Celeste of St Paul

The hotel ambiance is nice, I liked the old monastery vibes. The room AC did very little, the hotel was nice enough to loan me a floor fan. The room itself was clean, except for the outside of the window. A lot of pigeons liked to congregate there, leaving mounds of droppings. The breakfast was limited, but good quality. Also the area is a bit rough, but no one messed with me.

Beautiful property! Everything was comfortable and clean, the staff was wonderful, and the location was great.

I love this quaint little boutique hotel. Beautifully converted convent/ school. The location can’t be beat if you have things to do and see in St Paul. Easy parking. Loading zone up front.

Know where to park and arrive early because the neighborhood gives off I Am Legend vibes. Bring a fan to stay cool because there is one option on the registers, low-medium-or high hot air. Adjusting the temo is not an option. The hotel sets the temp at 72 and you can't change it but that doesn't mean the air works and rooms can get to 86 degrees. The windows don't open to circulate air either. The place can have an old smell in some areas so you might think to bring an air diffuser as well.

The staff was exceptional, especially the front desk person. She helped me with various things, and told me the history of the hotel. I loved the atmosphere of the place and that you've conserved the feel of the old convent.

The Celeste in downtown St. Paul is a renovated convent, uniquely charming, with artwork by the former residents. The location is perfect: the Green line and other transit is steps away, Union Station is two stops down, and the Capitol and Cathedral are easy to reach. The staff have the fortunate combination of professional competence, accommodation, and friendliness. Our room was beautiful; we particularly enjoyed the walk-in shower in the tiled bathroom, the HVAC was easy to set for comfort.
The double-paned windows and blinds shut out the noise and light of the city. I seldom give out 5s, but the Celest deserves them.

My husband and I stayed in the Kings Suite with lounge area and were heavily disappointed with our stay. Our room was incredibly noisy with the transit right outside our window, sirens, alarms, heavy construction, and the sound of chairs scrapping right above our room. I had stayed at the Celeste before and we were so excited to share our special day at your location, only to be exhausted and agitated with waking up every hour due to noise. Had we of known there was construction with what seemed to be at every corner outside of our hotel room, furniture moving above our heads due to the possibility of the breakfast hall being above us, and the noisy transits right outside of our window, we would have chosen to spend our special day somewhere else. The thermostats could not go below 70 and it was near 95 degrees outside and our blinds could not full extend to block out the sun. Although these may seem like minor things, my husband and I are very disappointed in how we spent our special night.

The beautiful restoration.

The room was great but noisy

The room looked bigger online than it actually was and when I mentioned an upgrade to them that I was will to pay for they got us into a King Executive Suite the next morning and did it for free. The food was real, no fake eggs and it was pretty busy the weekend we were there and had a little bit of a tough time keeping things stocked up for all the guest. Overall it is a great place! We will be back!!!

Everything I wanted, Clean, nice staff, great location. The building is charming. Parking convenience could be better.

The Celeste is a charming old conservatory that's now a hotel. As the title indicates, the conservatory used to be run / inhabited by nuns, and you get that as soon as you set foot inside and throughout the building. Overall, my stay was really pleasant. The location is quiet, is close to many restaurants, is next to a tram line, and is across from a Catholic church whose interior is beautiful! I would stay here again.

I loved every minute of my stay at Celeste - and ended up reading about its fascinating history - first as St. Agatha's from the late 1800s, and then as a hotel since the 1960s. Wonderful rooms, great breakfast, and peace and quiet :)

The staff at this hotel was very friendly and definitely made the check in and check out process easy! It’s a gorgeous location though the rooms themselves were more humble in design. During our stay it had rained and the floor near my bed (the side with the tv and ac) had become wet. I am unsure how this happened as it occurred during the night. I’m curious as how this happened since we were not on the top floor nor saw anything that would suggest a leak, and the spot did not exist before we entered the room. The staff did take note of this issue as we had checked out.

Liked the convent vibe

We will come back to this hotel when staying in St.Paul. Especially liked our room on the 6th floor, where we had views of the Capital from Cedar Street, heard the bells of St. Louis King of France Church, and walked to the Thai Sawtdee Restaurant both within 5 minutes walking distance.
