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.

beach access nearby restaurants room amenities

The hotel is very close to the beach. It is just a two-minute walk. Several restaurants and pubs are nearby. It is a short walk in the opposite direction. The room had a sea view. This was a nice surprise. The room also included towels, tea, a coffee maker, a television, a fridge, and bathroom miniatures.

The EXTENSION lead for the kettle looked like it was sparking.
