What Previous Guests Had to Say

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Crystal Beach Hotel is known for its excellent location, just a two-minute walk from the beach and close to restaurants and pubs. Many guests appreciate the convenience of having a Korean restaurant on the same road. Rooms often include a sea view, tea and coffee making facilities, a TV, and a fridge; some guests, however, have noted issues such as sparking extension leads for the kettle. For many, it provides good value for the price.
