Breakfast outstanding, Clean room, Helpful staff
Back felt mattress by second day. As solo traveler I would have preferred desk or table and appropriate chair instead of low, far back leaning chairs with coffee table. Though I saw luggage stands throughout the hotel, there was none in my room. Staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast buffet was outstanding.

The property is amazing. Its location in Gion makes it really convenient to walk around and you feel fully immersed in the culture. The hotel itself is very clean, traditional, and well-kept… I would highly recommend.

Loved the Celestine. The facilities were spotless and the staff were so lovely. The location is amazing as well. We did stay in one of their larger rooms but would be happy to stay here in one of the smaller rooms because the staff were so great.

Great location to visit Gion area and Kennin-hi. Hotel is not close to easy dining options. The room has nothing special from other hotels in Nishiki market area. Staff are very polite, but we just didn’t feel anything special that’s worthwhile for the price you pay.
