The room was clean and spacious by Japanese standards. I would also highly recommend the location - we LOVED the street we were on, in that it was near the hustle and bustle but also very quiet and picturesque. My only critiques would be 1) the concierges were not very knowledgeable and we were left to do a lot of our own research; 2) in my opinion, a hotel of this rating/size should have even a modest fitness center.

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.

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.
