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.

Very well run hotel. Only issue is the bar area is sadly lacking in the mood it gives off. Feels like you are in a bunker.

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.
