Offering city views, all rooms at City Garden Grand Hotel are air-conditioned, and feature a cable LED TV and coffee/tea making facilities. Complete with a bath or shower, the private en suite bathrooms also offer a hairdryer and bathrobes.

I couldn't recommend City Garden Grand Hotel enough! We had 2 different bookings due to cancelled flights etc, they made sure we were able to stay in the same room our whole stay even through we had booked different room types. The staff were amazing! One in our group got food poisoning, they were so helpful throughout the night, then helped us get to the hospital in the hotel van, picked us after and gave us their numbers to stay in contact with. They even made sure our room was the first housekeeping got to so we could return from the hospital to a freshly made up room. A special thanks to Rex, Lester and everyone else who helped out (sorry cant remember all the names).

    The location is brilliant and the staff are so friendly and helpful. It was not luxury, but I did not expect 5 star luxury because it is a budget hotel, but it had aircon and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel also had a roof top bar with a DJ. It is very good value for money, will definitely stay there again.

    The location - it is in prime real estate, close to basic and fancy dining options alike, the groceries, and it is easy for Grab drivers and riders to find it. It is a short ride away from St. Lukes Medical Centre - BGC. The foyer smells of Chanel Mademoiselle Eau de Perfume. The interior design of the unit is well curated, it is not huge but the zones inside it implicitly states what each square meter can be used for. The owner is lovely, who provided well-thought out response to all my Enquiries within hours.
