I had mixed feelings about my stay. While the location was quite decent, the overall experience left much to be desired due to the room quality and service issues. The friendly staff were a highlight, but the lack of attention to detail dimmed my stay significantly.

My room had an overwhelming detergent smell, which was pretty off-putting. It felt cramped and didn't have the best decor. I noticed some light fittings were taped up, which didn't give me a great impression of the upkeep.
Service
5.0
The service was somewhat laid back, which made it hard to get responses, especially during breakfast. I felt like I had to wait a bit too long to get help, and that was frustrating.

The hotel's location had its perks, but it felt uninviting. The area seemed safe enough, yet it could really use some tidying up to enhance its appeal. There are nice spots nearby, like Tasha's and Beluga.
Dining

Breakfast was quite bland, and I felt there was a lack of communication regarding menu options. I was hoping for something more exciting, but it just fell flat for me.

The facilities need some serious attention. The gym was a safety hazard – honestly, I would get a better workout in my room. I was hoping for more than just a couple of loungers.

My stay at The Square Boutique Hotel was a mix of highs and lows. I appreciated the cleanliness of my room and the helpful staff, but I was disappointed with the overall experience. The restaurant felt deserted, and I faced issues with laundry service, which really impacted my enjoyment. 🏨😕

I found the restaurant and bar staff to be friendly and super helpful, but the follow-through on reservations and laundry requests left a lot to be desired.

The hotel is in a bit of an isolated spot, but it's close to Gateway Mall and Umhlanga Beach, which was a plus for my stay.

The breakfast buffet had some variety but was more miss than hit, with runny eggs and cold dishes that didn't meet expectations.

While the pool area was nice for a night swim, the overall facilities seemed in need of some TLC, and some items like drinks were poorly managed.

My stay had its ups and downs. The location is nice and quiet, but I was disappointed by several aspects of the hotel. The room was decent, yet there were ongoing issues like lights not working and water running through the plumbing. Dining was especially frustrating with poor food quality and lack of communication.

Rooms

The room itself was fine, but I faced issues with the lighting that took far too long to resolve. I moved rooms because of malfunctioning amenities and noise from the car park.
Service

While the reception was very helpful, particularly a staff member who changed my room efficiently, the overall experience was marred by service delays.

Dining was a disappointment. The breakfast options were limited and not well-prepared, with hard bacon and poorly cooked eggs. There was little communication about what was available.

Facilities like the spa were not operating, and basic amenities failed to meet expectations. Communication about what was available was lacking.

My stay at The Square Boutique Hotel was a mixed bag. while the room was clean and cozy, I found the service and maintenance lacking. The location was fantastic near La Lucia beach and Gateway mall, but several issues with dining and room facilities left me disappointed.

Rooms

The rooms were immaculate and extremely well looked after. cozy and comfortable, though one room had musty air which required the air conditioning to clear it out.

My stay at The Square Boutique Hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location was lovely and quite peaceful at night, perfect for a restful sleep. However, the service left something to be desired, particularly at check-out, which felt overly slow and cumbersome. While the room was comfortable, it could definitely use some maintenance and attention to detail.

Rooms

The room was a good size and very comfy, but it had a broken light fixture hanging out and no view, which was disappointing. Some aspects definitely need a refresh.

The hotel is in a beautiful and quiet area of Umhlanga, not far from Gateway Mall and coffee shops. This was definitely the best part of my stay.
Dining

I enjoyed the dining experience, especially the lamb sausages at breakfast, which were a pleasant surprise since I don't eat beef or pork. But there was a lack of communication regarding the breakfast orders.
Facilities

The overall facilities need attention. Things like the gym being out of order and the condition of the pool were disappointing, and the sauna and steam rooms looked uninviting.
