Good and nice people were working there and it felt more like a home than a hostel.

We had a great nights stay at the hostel. Mini-fridge and air conditioning (extra $5 for AC) in our room. Outdoor balcony. More than we could have asked. Staff was super friendly. Internet is a bit spotty, but not a big problem.

We were not impressed with the site. The staff was not very helpful, and it was not so comfortable on the ground. The hostel was quite far away from the airport and the center of Accra. The place was fairly clean. It was possible to order food, which tasted fine.

This was my second time at Crystal, but I have been in Ghana about 8 times. You won't find a better place anywhere in Accra for that price. If you are looking for an authentic Accra / Ghana, than this is the place to stay. The owners are very kind and helpfull. Other visitors there stay for short as well as long terms, but it's a good place to meet other travellers and exchange your experience anyway. Whenever I'm in Accra again, I will definitly go there !!! Thanks for a very good time.

Owner Comment (Show)
Crystal Hostel is only 10km from the city centre. Hotels and hostels in the city centre are far more expensive and none can match our price, facilities we offer and the atmosphere in Crystal Hostel. It is far more easier to get to the city centre from our place than from anywhere else in the city. It is also much easier to connect to any part of Accra from our place.
