My stay was just for one night and it was great. But they turn off the WiFi in the morning and they didn’t tell me that when I was checking in.

I booked a sea-view room and had amazing views from the deck. The room was great - spacious and had everything I needed. Liked the hot chocolate sachet and bottled water finishing touches (that many SA hotels do not do). Blockout curtains were good too (although I wanted to wake up with the sun). Breakfast was mostly ok - it said baked good but there were none, though everything else was fine. The hotel was apparently near some restaurants but I did not venture out. Parking was tricky for me (but not for others) as I was the last to arrive and had to squeeze into the 4-car garage. I think anyone who arrived after me parked outside. Wifi worked ok. I read some negative reviews on sound and location - I agree that the rooms are not soundproof but it did not bother me as I was not trying to sleep during breakfast; and I was not expecting to walk around the area at night (it IS South Africa, after all). All said, a few niggles, but a good experience and I would stay here again if I had to stay in East London.

Staff friendly, rooms are spacious, however, needs a little TLC. Brekafast was very good

The facility cannot be rated above 2-star. The surroundings are dirty and unkempt. I had to go round trying to locate entrance, which turned out to be a small side door. Small reception area at corner, no foyer. A security guard, who was at least friendly, was also a receptionist. Though the room had seemingly been refurbished with wooden floor, it was dirty. The throw on the bed had oil and food stains. There was a nail polish stain on the floor. Worst was under the bed and on the wall in headboard area - It was as if these had not been swept for weeks. I couldn't even make coffee because the kettle had brown stains at bottom. When I requested a change of room I was told that was not possible because Hotel.com had booked me that room. I couldn't sleep another night and decided to book day-2 in a far better establishment - a 4-star along the esplanade - at less than what I had paid at The Paralian. I'm glad I moved even though I had booked and paid for 2 days. I even took pictures of these things as evidence so I'm not just moaning.
