Celeste of St Paul

Enjoyed our stay at this historic hotel. The architecture is beautiful throughout. Beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows. Shower was nice. Breakfast buffet offered everything from eggs to cinnamon coffee cake. The bar is cozy and inviting. We walked to 1881 for dinner and the farmers market the next morning. Very delightful stay.

Beautiful hotel, wonderful staff and a decent breakfast every morning. Felt very safe as a woman traveling alone.

My stay here was fine, nice and quiet. The vibe / room decor was different than what I expected based on the lobby & entrance so that threw me a little bit, & I wasn’t sure if all the staff enjoyed their employment. The bar is lovely.

Wonderful place! We always stay here when visiting family.

Bed was very clean and comfortable. The overall aesthetic was quite pleasant and breakfast was decent.

Loved this boutique hotel. It has a lot of charm and character. The breakfast was fairly standard, but still quite good. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to family and friends.

The hotel was so cool and beautiful and we loved the little kitschy nods to the church. Breakfast was yummy and well stocked. No complaints!

We love the Celeste! Third time’s a charm. It’s a quirky boutique hotel with a good vibe. The staff is friendly, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the property (albeit historic) has good handicap accommodations. The accessible room we stayed in on the second floor was outstanding! Definitely our favorite St Paul hotel!

The staff was wonderful, the hotel was gorgeous, and breakfast in the old chapel was such a unique experience. The location is also great for exploring downtown St. Paul. Now, because I'm me, I obviously had to Google whether a 100+ year-old former convent was haunted. I didn't find anything convincing, but shortly afterward THREE very well-fed gray pigeons appeared outside our window about three feet away and proceeded to sit there cooing. Were they ordinary downtown St. Paul pigeons? Probably. Were they three former nuns checking to make sure we were enjoying our stay? I cannot confirm or deny. Either way, they were polite and caused no problems. In all seriousness, Celeste is one of those hotels that becomes part of the trip instead of just being somewhere you sleep. Beautiful, historic, comfortable, unique, and memorable. We would absolutely stay here again—and apparently, we already have friends on the outside.

Very good

The basement / ground floor rooms are so dank, damp and depressing. It’s really gross down there. The musty smell is really bad, and the rooms feels like it’s a dungeon. The price is way too high for that depressing room. The carpet is gross. There is nothing on the walls. We needed a place to stay for just one night before we headed off to a lake vacation, and I really regretted not booking at a larger, better hotel. I leave this review to help other people because the photos do NOT represent what the basement room is like. I could not wait to wake up and get out of that musty, damp, and gross room.

i loved staying at the celeste, it's built in an old nunnery and they kept the charm of the old building intact but the rooms are very clean and up to date and well maintained. the gym is small but it has dumbbells up to 50lbs and an adjustable bench which is all i needed for a solid workout. has a nice bar and all the staff are friendly. 5/5 stars

Parents enjoyed a clean room & bathroom with fresh linens and towels. Breakfast was quiet and not chaotic. We all agreed that we would stay there again.

Very clean room and pleasant staff. We love the view of the Capitol!

Such a great concept and location. They are a hidden gem! I will be back! There is nothing to dislike!

The breakfast was extremely good, especially for a free breakfast, the staff was friendly, and the rooms were clean and nice

We asked for another room but they said they were booked, so we had to bear with it. No resolution from the hotel personnel unless we paid a suite for only one night and higher price , of course. The second room was kind of ok considering the carácter of the building, but there was no tv connection, and the corners of the bathroom were also filthy . We requested cleaning of our rooms after the first night and the house keeping never showed up. When we came back at night, beds were still undone , trash was still there and no cleaning of the bathrooms was done. Pictures in the Expedia site are really misleading about this hotel. Rooms are not like that, at least the ones we got. We will not recommend this hotel at all

Excellent place to stay for any downtown St Paul fun. Steps away from Fitzgerald theater, Children’s Museum, and the Palace theater. Unique property with lots of personality and charm.

Beautiful old building, with a beautifully remodeled bathroom in our room. Parking was unfortunately $10 more than advertised ($31 total versus $17.75 for 25 hour parking advertised)

Cool building with lots of history. Staff were exceptionally nice. Let me check in at 10am. Shower had full door. It was a quirky place that reminded me of European boutique hotels There is a LOT of paintings and photos from when it was a convent. I think that’s cool but if you’re put off by religious imagery be warned
