Nice hotel for the price. Service was great, the place smells amazing. They have the air diffusers going in every corner of the public spaces and it’s awesome. The restaurant and lounge could use a little sprucing up in terms of options offered, set up and flexibility but other than that, it was a super clean and nice place to stay in Kyoto, close walk to all the great areas and right by Gion/Geisha District and amazing temples just minutes away.

A must in Kyoto

Perfect location in Kyoto, free walking tours on Wednesday and Friday, highly recommend. So many sights within a short walk. Amazing dining options too and a highlight was Sake Bumpy around the corner for the best sake tasting EVER.

The staff was polite but need to be more attentive to the questions from the guests. To be honest I was having trouble with getting my ticket changed and asked the concierge for help but they told me I have to handle it myself. This is frustrating as the Celestine is suppose to be a high end hotel recommended even from the chat got.
