Its a good location and the rooms was well appointed. The highlight of the stay was the local tour provided by the concierge. Super interesting and he was really knowledgeable. There a few things of no huge concern that we didn't care for - the bar was tiny and the staff generally we not very flexible in our requests. The public onsen facility if good.

Loved everything about this hotel…from the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcomed and valued. The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully decorated, the public bath was perfect after a long day of site-seeing & walking. The location was ideal, nice & quiet with easy access to nearby attractions and public transportation…Would highly recommend

The Celestine Gion is beautiful 4.5 star hotel in the heart of Gion, the primary touristic part of Kyoto. Its location on a quiet side street means that you won’t be bothered by the hellish nightmare of over tourism that Kyoto endures. The rooms are stylish and smart. The bathroom set up may seem jarring to some at first, but it actually is quite tasteful and clearly a design feature and not some sort of workaround. The spa is peaceful and elegant. The staff is excellent and attentive by even the highest standards. This is truly a low key beauty of a hotel and I would recommend it to anyone who isn’t looking for a large resort style or business hotel experience.

The hotel is tucked away in the heart of Gion, offering a perfect blend of modern comfort and traditional Kyoto charm. First off, the hotel is incredibly clean. The rooms are spacious, well-kept, and thoughtfully designed, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of sightseeing. The attention to detail was evident, from the fresh linens to the well-maintained amenities. One of the biggest perks of this hotel is its location. It's just a short walk to the famous Kiyomizu-dera, making it a great base for exploring Kyoto’s historic sites. The Gion district itself is beautiful to walk through, especially in the evenings when the streets light up with lanterns, and you might even catch a glimpse of a geisha or two!

Nice hotel. Nice touch to have the mini bar included. Amazing bathroom products Having a divider between the bedroom & lounge room meant you couldn’t watch TV whilst in bed. A little intense on all the formalities of shoes off, what towels to take to onsen, what robes to wear to onsen etc…
