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.

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.
