Premier Hotel East London ICC

"Breakfast was great! The staff were generally kind and most responsive when we made the trip to speak to them personally. We had a number of issues that required attention - doors that wouldn't lock, TV that didn't work, someone entering our room because it had been assigned twice. We enjoyed time by the pool and asked for drinks but did not get a response until once again flagged down the staff. Overall decent place with service that requires in person requests and follow up."
