What guests think

At City Garden Grand Hotel, travellers consistently praise the friendly, attentive staff, central Makati location, and the popular rooftop bar, pool and views, while noting spacious rooms and good value for a comfortable stay.

Cleanliness is frequently highlighted, though a few reviews mention musty smells or occasional pests. A recurring drawback is the very slow, crowded elevators, with peak-time waits; some guests also report corridor or street noise, and occasional check-in or breakfast-inclusion issues. The immediate area is lively and convenient for dining and nightlife but can feel seedy or hectic to some. Expect friendly service and solid comfort in a bustling setting.

Facilities

Rooftop bar/restaurant with city views is a standout, and guests like the pool, gym and on-site spa/massage. The main drawback is facilities flow: the three elevators are very slow and the pool and lifts can get crowded; parking is tight.

Good hotel in many ways. Nice staff, a good room, breakfast with a large selection, good fitness center. Not enough elevator capacity. Only three slowly going elevators in a building with 32 floors is not enough. Lot of waiting time.

The swimming pool is small, and the restaurant being open to outsiders makes the area very busy and not enjoyable. I give a star for the housekeeping team and the front door staff. Minus stars for the front desk lady who acted as if I had stolen the weighing scale! I didn’t want to bother anyone to pick it up, so I went downstairs to return it myself. At checkout, she kept asking if I was sure I had returned it.. It’s not my fault that their communication sucks, and it’s offensive to talk to me as if I’m a thief!

The hotel has potential but a few major downsides. With only three elevators serving 32 floors, getting up or down was often a nightmare—long waits, cramped rides, and crowds made worse by the rooftop restaurant that also draws non-guests. My room had a very hard bed and almost no natural light due to a tiny window with no view. Check-in was chaotic; even arriving at 3 a.m., I had to wait for a clean room. The location is convenient for food, shops, and transport, but it’s in a very crowded area with a red-light-district feel and lots of street activity, which might not suit everyone. Also, stairs at the entrance make access tough for anyone with mobility issues. On the positive side, the staff were friendly and breakfast was decent.

I have enjoyed staying at this property for several years now. I have always given this property high marks in service, convenience, location, and staff/personnel. The only issues I encountered during this stay are the shower (water temp) and wake up call. The water kept going from warm to cold to hot and back to warm. I addressed this with the hotel management and hopefully they will be able to resolve the problem before I return in November of 2025. The other problem is the front desk staff failure to put into their system a wake up call. This only happened twice, the last one being the day I was checking out. I went to the front desk the night before checking out and ask for a wake up call and it never occurred. Lucky, I have set my own alarm clock as back up, however, I shouldn't really have to. It would have been a mess if I have missed my flight. Maybe this is a staff issue or training issue but hopefully, they will get it together. Other than that, I really like this hotel and is looking forward to staying here again in 2025.

I was treated like a celebrity! Elijah was newly promoted from bell desk to clerk and I was his first-ever check-in. He remembered me from previous stays and offered me a wonderful upgrade room. Erika was my 22nd floor housekeeper extraordinaire: she made sure I was stocked with extra towels, toiletries, and water AND made a masterful towel animal design which she left on my bed every day. I ended up with a wonderful menagerie of swans, elephant, scorpion, monkey, hearts-all done with towels. Aina the team lead also remembered me and was a delight. Liam the bellman, Patrick and Trish at the front desk were great also. Also Darius and Dee. Jun, the Spice restaurant manager made sure they were stocked with Coca Cola for me. Hotel security and all the staff greeted me by name! And didn't need prompting by looking up my name on the computer. The BEST personalized customer service. Heads and shoulders above branded international hotels for service. I highly recommend the GRAND!

The City Garden Grand Hotel met and exceeded our expectations. The service provided was excellent. Staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Everyone was so friendly and attentive. The quality and range of options for breakfast items must be commended. We really liked the amenities: hot tub, swimming pool, comfortable cotton bathrobes, goose-feather pillows, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs (channels unfortunately intermittent sometimes), mini fridge and microwave and even high-end soap and other bath items dispensers.

Hotel was very clean and we had a pleasant stay as it’s near lots of dining options. We however had a frustrating experience at checkin. We arrive right on 2pm, check in time and got the key to one room after about 10 minutes of the front desk typing away on the computer. After about another 10 minutes we were told to have a seat. After about another 10 minutes we asked if there was a problem and were told they were still waiting for the room to be cleaned. Meanwhile everyone else was checking in and going off to their room. After 40-45 minutes wait all up, we got the key to our 2nd room.surely there was a room ready somewhere in the big hotel. After a day of travelling with the kids, this was not a great first experience of this hotel. They offered us late checkout, however we were leaving early for a flight so was no benefit to us. Hopefully others have a quicker check in. Apart from this it was a great hotel and if we are ever to spend another night in Manila, we would stay here again.
