Lovely spacious room with a balcony. It's in a great location; the Imperial Gardens are just a few blocks away and the nearest subway station links up easily to all of Kyoto's biggest attractions.

I loved how spacious our room was. The hotel was so nice and clean. It definitely was in a good location. Quiet around the area but one/two streets over was all the shopping/food places. Loved the in house spa and facial options. We didn’t get a facial because they were booked out but massage was nice!

Every little detail was well thought out. They consider themselves a 2-star property on their site but in reality, the amenities were first rate and very modern. I even liked that the shower would shut off after a certain period of time; this helps conserve water. Comfortable beds, lovely white sheets, beautiful seating areas in the corner room with the river view, many adjustable lighting settings, above all very clean surroundings. The staff are helpful and will not hesitate to assist you. It was also right at the start of the Gion district and still can easily access the modern parts of the city just over the bridge.

It’s a very old Ryokan but it is well maintained. It has its own public bath so you get to experience it without an added cost and it is very convenient. Our room had its own bath too. The dinner was very good, every dish served was good. The Japanese lady who served us was very kind and attentive. I also liked the garden view from the room. The train station is nearby.

The Celestine Gion has is a gem, it has calming atmosphere, lovely, spacious rooms and luxurious public bath. The amenities were the beat we had experienced in Japan so far, make sure to try the night gowns. A family of four we had 2 neighbouring rooms and it worked great. The location is a little off the beaten path, however the neighbourhood is old, authentic, close to some of the shrines. The hotel provides a shuttle to / from Kyoto station.

The best hotel I stayed in while in Japan. The room was large and the bed was comfortable. The detailed design and finishes of the room were outstanding. The bathroom colour for instance was an unexpected yet VERY classy. The staff was friendly and super helpful in helping me get around. I loved the reception area. Also well appointed with a beautiful stream view. The apéritivo till 10 PM was an excellent touch (sake collection, snacks, tea and coffee).

1. The luxurious toilets. Better than most 5 star hotels. 2. The excellent location. One minute walk to sanjo Station which is along keihan line which will bring you to most famous sights in kyoto. 3. Close to car rental shop. Do a day trip out with driving. Taxis are everywhere as well. 4. Excellent location again. Walk to gion, nishiki, kamo river, pontocho, ninenzaka, kiyumizudera, shopping area at kawarachi. 5. Huge beds and room. Our room accommodated 2 adults and 2 kids for 4 nights comfortably. Rooms are quiet and clean.

A wonderful modern hotel providing the traditional japanese experience. From check in we felt treated like VIPs, the exec lounge had free champagne in happy hour. Superbly large and comfortable room, fully stocked with toiletries, coffee machine, etc I loved seeing everyone in the hotel walking around in the supplied Japanese clothing - so cool. The restaurant looked amazing so I advise people to include dinner

Alex at reception was a joy. We wanted to adopt him as we have grown-up sons like him already. So helpful, polite and respectful. His employers and his parents should be very proud of him, as he should be of himself. Room facilities were excellent. Everything to hand. Deep bath was a greatly-appreciated luxury. Location superb - within easy walking distance of numerous sights, eating places, shops etc etc. View over the water was lovely.

This hotel was a treat to ourselves on our long trip and it certainly lived up to expectations. I didn’t give 5 stars for comfort as we chose the futon bed for the incredible suite with the wooden soaking tub, so not the most comfy bed but that was my fault!

Our rooms were overlooking the beautiful and tranquil gardens. The whole property exuded serenity and luxury. The staff were absolutely superb. We were able to enjoy our room with the wide range of beverages. The dinner was absolutely delectable. Even my teenage kids tasted everything. Not only were the dishes well presented, the food was heavenly. It was also a very short pleasant walk to nearby temples.
