Very pleasant stay
It was a very pleasant stay at the Celestine Hotel Gion. All the staff are very welcoming, friendly, and helpful, making sure that our stay in Kyoto is enjoyable. We appreciate their warm welcome during our stay. The breakfast is very impressive. The food is prepared really to the perfection. We stayed for 4 nights and really enjoyed every breakfast. The staff and chef are very friendly. We will miss them. The room is exceptional - very clean, cozy, modern with plenty of space. The air in the room is also clean. The overall hotel ambiance is very peaceful. The hotel is also strategically located in the Gion area. It is very walkable to many places in Gion and the surrounding area in Kyoto. Hopefully, we can come back again in the future.

The hotel is a bit old. You can see the wallpaper slightly tearing off. The walls are thin and you can hear the neighbor’s TV sounds. But overall the location is great and is very close to all the activities in Kyoto.

It was great. The only mild criticism would be the slightly reduced space for suitcases in the room. Other than that, very nice. Nice breakfast, very helpful staff overall.

What a gem! Celestine Gion is an amazing property in a historical and quaint neighborhood. There is plenty to do (e.g., temples, shrines, bakeries, tea houses, restaurants etc.) within walking distance and coming back to the hotel after sightseeing in the heat of August was pure bliss. As soon as you step in, there's a feeling of total serenity. The fragrance used in the lobby was an absolute favorite for our family of 4 and we ended up buying related products to bring home. The rooms were very clean and comfortable with plenty of toiletries, nice teas, coffees etc. We made good use of the public bath (sento) - it was the perfect place to relax after a busy day. They do offer free guided walks on certain days and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The shuttle service to the train station was also very convenient. And finally, a special thanks to the personnel. Always welcoming, attentive and courteous - they made our stay in Kyoto very memorable and we look forward to going back.
