Lovely hotel, very comfortable and relaxing stay.

The Celestine Gion has is a gem, it has calming atmosphere, lovely, spacious rooms and luxurious public bath. The amenities were the beat we had experienced in Japan so far, make sure to try the night gowns. A family of four we had 2 neighbouring rooms and it worked great. The location is a little off the beaten path, however the neighbourhood is old, authentic, close to some of the shrines. The hotel provides a shuttle to / from Kyoto station.

All was great

Perfect boutique luxury hotel in quaint Gion neighbourhood

Cosy, boutique hotel. Just 7 years old. Lovely interior design. Welcome hot bath which is opened from 4pm to 11am which after a long day walking in Kyoto helped ease any muscle soreness. Staff were friendly and helpful. Free Gion Walking Tour but need to book early as only 6 persons allowed (insurance purposes). Breakfast was amazing! Convenient Shuttle bus connecting to Kyoto Train Station.

Exceeds Expectations

Everything. Especially that the spa is open over night so you can enjoy Kyoto and still have time to use it afterwards

よかったです。

コンシェルジュさんに美味しいお寿司屋さんも紹介いただけました。街歩きしながら探したかったので行ってみたら残念ながら、お休みでした。大浴場はよかったです。朝食もとても美味しかったです。

シャトルパスを快適に使わせていただきましたが、待合室の案内が少しわかりにくかったです。大浴場に綿棒等置いていただきたいです。

very comfortable and the location is definitely a big plus

the location is top notch and so convenient

Pleasant, comfortable and relaxing.

The location, even though quite far from the train station, is good because it is nearby the old part of Kyoto. The hotel does provide shuttle bus service to the train station, as I learnt later. The room is very pleasant. Also, the access to the hotel rooms is quite clever, in a way that you could do so without going through the lobby, hence avoiding the checking-in tourists.

Celestine Gion Hotel

My room was immaculate! Super clean, like everything brand new, and the water was nice and hot at all times. Staff were friendly and went out of their way at every encounter to make for the perfect stay.

I can think of nothing.

High quality, Japanese boutique hotel in the heart of Gion.

location outstanding for staying in Gion area, room very thoughfully designed with clever ways of partioning and storing, hotel very discreet and quiet, design is Japanese minimalist with almost no extraenous details or decoration. wet room is a pounding waterfall of high quality very hot water

breakfast barely passable for western tastes, coffee not on par for better hotels, bring your own nespresso pods and breakfast bars instead of paying for that extra, beds and pillows are very firm in the Japanese style, communication with the polite staff requires patience and time, Bar is a charmless closet (bartender very good however), restaurant pricing is very high, you can find the same quality in 10 min walk at 1/3 the price

Exceptional

Beautiful hotel, plenty of in-room amenities and wonderful staff

Only downside was the breakfast, luke-warm and not very tasty for the price. Better to walk over the river and find some restaurants

6 star quality Kyoto hideout

The public bath was amazing - the rooms are big and very very well designed- a lot of sunlight in my room was lovely

Bar is a bit claustrophobic but that is nitpicking

great location, some strong and weak elements

loved quiet atmosphere- sliding doors to give feel of ryokan and gardens. onsen v welcome

sliding doors also made it feel like a prison. breakfast room very basic with mainly Japanese offering. toaster but no bread to toast. particularly inhospitable was the bar behind sliding door and single refectory table. wood of table was superb but no atmosphere of welcome and sociability. English language skills of reception staff needs improving .

Stunning and made Kyoto an easy city to visit.

The property is beautiful and the location is excellent. It’s a few short minutes walk from many of the temples and traditional areas of Kyoto that you want to see. The staff were the real highlight though. All were so incredibly helpful and spoke wonderful English which helps a lot in Japan.

The onsen temperature was a bit too hot and the room’s bedding was a bit warm for the temperatures.

Stunning stay in Kyoto!

Loved the location as we found most things walking distance and it is located off a beautiful heritage site and street. The hotel itself was beautiful and maintained to a very high standard with a well kitted out room. Will recommend to anyone visiting! Concierge and rest of staff were also excellent!

Best stay in Japan so far, easily.

The hotel is beautiful, actually beautiful. The design, layout, concept of the hotel with all these cute cat sculptures sleeping and interacting with the decor, beautiful. The staff are extremely courteous and considerate, it was always a pleasure interacting with them and they made everything so easy. They even arranged to take our luggage back to Tokyo so that we didn't have to take it on the bullet train at a really affordable fee, just incredible. Breakfast is delicious and absolutely worth getting as a part of the package. The hotel have masseuses that they ordered that can come as late as 12.00AM, we had this three times, every time excellent. The quality, space, and amenities of the room, the spa and the yukata was exceptional, especially for the price. Situated in a really sophisticated part of Kyoto, Gion, next to the best yakiniku restaurant and 12 course food experience that we have ever had. Best hotel experience in Japan so far.

Nothing.
