December was my most recent of about 8 stays at the Celestine. My visits have lasted from three days to eight days. My first stay there was shortly after they opened, and I can say that the quality of rooms, service and breakfast has not faltered at all. It is a simple, low-key hotel by Tokyo standards, which I appreciate -- there are not lots of people bowing as you enter, running to the elevator to push the button for you. Instead it has an under-stated, professional and cordial staff, ready to help in any way possible.
I enjoy the buffet breakfast, which offers both western and Japanese choices. There is no reason to eat lunch or dinner in the hotel.
I have stayed at many hotels in Tokyo, and this is by far the quietest. In fact, I have never heard any noise from the rooms, which are located on the top floors of an office building. The location may seem a bit out of the way, but as a previous reviewer wrote, it is a five minute walk to the Mita Subway Station and only a few minutes further to the Tamachi JR Station, so you can get anywhere in Tokyo very quickly, then return to the peace and quiet of the Celestine.
The rooms are a good size for Japan, and very comfortable. I should warn you that the mattresses are very firm, but you will find this nearly everywhere in the country (historically, their standard is a futon on the floor). You will have everything you need -- television with CNN and BBC, high speed internet access, and robes, towels and toiletries replaced daily.
My only complaint is that it is a long ride on the Limousine Bus to and from the airport, because there are a number of other stops, which are not necessarily on the way. You can take the Narita Express train to Shinagawa Station, which is not far from the Celestine, then take a taxi to the hotel, but this is inconvenient with luggage.
I will likely stay here again many times in the future, and I will do so happily.
