Pay attention to the reviews on poor customer service. Its all true. They did not make up the sofa bed or did not provide pillows or duvet (something always missing) for my child despite requesting this every night. On one night their was no pillow despite me requesting it before we went out for dinner. when we returned at 10... More

This hotel was very good value and certainly better than the many other b+b type arrangements. I reckon I paid a little more but it was worth it for the very nice rooftop pool and gym area, and well appointed rooms with very nice bathroom, good selection of TV channels, free parking, free wifi and reasonably priced restaurant with a...

The food was substandard and there was lots of shuffling by staff members and loud chatting . Even after we had the do not disturb sign on we got disturbed twice for turn down service. If you on...

my first choice when in Durban, often in the company of business friends. Friendly, uncomplicated and accommodating. Pleasant, modern rooms, good facilities,only breakfast could include more fresh fruit. Otherwise perfect for me as a rushed, no-nonsense business traveller

I'm sceptical booking anywhere that calls itself boutique, so why I did on this occasion I don't know. That said, the hotel was adequate for our needs in itself and the staff were friendly enough - though they did manage to mess up my booking. It's not a good place to stay for a holiday as it's in the middle... More

Really? Who does this to their guests? Taking a nice dip in the pool was what I was looking forward to after a long drive. With no warning whatsoever, my son and I were not allowed entry to the pool area as there was a private function. Thanks three cities! You disappoint, again!

The Square is a really nice property. Its on Umhlanga Rocks drive so a little bit away from the Gateway Centre and beaches for Leisure travellers but literally 5 minutes drive, its on a lovely tree lined drive in a small quite complex. Ideal for Business Travellers, its quite but close to everything. I arrived early in the morning before... More

Nice hotel for a business trip or if you want to be close to the airport. Holiday destination if you want to be in Umhlanga.....NO. It is far from the beach, has no see views, situated in a Business Park, no restaurants in walking distance. An excellent restaurant in the hotel, food and value was brilliant.
