I am a repeat patron at Celeste. It is always a top stay when lodging in St. Paul for business or pleasure. Quiet and quaint setting, with bar and optional sitting. Only problem was that initial entry to a room, left us seeking a working and functional bathroom. Otherwise, would have given five stars again to this facility.

The hotel was fully booked for a concert nearby so you'd think they'd pull some stops. The staff were friendly enough, but this is definitely a mid hotel. The coolest thing going for it was the history and architecture. Midwest can have back and forth weather, but the rooms were quite warm. We requested fans and that helped but there is no cooling system in place otherwise. Our friends were also staying and they ended up in a garden level that hummed constantly. At first, staff were confused and denied such a thing, but then they claimed it was the laundry. They promised it would stop by the evening but it was still going. It definitely would have made them go insane so we swapped with them. When we moved in, it was clear that there were design flaws. The bed frame being metal and jutting out in a somewhat tight space--my fiance and I have bruises from hitting our shins on it. We attempted to open the drawers of the nightstand and it was stickied shut, so something leaked and they didn't catch the spill. There was also a lighter underneath the nightstand. There is only one trash reciprical near the door to the room. Nothing in the bathroom. Anyhow, it really was just design flaws that made the room not as nice as other places we have stayed. The bathroom was nicely renovated though. The breakfast was a let-down with little offerings and the parking situation was a garage behind with little help from staff since they weren't associated. $60 for a two nights, three day park-ew.

The staff was very friendly, the hotel is very clean, the location is great, although requires you to pay for parking. My only critique of this hotel would be the breakfast. It has cereal, milk, prepackaged oatmeal, and muffins that look like they have been frozen and thawed. Totally acceptable, but not great. Also, if you’re superstitious, this hotel might make you feel a bit spooked.

Loved this quaint hotel. Great ambience. Nice mattresses. Quiet, very quiet. Breakfast was your normal hot/cold fair so fine but nothing too exciting. Convent to some downtown locations. There is public parking right at the back. We had to walk around the building with our luggage, nor sure if there was a better way, could just be we didn’t know. I think on the winter rooms would be great. Ours was ok temp wise, it had been an almost 60 degree day, a little warm in the room at bedtime was fine by morning. Without A/C I’m not sure I would want to stay in the hot months. All staff we interacted with were fast, friendly and helpful. Would define stay again.

I’m a fan a hotels with character, and this one does it!

Right off the bat, you can tell it’s an older hotel that could use some repairs, but the building has lived a full life with many stories. Oh, if those walls could talk!

I’m not taking off stars because it’s an older property. I knew that going in.

The room was spacious, and clean. The staff were friendly, helpful and just great. I’m also a sucker for a “free” breakfast.

What a great spot. My son and I were in town for the Wild game and I found this hotel using the Expedia search. Got a suite with two fully separate bedrooms, a living room and large washroom, for the same price as most others were asking for a two queen bed room! The building is a converted nunnery from the early 20th century, and they've done a really nice job of it. Included a nice breakfast and small gym. Staff was great as well. Parking is not included, had to park at the adjacent world trade center parking lot, but it is not too expensive there over the weekend (or alternatively, there is free street parking if you can find it). Will return when next in town!

The hotel is wonderful. The history of the property makes it a fun place. It is a close walk to a lot of restaurants and entertainment. However, the property sits near homeless shelter and the neighborhood draws a lot of individuals who are struggling with mental health and drugs. Therefore, walks in the evening did not feel like a safe option. It did feel fairly safe during the daytime when downtown St. Paul is busy with people. *I want to emphasize the property is great but be cautious when traveling outside the location.

The stay was overall very nice, comfy bed, wonderful unique room and property, great for a night away. The only downside was the staff and communication. We felt like check in was not warm, friendly or informative. We ended up googling to try and figure out what was going on with the bar (almost missed getting drinks and did miss getting food) and were confused about parking. We would have liked to explore the property more but felt limited with the information that was given to us. The front desk staff gave us a feeling that our presence was a hassle for them, both at check out and check in. We wish that they had more information in the room about amenities and the property. With a unique hotel we were expecting something a little different from staff and overall experience. But overall very cool place!

The lady who checked us in was not friendly or helpful. Told us to park in the ramp but didn't explain how to get back into the hotel. We eventually figured out that we had to walk out to the street, up the sidewalk, and enter the hotel on the side entrance. A heads up would have been helpful. When we entered our room on the 5th floor the heat was on high and the temperature in the room had to be 80°. One of the windows was open but that wasn't helping to cool the room. We were never able to control the temperature.
The room was nothing special but it was clean and quiet. The included breakfast was well stocked and had a good selection.
The front desk staff was friendly and helpful after our less than stellar check in.

We stayed in a room on the bottom floor. The heat in the room was either on or off. So at one point the temperature of the room was 57 degrees and at another point it was in the 80's. We called the front desk (which we did on our cell phone, because there is no phone in the room) and asked if we could adjust the heat. We were told that it was an old building and there was no adjusting it. If we wanted to cool down the room we could open the windows. Our windows were on the ground floor and we could see people walking outside and it was 18 degrees outside. I asked to talk to a manager and was told that they would call me, they never did. We were also disappointed with the breakfast, they ran out of warm food while we were there. On a positive note, the rooms were very clean and it was in a good location near the Grand Casino Arena.

We were charged for snack bar items, that we did not purchase. We neither purchased anything from the bar nor the snack bar. We made no extra purchases what so ever! There was a cart in the room with bottled water and coffee. We did not use any of these items either.
At our check in we were told that we had to change our room type from the one we booked. No reason offered. The woman at the desk assured us it would be an upgrade at no extra charge. We agreed to it. So there should be no charge for this either.
We asked to speak to the manager. He was not available. We asked them to review their video surveillance as there was a camera by the snack bar.The woman at the desk stated she would forward the issue to the owner for review. The charges on the credit card disappeared for a few days then reappeared unchanged. Nobody contacted us with any explanation.
If this happened to us, i am certain it will happen to others. We are very upset over these fraudulent charges. If it happened to us, iI am sure it will happen to others.

Unique place with history. Fun play on the past of the place. Walking distance to most everything. Bed and bedding are comfy. The whole place is clean. Staff are friendly. Breakfast was good- but could use a decaf coffee option. Windows are old and leaky, but the blinds help keep out the cold. The heat is all or nothing- blasting high heat that dries you out or off. The elevator is loudly squeaky such that you can hear it in your room with any use. The light rail station goes right past, with a station 1 block away- convenient for use, but you hear it rattle past at all hours. The church next door also tolls every 15 minutes.

Staff was pleasant and the best part was the location to Palace theatre. Room was clean but beds were far from comfortable. Door had to be slammed to get deadbolt to lock. Then the highlight of the night was getting up every hour and half to turn the heat off or on. Why? Because the thermostat didn’t work and it only blew on high so even if set at 70 on low it would end up close to 90 and once you turn it off it then quickly cools down to 62. So either sweating or freezing cold. Not the best nights rest.

I have never reviewed hotel but I feel obligated to let people know this place is horrible. Where do I even begin? To be fair the checkin process went well but downhill from there. I decided to grab a quick app at the bar so I ordered the flatbread. It turned out to be soggy pizza. I then went up to my room which was the most poorly light room I've ever stayed in. The carpet was flithy, there were cobwebs, there was mold in the bathroom and the paint was peeling of the walls. My room was right next to the light rail so I asked to change rooms which they gladly did. The next room was equally crappy. I went off to work and picked up my wife who was joining for the rest of the stay. When we got to the hotel there were 2 cars in the guest loading zone so I had to park down the street and help my wife maneuver through the ice and snow. When we got to the hotel I realized that one of the cars in the loading zone was there when I left the hotel 6 or 7 hours earlier. I was upset about having to walk a pretty good distance to drop my wife so I asked about the car parked in the loading zone. Turns out it was the manager's car. I totally blew a gasket and what made it worse is her telling me there was nothing wrong with taking up the space for the day. I said I was going to call the owner of the poroperty. She told me 'go ahead.' Are you F ing kidding me? Can't make this stuff up.

The Celeste of St. Paul is a treasure. It's an old convent restored with original woodwork, windows, artwork. Staff were very pleasant. Our room was small but the mattress and pillows were some of the best in any hotel I ever stayed at. Complimentary breakfast included sausage, eggs, potato cubes, cereal, apples, oranges, many juices, yogurt, french toast, etc. The dining room itself included original windows with stained glass borders, chandeliers, high ceiling, two large religious pictures (not quite the height of the walls), one of Mary, the other of St. Joseph holding Jesus as a toddler. As for parking, we had to stay at a lot next to the hotel which cost $24 max for 24 hours. The reason I gave 4 stars was because the floor didn’t look well vacuumed, with a peanut in plain site next to a wall....This was the second time we stayed at the Celeste. We love the atmosphere of the place and are grateful the convent was bought by conscientious people who mained so much of the interior beauty.
