - right in the heart of Gion which made it extremely walkable. The staff was friendly and professional. But my favorite thing about the hotel had to be the on sight Onsen! Would definitely recommend this property when in Kyoto.

Perfect location. Nice clean and very quiet hotel. Try the restaurant next door Tempura Endo - exquisite. Only downside - regular rooms are super small - we only had carry-ons and backpack and barely squeezed. If you have luggage - get a larger room or you'll be very frustrated. Staff was great.
