Breakfast outstanding, Clean room, Helpful staff

Back felt mattress by second day. As solo traveler I would have preferred desk or table and appropriate chair instead of low, far back leaning chairs with coffee table. Though I saw luggage stands throughout the hotel, there was none in my room. Staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast buffet was outstanding.

This hotel is wonderful! We picked it based on location, price, and reviews. The staff is fabulous. On arrival, for check in, we were offered comfortable chairs, hot tea, and a warm washcloth. Madoka, the staff person who welcomed us, was so amazing. She showed us to our room, explained how everything worked, got me a large size kata to wear to the public bath, and was just so sweet and nice. The location is great, in the Gion neighborhood of eastern Kyoto, close to many highlights and historic places. For example, Kennin-ji, the first and oldest Zen temple in Japan, is one block away. There are also lots of great restaurants nearby to choose from. The hotel has a lovely spa / public bath, open from 3 pm to 10 am. I went every morning on our 3-night stay, and had it to myself 2 of 3 days. Another highlight of this hotel is the free neighborhood walking tour. It leaves at 10 am & takes about 90 minutes. Kenta, our tour guide, was great and full of local knowledge. You learn so much more on a guided tour than you can by just walking and looking on your own. History of major sights, and also explanations of little hidden things right in front of you. Breakfast buffet was excellent, a variety of Japanese and western items. Even a tempura chef! Our room was spacious and clean, modern with a nice aesthetic. And, the price was quite reasonable. I would definitely stay here again.

Very pleasant stay

It was a very pleasant stay at the Celestine Hotel Gion. All the staff are very welcoming, friendly, and helpful, making sure that our stay in Kyoto is enjoyable. We appreciate their warm welcome during our stay. The breakfast is very impressive. The food is prepared really to the perfection. We stayed for 4 nights and really enjoyed every breakfast. The staff and chef are very friendly. We will miss them. The room is exceptional - very clean, cozy, modern with plenty of space. The air in the room is also clean. The overall hotel ambiance is very peaceful. The hotel is also strategically located in the Gion area. It is very walkable to many places in Gion and the surrounding area in Kyoto. Hopefully, we can come back again in the future.

Great location to visit Gion area and Kennin-hi. Hotel is not close to easy dining options. The room has nothing special from other hotels in Nishiki market area. Staff are very polite, but we just didn’t feel anything special that’s worthwhile for the price you pay.
