8.2/10 Very Good! (69 reviews)

The room was spacious and clean. We really enjoyed the free breakfast downstairs at the cafe. The bed in our room was not the most comfortable although we still slept. I feel the mattress and bed frame could use some improvements. Otherwise, we have no complaints!

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!
