Each accommodation at the 5-star hotel has city views, and guests can enjoy access to a restaurant and to a bar. Private parking is available on site. We loved that it was a modern version of a traditional Japanese Ryokan! The hotel was very clean both in the public areas and the hotel room! Staff was very kind and professional. They were very accommodating and well versed in different languages. Very foreign and local people friendly.

Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk and room service, along with free WiFi. Private parking is available on site. I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The interior is modern, clean, and beautifully designed. The large, comfy bed and exceptionally clean bathroom with minimal style decor and functional design stood out. The lighting creates a cozy ambiance, and the room is fully equipped with amenities. A highlight was the adorable housekeeping robot—such a unique touch!

Free WiFi is featured throughout the property and private paid parking is available on site.The property provides a pick-up service from Kyoto Station Hachijo Exit to Hotel The Celestine Kyoto Gion. Everything! Polite, happy, helpful staff from the beginning. Served iced green tea whilst waiting for check in. Luxury feel. Rooms were spacious and bright, the lounge area for use in the afternoons with drinks and snacks was very welcome after a day in the extreme heat/humidity in August. I was emotional to leave, we had such a wonderful stay. Prefer location for Gion, but also easy walk across the bridge/river to busier part of the city. It felt like a home away from home.
