the hotel was good but watch out for the hotel restaurant which cheats its customers

It was clean but the shower is not convenient,water flow is not enough.

Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Very clean. Excellent location and beautiful plants. The electricity is a bit unpredictable and wi-fi a struggle.

The Crystal Hotel offers a convenient location, and the staff are notably friendly, contributing to a positive experience overall.

Too expensive for what it is. Rude and unhelpful staff. They treated me like they were doing me a favor. The wifi is non existent. Location is great. The rooms DO NOT HAVE A/C or a fan. During the day the room is ridiculously hot.

Good

The property staff and space was excellent. Helpful staff and very clean. It was so safe and many places to see by foot! Beautiful city and we were right at the core.

Great location in the heart of Asmara, walkingdistanceto almosteverythingtou want to see in the city. Definitely try to get a room with a front balcony overlooking the Customs Building across the street and the Embassy of Türkiye to the right (I had room 201). Wi-Fi is available (but expect a very slow connection). Included breakfast is good, made to order omelet with strong coffee and fresh juice. Hot water in the shower and bathroom, small mini-fridge, comfortable bed, very friendly English-speaking reception, make for a good mid-range budget option. I booked and prepaid on Expedia, making it hassle free once in Asmara, and saving my cash for the restaurants and bars in Asmara. Reception can change USD at the normal government rate 15 nakfa to 1 USD. I actually walked to and from the airport, and it takes about one hour. Don't miss Ghibabo Restaurant nearby for 15 nakfa Asmara beer and traditional food like kitfo (tasty pizzas, too). Recommended hotel!

Great location! Great service! Convenient to all sites.

Staff were really helpful and the hotel's in a great location. Only downside is that the room isn't well soundproofed, so noise from the corridor could be loud.

The best choice in Asmara. Great location in the center of town. Very good, friendly and attentive service. Very clean room and hence a very good stay. Given the financial and investment situation in Eritrea, it is unsurprising that the rooms are a little spartan but that is no criticism of the hotel. I would definitely return to the Crystal.

Clean & friendly. Arrived morning of 7th October with room confirmation from Expedia for 19 days. I was shocked to be told they did not know of this booking and that they had a room for only two days!! I was very disappointed about this state of affairs. Sadly wi fi was not working and could not tell Expedia of my status. On the second day of my stay I was told I could stay for the booked 19 days and they apologised for the imperfect info I was given day before!! So the first two days were hair raising not knowing what I could do about it.

Very happy with 2 week stay at crystal hotel. Service provided was excellent and the staff especially receptionists, waitresses and housekeepers were exceptionally friendly, approachable and always greeted us kindly. Hotel is in the perfect location, very close to Asmara city center. My family really enjoyed their stay at Crystal hotel this summer, July 2019 Rahwa

Perfectly adequate hotel for Asmara. Needed a hotel our first night and stayed at the Crystal. Relocated to another property for the rest of our stay, but Crystal was fine for one night.

There are no credit cards accepted anywhere in Eritrea. Hotel either takes US dollars, Euros or local currency. There is no elevator at this hotel. The restaurant is excellent with cheap prices. Shuttle service is excellent but is not cheap.

The staff is very nice and helpful. The location is great for walking.

Hotel is basic but has all you need. Walkable distant to many sites. Overpriced, but no more so than other hotels in Asmara. If we go again to the city we will stay in the same hotel.

I travelled to Asmara Dec/19/2018 with my two brothers and we staid in crystal hotel for two weeks and I cannot express my happiness enough about the hotel from the bell man Mr habte all the receptions helen, tsega to the owner Mr Daniel every one of them where pleasant and very nice people. the only thing I would like to mention is water was very slow in the bathroom I was having hard time taking a shower especially at night. I would recommend this hotel to everybody who is travelling to Asmara. Hope to see everybody again soon.

Nice hotel very near to the centre of town. 5 minutes from central strip and close to many attractions

I pre paid for dec 26 and when I got there they said I had to pay again
