We enjoyed our stay at the Celestine. The staff was very nice and polite and the check in experience with fresh tea was a classy touch! We were also escorted to our room whilst showing us the hotel amenities. The hotel is central, close to everything! Would book the Celestine again!

This is truly the perfect place to stay in Kyoto. It has a very Zen energy, Including everything from the staff, the design, the fit and finish in the rooms, and the amenities. We will definitely stay here again. It is the perfect jumping off spot for great sites around the Kyoto area. The breakfast buffet is fantastic, and the chef who prepares it is a gem. Really the perfect place!

Wonderful hotel experience
One of my favorite hotel experiences ever. The greeting alone was so warm and thoughtful as they grab your bags and let you sit through check in. Service is impeccable. Rooms are a delight. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Wonderfully located as well.

Location is good & its nice property ( think doubletree by Hilton type ) but at just over £300 per night without breakfast it was without a doubt overpriced We had a ground floor room ( it’s called 1st floor but the ground floor is basement ) beside the lift, the lift was not troublesome but the room was dark & you could only see the sky by lying on the floor by the window, limited hotel facilities, makeshift bar in the evening , they need to manage expectations if they are going to charge over £300 per night room only, there are better hotels nearby for the same price, we did not stay during blossom week or golden week, just a normal time, disappointed, would not return
