Hotel Crush On is superbly located in a quiet area, yet close enough to walk to Nishiki Market and across the river to Gion. There are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops nearby to choose from too. We loved our stay at Hotel Crush On. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our stay here. We wish the one bed was as comfy as the other but we have zero complaints. Its close to a couple train lines, 7eleven, lawsons and not far from shopping mall.
