HOTELS IN MANILA: City Garden Suites Manila, “Elegant, Classy and Value for Money Accommodation in the Heart of Manila”

Hotels in Manila City Garden Suites

Manila, the capital city of the Philippines is one of the most highly urbanized cities in the country. Being a commercial and business hub, the city offers a wide array of hotels and accommodations to stay in for tourists and travelers whether on business or leisure trips. Depending on your needs, there are hotels, inns, lodges and hostels for you to choose from. Last January 2015, I was able to stay at one of mid-class hotels along Mabini St., City Garden Suites - Manila.

City Garden Suites - Manila is a 142-room hotel located along Mabini St., in Ermita, Manila. Its prime location is located just 5-minute walk to the world-renowned Manila Bay, the historic Rizal Park and other business, shopping and entertainment establishments. Because of its central location, food chains, restaurants, banks, shopping mall, supermarket, and other commercial and entertainment establishments are just a few meters away.

I honestly don't have very high expectations with City Garden Suites. I always see it whenever I am in the area and all I know is that it is one of those old mid-class hotels in Manila.

Upon entering the hotel, we were hospitably welcomed by the hotel staff and greeted us with a warm smile. I was quite impressed with how neat and well-designed the lobby is. It is very spacious, well-lit and has a lot of couches where guests could lounge while waiting to check-in.

We then proceeded to the front desk where we were assisted by the check-in staff. Since we already have a reservation, we just gave our names and were asked for identification cards and to fill out a registration form. It took a while before we got to check-in because of the number of guests also checking-in at that time. But it was fine; we just enjoyed our welcome drinks while waiting.

After about 15 minutes, we were given our room keys and ushered to our room by their very friendly and helpful staff.


One Bedroom Suite

Upon entering the room, I was impressed. The room smells fresh and clean. It is a one-bedroom suite located at the 3rd floor. It is very spacious and features modern and classy interiors with top-notch facilities and amenities that every guest will surely love.

I then proceeded to the bedroom which has an array of essential amenities that are needed for a comfortable stay. It has 1 double sized bed and 1 single bed. Both have comfortable mattresses that are soft and fluffy. It is joined to one side by a small bed table with a telephone and an alarm clock; it has fresh clean white sheets, huge fluffy pillows and comforters that perfectly compliment it. I tried it right away and I felt like I was melting into the bed as I lay my back on it. Very comfortable and relaxing!

As I sneaked into the toilet and bath, I was impressed. For me, it is very important to have a bathroom that is clean and well organized. City Garden Suites did not disappoint me, from the sink to the water closet, to the shower area with rain head shower and hot and cold water feature, they are all clean. Toiletries such as shampoo, bath gel, bath soap and dental care kits were also provided. The body and hand towels are soft, fluffy and all smell fresh! Everything we need are here! I couldn't ask for more!

The buffet breakfast is composed of different meat, fish, chicken and vegetables dishes to choose from. There's also a variety of pastries and fresh fruits for desserts. There's also an omelette section where you could request how your omelette should be done.

The dishes change everyday, so even if you're staying for more than 1 night (just like us), you won't get bored with their breakfast buffet because there's always something new to look forward to each day. The food were good and we were satisfied in every breakfast we had.

WIFI Internet Connection

WIFI internet connection is available anywhere in the hotel. Connection is fast, reliable and the best thing is - it's free! Unfortunately, sites that would stream videos are prohibited. You need to pay a little extra to access those sites. I guess that's the reason why internet connection is fast.
