Guest Reviews
- du Preez (7/5): Would have been memorable if they wanted to go the extra mile... - Went there beforehand and asked the staff to do something special for a honeymoon night and they refused. Stating they stopped doing it as 'roses are hard to come by'. I could literally walk across the road and buy a bunch... Anyway. Did same at a Blouberg Hotel a while ago, and at no extra cost there were petals in the room, chocolates, bubbly and treats.
- Romelia (8/5): Great stay and I will be back. - The environment. The hotel is situated in a lovely place. The hotel is quite run down. It needs better maintenance
- Calpat Vijay (9/5): - Good location and very comfortable The restaurant menu was very poor
- Babalwa (10/5): - Everything
- Marc (8/5): - The room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast and dinner were good. It was great being right on the marina. Parking was plentiful and convenient. We appreciated being able to take advantage of the Scuba intro deal. We were right on the pool deck and it was noisy in the evenings - loud music was being played even when no one was there.
Very minor: there was a couple of bad smells that we briefly experienced in our room and the safe was broken. The "cocktail lounge" only serves premix.

- Excellence (10/5): My stay was superb👌 - The spacious rooms, the views, great breakfast and professional staff😊 Location, a bit far from most things
- Silimeni (10/5): -
- Wright (10/5): - Lace curtains to be clean. More on the room serve menu
- Jodi-Ann (1/5): - Nothing I response from booking.com about my cancellation
- Drikie (6/5): Lovely hotel in Gordon's Bay waterfront - Beautiful facilities in waterfront environment. Lovely decor. The staff was very unfriendly from check-in to checkout. At breakfast we were once again met by a host of unfriendly waiters and assistants at the breakfast buffet. I would suggest you give them training in hospitality and customer service.
- Mahlatse (8/5): Beautiful place - The breakfast,room service and the stuff were exceptional they even gave me a slice of cheese cake on my birthday☺️ The beds are definitely not comfortable.
- Johan (10/5): - Everything
- Katlego (9/5): - On the ground floor there’s a sewage smell which took me off but everything else was fine
- Christine (10/5): Perfect! - Location
Clean
Staff

- Danie (8/5): -
- Thembelani Elvis (6/5): - The view of the room and safety of the vehicles The shower is wetting the entire bathroom and it's drain was partially blocked
- Ashton (8/5): -
- Namhla (10/5): -
- Eva (7/5): -
- Richard (9/5): - Big room, it is a happening place Nothing
- judy (8/5): -
- Charl (9/5): -
- Conny (7/5): - Location is great. The porter and spa staff are very friendly. Both our basins had big cracks in them. Hotel needs TLC. Only one lift worked and super slow 😂 so we only used the stairs.
- Nicolé (10/5): -
- Bronwen (7/5): Not good for special occasions - It was clean and we really enjoyed the buffet breakfast with live piano player. We really wanted a romantic night to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary and asked for the best room available. However the room was very plain, the bed and pillows very uncomfortable and the TVs very old and crackly. We also wanted to order room service but there was very limited options forcing us to go downstairs to eat in the dining hall. We asked if there was anything that the hotel could offer to make the room special eg: rose petals or wine. They said the only thing they could offer was a bottle of champagne for an extra R400! When I asked if I could put some balloons in the room I was told they would do it but if anything happened to them its not their responsibility. Overall we just felt the staff couldn't care less about making our experience special. We wouldn't come back or recommend the hotel to anyone for a special occasion.
- Corrie (10/5): Beautifull - All was great Nothing
- Erica Redelinghuys (10/5): - Everything was perfect 👌
- MonBook68 (7/5): Great stay, on the beach - The staff were helpful and friendly, the views are good, buffet breakfast is great, normal menu is bit pricey, but the hotel has an art gallery great gym, pool outside and undercover parking which is great. We booked a seaview room but when we got there it was facing to houses not beach, they say you have to call to confirm. But on the second day we moved to a twin room with seawview which was fab! There where very naoisy guests letting their kods run acreaming down the halls.
- Abderoef (10/5): -
- Schrickker (9/5): We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back - The room was clean and the staff very friendly. The breakfast exceeded our expectation. The seating arrangements for a couple. Most seating arrangements were for 4 or more people. The underground parking is not well lit and seems unsafe.
- Kim (10/5): - We loved the room. Nice and spacious. Beautiful artwork all around the hotel and room.
Huge variety of breakfast. The underground parking space needs to be more well lit up. While there is a security guard, it is still quite dark and feels a little u safe.
- Riedwaan Anderson (9/5): Cool spot - Set up was different with mountain and sea views. The staff was warm and friendly. Had a pleasant time. Breakfast was very good. Locals have access by freely walking pass the hotel to go to the jetty to fish. Did not give the hotel a decent appearance.
- Tracy (9/5): Perfect for my needs. - Convenient for my schedule Pigeon in the dining area
- Francois (10/5): -
- Nyami (10/5): - The room spacious and clean, delicious food. Nothing
- Garth (9/5): -
- Terence (9/5): Bitter, Sweets - Loved a beautiful, cozy room and amenties The reception lady on checking, unfriendly and uncommondating. Pitty I didn't get her name
The Barman too that evening was rude when asked to buy water for our room, we just got we Closed.
However another receptionist was lovely on our check out.
- nomsa (3/5): - The cleaners dont clean properly they act like they are doing you a favour.
- Genevieve (7/5): -
- Elna (9/5): Exceptional - Excellent breakfast and stunning location. The paintings and artwork add a special flair of style and uniqueness Remove the carpet in the room. It looks dirty and unhygienic.
The shower water pressure is great, but the wash basin taps are pushing the water saving pressure. Can hardly rinse your toothbrush
- Jongwe (10/5): -
- Moshe (10/5): -
- Dorothea (9/5): -
- Bulelwa (8/5): -
- Lauren (9/5): Wonderful Stay with Great Amenities - The breakfast buffet was excellent, offering a wide variety of options to suit different tastes. We especially appreciated that everything was accessible, allowing us full use of all the facilities. The layout was easy to navigate, and clear signage made it simple to find exactly what we were looking for. Overall, a very enjoyable and convenient stay. Unfortunately, we experienced issues with the drainage. In the downstairs bathroom, the water would not drain properly at all, and in the upstairs bathroom, it took the entire night for the water to empty. This was quite inconvenient and needs attention.
- Pauline (10/5): Luxurious - Wow wow 👌!! The breakfast was Super . The rooms was neat and tidy . The bedding The view was amazing . I will definitely book again . This is classy and Luxurious...Five 🌟 🤩 ⭐️ 🌠 💫 🌃 🌟 YOU DONT NEED TO GO ANY WHERE ..Everything is there .. The art is sooo beautiful !! NOTHING ... REALLY NOTHING

- Casper (7/5): -
- rfried789625 (10/5): Best Hotel - Staying at the Krystal Beach Hotel is always a treat. The position is superb, rooms spacious and well kept and the staff are so helpful. Plenty FREE parking undercover is an added value. Always wonderful staying there.

- Cloete (9/5): - Accessibility made it easy to navigate through the hotel. I loved the art gallery and friendly staff. My room (305) had a toilet situated too close to the basin was a bit uncomfortable.
- shameem2026 (10/5): KrystalBeach Hotel Midweek - We had a beautiful stay. Love the hotel, the ambience , staff are present .
Loved the attention for Muslim patrons
- Nesh (8/5): - Cleanliness Lift was noisy
- Ricky (10/5): -
- Louis (10/5): Lovely stay and conveniently close to the wedding we attended. - Krystal Beach was a lovely surprise. Amazing view from the room and balcony. Elegantly furnished room with everything you need for a weekend or vacation. Safe parking. Very good breakfast. Our room was very clean but the rest of the hotel felt like it needed someone's constant eye and more attention to detail. The stream of day visitors to the restaurant might be part of the problem.
- Carlo (8/5): -
- Piet (10/5): Super Super! - One of my best break aways, everything was excellent!
- Lakay (9/5): -
- Kassiem (9/5): -
- ZAYIM (1/5): I STILL NEED MY INVOICE WHAT A BAD ADMINISTRATION!!!!!!!!!!!!! - I stayed at this hotel during a business trip.
At check-in the reception took a photocopy of my business card, which clearly includes my company name and tax number, because I requested a company invoice.
At check-out they could not find the copy and took another photocopy again. I was told that the invoice would be prepared and sent by email.
After returning home I sent two follow-up emails, but I have still received no response.
For business travellers this is unacceptable. I provided the information twice and still could not receive a simple invoice.
Very disappointing administrative service.
- rkippi335403 (10/5): R Kippie - I especially loved the Halaal section. A huge variety and the view from the room were absolutely stunning. I will certainly go back.
- laylaismail05 (10/5): Krystal Beach Hotel - Our stay at the hotel was amazing, from the check in to the beautiful rooms and the excellent service. we relaxed and took it easy just what we needed.
- sharonbotha581001 (6/5): Over priced slightly - Basement parking had a terrible smell
Scrambled eggs were cold and almond crossant was not fresh , variety of breads excellent
- Lynette (10/5): -
- Du Plessis (8/5): -
- Monique (8/5): - We booked 2 rooms...unit 325 was amazing....the duplex. Clean,spacious and just wonderful. Amazing views. The second unit 328 was not the greatest, the windows were broken and there were cochroaches running around later in the night. But I have stayed a few times and this is the only time we have anything negative to say.
- John (7/5): - Beautiful views and hotel I got allocated the wrong type of room and the parking lot extremely hot
- Morelda (10/5): You can do Better - We paid R2079 for a room for one night, that was so noisy because it was right next to the aircon room, the place was very humid and there was a stinky smell coming from either outside or swerage pypes. The room was very basic no English tea only rooiboos tea, I've been at Krystal beach before and got very very nice rooms for less then R2079 so overall I don't think it was worth the money we paid. However the staff was brilliant the lady at reception was kind, we also forgot out toothpaste we phoned ext 9 and in less then 5min there was a friendly man who brought us a small tube of paste to atleast brush our teeth. The breakfast is always lovely and the live music was unexpected but so welcoming. I didn't like the fact that the advert said Seaview but in actual fact the view was around the corner on the balcony which we could enjoy. The view was on the roof of other flats and houses from my door.
The stinky smells was not pleasant at all also the room was very noisy I didn't sleep well at all. The milk in the room is not nice for a luxurious place like Krystal beach Hotel.
- Petro (8/5): - The Location was perfect for my wedding guests
- Corne (10/5): -
- Andriantsilavo (8/5): -
- Sarah (9/5): Wonderful place, perfect for a family. - Fantastic family room with 2 floors, 2 double beds and 2 bathrooms - so plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 kids. Brilliant location by the quay and beach with plenty of choice for eating out within walking distance. Safe, special place. Smelly drains was the only tiny negative.
