The house was clean and also is close to the beach and mall
They said they don't want music we didn't like it
The property is located it perfect spot not too far from the Mall.Great security we felt very safe.
Everything was to my expectations so have nothing that i didn’t like
Its a very spacious 1 bedroom apartment. The rules are tight so if you looking for a quiet place then Hyde park is the place. Also alot of mirrors if you need to get ready for an event.
My remote for the gate wasn't working and Noone could help me till the next morning, which didnt matter because I was leaving.
Everything was great, property was clean and beautiful specially the staff was amazing
They didn’t allow hubbly even on the balcony
Excellent staff and apartment. Wish we had a longer stay.

Everything but mostly the location
The stairs to the room number because of the inconvenience it caused my son who was on crutches but the owner wasn’t aware of our predicament as we never informed them
The re receptionist was very very friendly and good at her job, exceptional.
Far better experience than we last had early August. No problems with noise levels.

The local of this property is top tier. Loved the views from the balcony.
The room was very clean and beautiful. We enjoyed our stay Security was friendly
We had a wonderful stay at Hyde Park Umhlanga with our family. The apartment was very clean, comfortable and well maintained, which made our stay relaxing and enjoyable. The location is excellent. It is conveniently close to the beach, restaurants, shopping malls and other attractions in Umhlanga, making it very easy to get around and enjoy everything the area has to offer. Being able to walk to many places was particularly convenient for our family. Overall, Hyde Park gave our family a comfortable, convenient and memorable stay. The combination of the excellent location, cleanliness, comfortable accommodation and friendly staff made it a great choice for our holiday. A big thank you to Gugu and the entire Hyde Park team. We would definitely consider staying here again and highly recommend Hyde Park to families visiting Umhlanga.
Vraiment un bel appartement, spacieux, complet, bien équipé avec une belle terrasse. L’accueil était aussi très agréable.

Everything and decor lovely. We will be back..
Unit 6 struggled to get hot water. More coffee sachets would be great and a couple of bottles of water.
Very nice and clean. Security personnel were extremely welcoming 🙏. Thanks, Dr Malixole Mahlathi
The bathroom floor shouldn't be at same level as the shower floor. Water spills easily to the melamine tiles.
I have stayed at Hyde Park many times in the past. The recent renovations have improved ones stay
Many residents did not abide by the house rules. Had to report noise levels emaniting from unit (5) to the Guard on the first night and then there was a child staying in the unit (10) above us who ran up and down the lounge/dining area for most of the night on the second night. Would suggest that residents who do not abide by the house rules should be fined.
They complained about laughter without music/tv sound after 21h00 .
The location was great, I was aware there wasn't a great sea view but the beach was very accessible. I liked the interior design of the space, was very neat as well as modern. For a short stay, it was great
The stove needs an upgrade, I wasn't planning on cooking as it was a short visit but if i needed to, i wouldnt have wanted to use the stove. The Couch in the lounge is tiny, we were a family of 4 and it barely fitted 2 comfortably, I guess we were at the unit often so it wasnt a major setback but if we were, then it would be
Beautiful views from the balcony, very neat and beautiful apartment with easy access to the beach

Excellent value for money and service; very close to the main Umhlanga area and the apartments are very spacious and clean. The WiFi also worked perfectly.
The only downside is that the main road through Umhlanga is nearby, so you hear a lot of noise from racing cars at night. It does eventually quieten down though.
We loved everything about our vacation,the location is next to everything,shops,beach front and a less than a minute walk to the beach..what I loved most was to waking up to the sound of the ocean and the presence of the little mokeys.
Nothing...everything was exceptional
Everything was clean and the staff were very friendly.
The location was good for us as we didnt have own transport, it's closer to the shops and to the beach as well
I will be lying if I say there was something I didn't like
The rooms are so clean, the staff is very helpful. It is exactly like they say it is except it is more pretty in person.
Its a quiet place so you can’t host games night
All in order,
Could have got more kitchen utensils.
the parking space and one entrance for entering and exiting
Booking in staff n cleaners very friendly. Pool was great.
Just the night home security needs to be more respectable

Gugu the lady who helped with check in was awesome The walk on the promenade was exceptional The beds and shower was world class
The accommodation was close to the beach and oceans mall and other restaurants. It was also not very busy as there ain’t many people that side of Umhlanga.
The cleanest, area, staff friendliness and respectfulness. Overall the comfort and area

The place is very beautiful and convenient. It is very close to the beach. You walk a few meters and arrive at the beach. It is also close to the malls. You walk to Oceans Mall because it's just next door. The cleaning staff come every day to clean the apartment so it's always clean. I loved the peace and quiet of the place and it's also very safe. We really enjoyed our stay there and we are planning to come back and stay at Hyde Park again. My kids didn't want to go back to Joburg 😂😂.

Friendly staff, thanks Gugu, great location and clean nicely furnished flat.
No Aircon which was an uncomfortable with the humidity on the coast. Main bedroom fan also not working well.
Everything ,the service and the hospitality
No comment
the fan in the lounge is very noisy
Place was nice and clean. Just that we couldn't enjoy our music
Hi I was not happy because the sercuity and the receptionist kept telling us that we must lower da noise level. We came to enjoy ourself and fun. I read da T&C it said resting time is 9pm to 9am. How can we enjoy ourself without music. Even we were talking they said we are making noise.
Close to beach and walking distance to shops and restaurants.
Pool was nice
No clear view when sitting down on the balcony
What I liked about this property: *Location *interior design *Specious
*Apartment is extremely hot air condition is need * Security each and every moments once you start laughing just to complain about noice * They only tell you about R1000 deposit that you have to payment you completed your booking and they deducted the money.
