Overall, my stay at The Square Boutique Hotel was mixed. While I found some aspects, like the friendly service and a well-equipped bathroom, to be impressive, I also encountered various issues, such as an uninviting atmosphere and cleanliness concerns.

Rooms

My room felt stuffy and had an overpowering detergent smell that gave me a headache. Despite the cozy layout and comfortable space, it was disappointing to experience a bad smoke odor. When I asked for a room change, I was told the hotel was fully booked.

Service

The staff were friendly and tried to be helpful, but they seemed a bit disconnected at times. For instance, the receptionist's suggestion to turn on the air conditioning to clear the air was a bit off.

I was disappointed with the breakfast buffet, as there was only scrambled eggs available and no one to assist. The food was cold and options limited, which was not what I expected.

Facilities

The hotel lacked sufficient lounge space, with only two loungers available for the entire hotel. It felt like there was a missed opportunity to enhance guest comfort in the common areas.

While I had a decent time at The Square Boutique Hotel, the overall experience was marred by some service issues. The location was convenient, especially with the airport shuttle, but the facilities could definitely use some improvements. I enjoyed the dining options and the food quality was good, but there were several hiccups that I hope they can address for future guests.

Rooms

The room was quite small, and the bathroom felt even tinier, making it a bit impractical to use. There was a strong detergent smell that was overwhelming, and I found myself having to request basic toiletries since none were provided.

Service

Service was disappointing. I experienced delays during check-in and check-out, and the staff didn’t seem very attentive at times. There were also issues with the shuttle service that were frustrating.

One of the highlights was the hotel's location, which was ideal for access to the airport shuttle and close to the Gateway shopping center. However, the area could use a bit of care to be more inviting.

Dining

I was pleasantly surprised by the dining options. The chefs really catered to my needs with lamb sausages since I don’t eat beef or pork. I appreciated the variety, and smoothies were a nice touch, making breakfast enjoyable despite a couple of service delays.

Facilities

The facilities were okay, though not all were in great condition. The gym was out of order, and the pool looked like it needed some attention. I thought there could have been better amenities overall, as it was quite uninviting.
