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.

Fabulous, spacious, amazing beds and shower heads. The entire hotel smelled great and was extremely relaxing. Best hotel we stayed at in Japan, and one of the best I've stayed at ever! We got the deluxe twin suite, with four individual beds.

While looking for a hotel in Kyoto, we wanted a place within walking distance of the city center and of high quality. Fauchon Hotel, which we had already enjoyed in Paris, was an excellent choice. They beautifully combined French style with the traditional spirit of Kyoto, creating a truly delightful experience. The team was incredible. We left feeling very very happy.

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!

This was the greatest stay on my life hands down. The hosts were not only kind and wonderful people, they also gave us a complete two day itinerary with transit tips and all. They anticipated all our needs during our stay. Truly cannot say enough kind words about them, I felt like we were truly friends. The property itself (west luxury suite) was STUNNING!! gorgeous details, beautifully kept, so clean. Then the breakfasts were amazing too! Do yourself a favor and try the full Japanese style breakfast cause it’s so unique and fun and delicious.
