Reviews for Crystal House Hotel
Review 1:There was nothing to dislike about this establishment,keep up the good work.
Review 2:Warm welcome and superb hospitality generally.Room very comfortable,breakfast excellent. Close to the town and promenade.Ideal for short or long break.
Review 3:Could do with some updating, it's all getting a bit tatty
Review 4:Katie and stephen were lovely - really friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Really accomodating
Review 5:The rooms are small and outdated. There is no heating in the room, so a separate battery is provided. It keeps pipping when ever it reaches max or min level. It was a nightmare! So we switched it off and ended up in a freezing room. The 2 level bed for kids was of a very poor quality, kept creaking when ever you try to move. So we did not have a good night as you can imagine!
Review 6:Staff are friendly. Breakfast was nice.
Review 7:The owners where very welcoming and very helpful nothing was to much. I even got an upgrade at no extra charge. View from my room was beautiful would highly recommend.

All round great break away and will be returning next year.
Review 17:Nothing
Review 18:Friendly welcome, close to town, good breakfast and the time that I was not around for breakfast, they provided me with a hot sausage sandwich to take away.
Review 19:Katie and Steve?
Review 20:We loved staying here! Me and my friend just wanted a night at the beach, it was great! The staff were awesome, the facilities were good, great position. Reccomend to stay ☺
Review 21:Tiny room with tiny en suite and a view of the fire escape. Needed a clean.
Review 22:Nice informative owners. On the sea front, easy walk to the centre. Good breakfast.
Review 23:nothing to dislike
Review 24:a comfortable stay with a sea view, with everythng you need when staying away from home. Its run by friendly hosts - nothing is too much trouble. Would definatley recommend it
Review 25:They are in progress of updating and there was a sense of being too casual with family living on the ground floor and feeling like we were interrupting a their dinner. The beds were hard and were 2 twins pushed together.
Review 26:Friendly and informative staff and I sort of liked the dogs of which there are 2 boxers. Also there was instant hot water in the shower, bit no hot water to wash your hands in the sink.
Review 27:our room was the sâme price as the seafront renovated room. room n.3 was dark and not been cleaned for a while the television didn't work and the connection wifi was very low and couldn't use it.
Review 28:The b&B it's very well located on the seaside. Thanks very much to the staff for being so helpful and nice with us!
Review 29:I didn't realise when booking that the money would go from my account at that time which was 2 months before our visit.
Review 30:The hosts at Crystal Hotel couldn't have been more helpful. The single room was excellent value.
Review 31:The room was a little cold at night but I was expecting that as the weather was cold outside
Review 32:I liked the fact that the hotel/b&ms is situated in the perfect place. Perfect view from bedroom, not too far away from everything.
Review 33:Having to leave!!
Review 34:Friendliness of the owners. I missed the first breakfast as the bed was so comfortable and the owner offered me a late breakfast.I have stayed at many 5 star hotels but enjoyed this much more.
Review 35:The cramped bathroom, the very shallow washbasin. In fact the bed was too big for the size of bedroom and there were not enough surfaces. I do not think our floor was vacuumed once.
Review 36:The owner's friendliness and helpfulness. Proximity of town railway station and coast. Tasty and plentiful food with lots of choice for breakfast. The bed was very comfy.
Review 37:Nothing much it was a good place to stay
Review 38:Room overlooking sea was small but perfectly adequate. The property is in easy walk of town centre and the owners were friendly and helpful. Perfectly suited to my needs as I was doing a motorbike tour of Wales. Owners were refurbing the property to improve its standards.
Review 39:My wife felt that the carpet in our bedroom needed "a good seeing to". There was no guest lounge, but I suppose at the price and given that this is a fairly small guesthouse, this is to be expected (and ground floor rooms wouldn't have such a good view).
Review 40:The proprietors were very friendly and helpful, even providing glasses and opener for our (self-provided) wine. The sea view from our room's bay window was excellent. The room itself was a bit cramped with a double and a 2-tier bunk bed, but in fairness we had been helpfully moved to a seaview room with a king-sized bed from a twin room with no sea view.
Review 41:Very helpful and friendly, they were more than happh to help me with any special request which made my stay very memorable and enjoyable. The location is excellent, 1 minute walk from the train staying and right next to the beach. Will definitely go back. Thank you
Review 42:Half closing day a lot of the cafe's were shut. Small choice of places to eat in the neighbourhood. We were only there one night.
Review 43:Good location on the promenade. Very friendly.
Review 44:I had booked a single ensuite room. It was tiny. (Ensuite facilities were of reasonable size.)
