Reviews for Premier Hotel King David

Review 1：Place looked a bit old. Lift very small and not easy to open and close especially if you have luggage. Was very noisy. Wifi seemed to be limited to a few megabytes. Could not connect with my tablet only with laptop and also kept getting web browser messages that the ssl certificate did not match the hotspot url. Parking looked like it could use a little face lift and could not be accessed directly through the hotel. This is a big problem when it's raining.

Review 2：Close to the sea. Staff was friendly. The double room was spacious.

Review 3：It was quite noisy at times - coming from the street

Review 4：Suited needs for the particular stay - didn't need to use any of the hotel's facilities, we just needed a bed at night!

Review 5：Lifts are way too small for four people with luggage (States four people maximum in the lift). Hardly enough space for two people even without luggage.

Review 6：Staff was friendly and helpful

Review 7：the lift is too small, furniture old, maintenance non-existent, phone was not working. Many things not in working order just neglect. No hot water. My wife refused to bath.

Review 8：Location and staff

Review 9：I nearly cancelled my booking with you guyz because of the comments on the internet. The way it is potrayed its like some dodgy hotel in a scary location.The room was very cold though but I requested a heater on a 3rd day and was provided immeadiately.

Review 10：The hotel is ok, staff extremely friendly and make u feel at home. Coming to a clean room everyday when i come back from sightseeing.

Review 11：It was not what we expected. the room was dirty. the bathroom facilities are old. The location was very scary. Not a good place to stay, especially with kids.

Review 12：Nothing

Review 13：No one bothered to explan any available facilities in the hotel on my arrival. Was not sure whether or not there was any free wifi, not offered breakfast. was also told I can only use the iron in teh ironing room dowmstairs and not in my room. Absolute rubbish service overall.

Review 14：quiteness was the only thing appealing about this hotel.

Review 15：Use free WiFi for about ten minutes and it was depleted. Struggled to get its password. Also struggled to get a porter to during checkout.

Review 16：Its quite close to both the beach and town

Review 17：I couldn't get access to WiFi. Access to parking one walks on the rain.

Review 18：The Hotel is properly situated, is a walking distance to all that one needs the sea and the Town. Rooms are warm and have all that is required for the stay.

Review 19：Power outage there are no emergency lights in the corridors and roomsyou walk in the dark .As a safety precaution one will get hurt thisneeds urgent attention indeed.aGAIN they must instal;l proper airconditioning as a fan literaly stirs the hot humid air in the room ,eastlondon is hot and humid so was sweating as if im in a sauna .

Review 20：Staff were very friendly and helpfull indeed.

Review 21：Concern about the area we we relieved that secure parking was available for a fee

Review 22：Staff bent over backwards to help, comfortable bed, spacious room, crisp linen

Review 23：The location of the parking... which you pay extra for... is around the corner so we had to walk with luggage. The hotel smell like cheap cologne. They wanted to charge full price for veg bfast. The shower leaked. The bed had stains. The room was tiny and loud noise of the building aircon next door. Just pretty rough all round.

Review 24：I liked that I only had to be there one night. And shame the staff were sweet enough. Maybe just not as trained as hotel staff I'm accustomed to.

Review 25：Complicated connecting to Internet and extremely limited per day..prefer unlimited Internet with easy one password connection

Review 26：Staff very helpful especially at front desk. The girls went out of their way to accommodate our needs

Review 27：Landline not working, could not dial for room service. No wifi connection. Just 2 little towels in the bath room.

Review 28：Cleanliness of the linen the room and staff efficiency and being friendly.

Review 29：There is another, almost identically named hotel right on the sea, but this is not the King David. Even the picture on this review is of this seaside hotel. very misleading.

Review 30：Super friendly staff, decent wifi

Review 31：There is a loading bay in front of the hotel but the doorman would not allow us to offload or park to check in there. We had to park up the street where the first thing that happened was that I was accosted by a drunk begging for money. The Buffet at R180 (which I could not charge to my room) was at best mediocre and all the food was cold. No flowers or any adornment on the ice cold restaurant tables. The bedrooms were dated but none the less nice. The bed was, however, shocking and my wife and I hardly slept for the springs pressing into us from the ancient mattress. For this reason I will not ever return to this hotel.

Review 32：The reception area has clearly been renovated and looks great. The reception staff were also very good.

Review 33：The parking area is dark and offsite the main building. The smell of the property was stale.

Review 93：The aircon was not working. You couldn't open the windows if you wanted to sleep at all as it was way too noisy.

Review 94：Nothing ... I didn't stay in the end and at 12pm looked for alternative accommodation.

Review 95：The rigmoral involved for, supper, wi-fi, parking, etc... would it notbe easier to have free wi-fi and advertise it, be able to bill anythinginternal to your room and pay for it all with one transaction instead ofme have to pay independantly. The bathroom in my room, had a lightresidue of mould growing on the walls and I fail to understand thatthere is not a smoking area.

Review 96：The staff compliment at the hotel was amazing, extremely curtious, fromthe reception staff to the restaurant staff as well as house keeping.

Review 97：The room was advertised as being airconditioned and having ahairdryer.There was a fan and no hairdryer. The surrounding place was unexpected,down the road from the beach but had an element of being unsafe withlots of hobos in the area. It was not what we had expected.

Review 98：Everything about the hotel was not up to standard according to the ratecharged!!! They credited my credit card for the 3rd night I did not stayand still nothing has reflected on my statement. I would like thatinvestigated please???

Review 99：Unfortunately I do all my business travel bookings online and the lastones I did have never been disapointing. I was shocked with thelocation, condition of hotel and rooms had the most aweful smell. I onlystayed 2 of the 3 nights and found alternative accommodatin for the 3rd

Review 100：I reserved a standard double room that specified airconditioning and the room did not have it. One morning the bathroom in the deluxe room did not have water but just a little cold water. There is no room service. Water is dripping from the top of the window in the std room. Water is dripping from the wall in the lounge waiting area. The lifts are very small. Only two person fit or four if you like mouth to mouth. One lift has a trellidoor that you can put your hand through and probably loose it while traversing. For the price of the breakfast and dinner we could have eaten twice at a restaurant and the variaty was not enough otherwise the price would not have been an issue. Little fruit flies was over the food. The bar lounge aircon did not work. Drinks were very expensive. The neighbourhood is terrible and dangerous.

Review 101：The food was good. Rooms were nice and quite. The aircon was very cool. Deluxe room is very spacious. Porter service is good. Room cleaners was very good.

Review 102：No access to meals. When I made my booking it said there was no mealoption with the type of booking so I thought it meant I would not haveany choice but to get what the hotel was providing at any time, I neverthought it meant I would have to buy my own meals. It was verydissapointing to learn that on the day I checked in. I suggest you makeit clear that no meals will be provided period coz this "nooption" is not clear at all.

Review 103：Staff very friendly.

Review 104：Room without aircon. the Tv did not play well adn poor Dstv/Mnet connection. Hotel smells a bit dusty. Bathroom and toilet not adequite.

Review 105：Hospitality

Review 106：The aircon in our room was not working & it was one of the hottest daysin East London.

Review 107：The reception staff were very friendly, we were warmly greeted &welcomed when we arrived

Review 108：Beds bathroom shower 100 years old bath small bath rooms need to beupgrated top floor ceilings rattle and shake when wind is blowing

Review 109：The staff they go that extra mile to make your stay more enjoyable

Review 110：However, the location is not in a very save part of the city. It was also very noicy at night in the streets and surroundings.

Review 111：The hotel and staff was friendly and the room was comfortablle and clean. When we had a problem with our TV it was sorted out within 10 minutes and we received a follow-up call from the front desk to ensure that all was sorted out.

Review 112：The conferencing manager was not welcoming and you need people skills inthis portfolio I train in different hotels I am always feeling that I amtreated as a valued guest.

Review 113：The floor carpet in our room and bedding need some attention. You alsoneed to attend to repair the pothole at the parking entrance so thatcars are not dented underneath.

Review 115：No internet connection at all. Very difficult to plug your devices, onlyone plug. Safe locked on arrival.

Review 116：The staff was very friendly. Spacious room for an ok price.

Review 117：I was checking in on the 28/12/2011 and according to the checking intimes it is after 15h00. When I arrive in Pretoria on 03/01/2012 Ilooked at the invoice and find out that I was charged breakfast for thatday though I was checking in after 15h00.I Still ask myself as to why Iwas charged though I was not yet in to the Hotel on breakfast time.

Review 118：The friendliness of staff starting from the door securities throughreceptionists, people who are so welcoming. I would like to commendabout the old man who is a waiter at the restaurant, Mr Sam Tebeka whomI have found to be so amazingly friendly and excellent to his job, aperson who loves his job having a smile and helpful to clientsthroughout the service. I would like to say King David Hotel Staff "youare the best" Keep up the good work.

Review 119：Reception staff verbal skills very poor. Room service menu non existent. Staff very unfriendly (this can be due to language barriers though)
