City Garden Grand Hotel

I had a wonderful stay at City Garden Hotel in Manila. The staff here truly make the experience special — they greet you warmly every time and are always happy to accommodate any needs. I especially appreciated the small details, like how they open doors as you approach, making you feel genuinely welcomed. One thoughtful feature I noticed: if you prefer your room cleaned at a later time, the staff kindly remind you to activate the “Please clean my room” button instead of disturbing you. It’s such a considerate touch! Now, the breakfast — hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. There’s an incredible variety of dishes to suit every taste, made with high-quality, even luxurious ingredients. The staff in the dining area are just as attentive and helpful as everywhere else in the hotel. Plus, enjoying breakfast on the 7th floor comes with a great view over the modern part of the city, adding to the experience. The rooftop swimming pool on the top floor is another highlight. The view from there over the Manila skyline is simply stunning — perfect for relaxing or snapping a few great photos. Would absolutely recommend this place for anyone visiting Manila!

I don't know if I have enough space for this. When I arrived on 24th Jan sadly my stay was short due to the fact I was informed my daughter was in serious condition in the province so I had to leave two hours after booking in. I did manage to spend some time in the Flybar where they played our song. Thank you to the band and Ryan. When I returned for two days Ryan was first to check on the well being of my daughter and me. That creates a family atmosphere. I have been coming to Manila for over 10 years now and never stayed in another hotel in Manila. When I stayed in hotels in the province I realise how treated I am in the Gardens. Thank you for support during this hard journey.

Our stay was pleasant and enjoyable overall, with some highlights and minor setbacks: Staff: Exceptionally helpful and accommodating, always checking if assistance was needed. Breakfast Buffet: Decent selection, sufficient for a satisfying breakfast. Firefly Roofdeck: The staff worked hard to accommodate both hotel and walk-in guests despite the peak season rush. Food variety was good, though on the pricier side. Pool Area: Beautiful views, but lacks privacy since it’s right beside the roof deck. Towels and robes are conveniently provided. Overall Verdict: Despite a few inconveniences, we were satisfied with our 2-night stay. The service and amenities were good enough for a relaxing New Year’s getaway.

The staff was very friendly and pleasant at all times, especially Jess, who gave us information on how to get around the area and always attended us with a smile, as well as the rest of the hotel staff who, without a doubt, make you feel at home. The room was clean, spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The terrace definitely offers a great view of the Makati area and the location is very good. The live music during dinner time adds a touch of magic to the moment, which is very worthwhile.

Restaurants around the area are 24/7 and street food around the area Easy to get to, locations such as MOA, Baclaran Service is great Room is a great size for a family of 3 with 9 suitcases Bed and pillows were great. Breakfast is amazing with great options for everyone.
