Find hotels in Chinese Garden

"I am an American who lives a pretty good life in the Philippines, used to nice hotels and great food. I read many reviews about the Bayview Park Hotel, many of which were negative left by foreigners. I am going to attempt to set the record straight from a foreigners perspective. 1. If you are thinking that the Bayview is a 5 star hotel, expecting a 5 star experience, then you are going to be severely disappointed. 2. If you are expecting a very nice hotel for $50 a night with everything you need, then you will be very happy. Lies and Rumors: 1. #706 on the Superior Room Rate without Breakfast. 2. The Staff are wonderful. The people who said that they were rude must not have grumpy because they were extremely nice to us and everyone else. 3. The Hotel does NOT smell, it smell just fine. 4. The rooms are NOT small, they are very large. 5. The bed was a little hard but not too hard. Nice bed. 6. Additional comforters and pillow are available on request for free. 7. The rooms are older but newly updated. They have a fridge, a nice bed, newly painted walls, a really nice bathroom and everything you can want. 8. The AIRCON / Air works GREAT. We had to turn it down because it was so powerful. 9. The location is perfect. We were going to the embassy which is literally steps away from the hotel, but it is also central to everything. 10. Starbucks is in the same building. 11. Chowking, 7/11 and Yellow Cab are about 75 steps away 12. WIFI is available in more expensive rooms but ours was turned on for free. Typically 350 per day. 13. Breakfast was not included in our room because we got the $60 after taxes rate but typically 450 per person in the morning. It seems like a bit steep for the selection so I would NOT get the breakfast package. "

"City Garden Hotel is a great little hotel. The rooms are nice and clean, the showers are great with lots of pressure and hot water. The staff at the desk are fast, polite and friendly. Security is great and the bell boy Mr. Dindo is outstanding, he will gladly help you with your luggage, your rooms, with directions or any needs you might have with a smile. The restaurant is outstanding and the breakfast buffet is the best with great food and service. Five Star service at a Three Star price ... A+ "

"I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was always kept clean by the staff. The bed was comfortable and clean. I did check for bed bugs as one should while traveling and saw no signs of them. There is a resaurant Emerald Garden around the corner where my partner and I ate lunch at every day. There are door personal that will greet you no matter the time of day, and the desk staff were always helpful. Free wifi and cable TV that does have some english speaking channels if you do not speak tagalong. One evening our air conditioner died and we had a new room within 20 minutes. There is also a restaurant connected to the hotel and the food was decent. Uber is not in Manila, but you can download an app called Grab for calling a taxi. It will give you the driver name, car make, and plate number, and cost. It is very reliable for catching a ride anywhere.. If you are looking for a great deal on a room, this is the place for you."

"The hotel is ok clean comfortable good location , the bar staff and waiters are excellent !!!!! There are no city view rooms so don’t waste ur money get a regular room , I was upset about that I paid for a city view room and come to find out there are no city view rooms , the cable tv don’t have many channels, for the price your paying , I recommend the hotel , just get a regular room , , I would stay here again , but I think the city garden hotel is much better it’s only down the block !!!

"Main advantage of the hotel is that it's new with modern design, hence everything works and is clean. I'm not quite sure how will the design suitable for homes sustain in place like this hotel for few years (e.g. shower door leading to the room when sealing around the glass doors wears off or elevated sink with tight spaces around). Yellow and green colors are annoying and look cheap, but it's part of branding so not much to be said. Overall pleasant stay in the hotel, but no breakfast option. Hotel beds are comfortable, tv works. Not much storage space for clothing in the room, but in-room safe is definitely a plus. Separate toilet with sink and shower (but be prepared, that hotel gives you only one soap bar to share in both). Another unpleasant surprise is that hotel charges for storage of luggage after check-out. They have on-site laundry and massage services, which are quite overprices compared to options just few steps outside of hotel door."

"this is the best hotel I have stayed in Manila. And I have been coming here for 10 years. Outstanding across the board. Rooms are comfortable, best mattresses in the city. Good value. Great location. This thing that sets this hotel apart: the staff. They will not let you open a door, they help you with absolutely everything. And I needed it. I was coming up with ridiculous requests: Can I borrow a tape measure? Do you know a reliable mechanic who can assist me for a day? Can I store a generator here? Will you receive a projector screen while I'm out? And they complied with a smile and went beyond what I asked. BTW, that mechanic was a life-saver. He's coming in an hour to help me deliver the jeep to the pier. Congratulations to the management of this hotel for running a perfect operation. "
