What guests say
8.6 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 473 guest reviews
The Celeste of St Paul wins consistent praise for its stunning conversion of a historic convent, its central downtown location, and its included breakfast served in a chapel setting — giving it a character that few hotels can match. However, a recurring thread of practical complaints — noise from the light rail and nearby fire station, dark lower-level rooms, limited parking, and occasional maintenance issues — suggests the property's charm can sometimes be offset by its quirks and aging infrastructure. Overall guest sentiment is strongly positive, with most visitors happily returning despite the minor shortcomings.
