#7 of 9 hotels in Higashiyama & Kiyomizu by Axel's take. Higashiyama & Kiyomizu is #6 of 7 places to stay in Kyoto. The best hotels in Higashiyama & Kiyomizu, ranked · Where to stay in Kyoto

Axel's take: 8.7/10

Polished Gion comfort and excellent service, tempered by next-door construction. an upscale Japanese-style 4-star in historic Gion, scored for what it is.

The Celestine is an upscale Japanese-style 4-star opposite Kenninji Temple, and a strong pick for exploring Gion on foot. Recent Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise the spotless rooms, comfortable beds and helpful staff. The public bath and well-regarded breakfast add substance to the restrained design: this is a hotel with Japanese touches, not a traditional ryokan.

The biggest caveat is current next-door building construction. The hotel warns of possible noise and vibration from October 1, 2026 through March 31, 2028, with work scheduled from 8am to 6pm. On-site parking is also unavailable. Smaller-scale drawbacks include a guest lounge that several reviewers find cramped or crowded. We'd choose it for sightseeing days and comfortable evenings, but skip it if undisturbed daytime relaxation is central to your trip.

  • Best for: couples exploring historic Kyoto; travelers who enjoy Japanese public baths; sightseers prioritizing Gion

  • Watch out for: next-door construction through March 2028; no on-site parking; small, sometimes crowded guest lounge

  • Location: Opposite Kenninji Temple, with Gion's historic streets within easy walking distance.

  • Rooms: Well-equipped contemporary Japanese interiors; entry-level queen rooms are 25.7 square meters.

  • Cleanliness: Consistently strong guest feedback, supported by high cleanliness ratings on Booking.com and Expedia.

  • Service: Recent guests repeatedly praise friendly staff and helpful concierge assistance.

  • Amenities: Large public bath, Japanese restaurant, guest lounge and bar; breakfast earns frequent praise.

  • Fees and surprises: Accommodation tax is payable separately; minibars are charged, parking is off-site, and adjacent construction may cause daytime noise.
