This place really surprised me. The pictures do not do it justice. I stayed in a non-smoking room, not sure what smoking floors are like. Staff there are very helpful.

Really good value for money. 10 minute walk to the ferry terminal with loads of food options on its doorstep. Very clean and comfortable with toiletries provided.

The best hotel in Tawau. It was clean, felt new, affordable, and has an elevator. It’s across the street from the seafood court. Kam Ling is wonderful. Centrally located, and very convenient for shopping.

I was quite sick when I arrived. The desk told me where to find a health clinic and it was a positive experience. Also found me a breakfast place near the hotel. The local breakfast was not the best. The air conditioner was too floral for me and I mentioned it to the desk and they immediately changed the air filters. Good area for shopping for essentials. I enjoyed my stay and the people were warm and welcoming.

Hôtel neuf et confortable ... large baie vitrée... salle d'eau pratique... ascenseur... wifi très bon ... excellent restaurant : poissons frais juste en face ... cet hôtel est un très bon choix pour un bon prix. Vue sur mer possible. Par contre pas de petit déjeuner sauf un instantané standard offert que l'on peut faire bouillir dans la chambre. A recommander.

Given the price, city garden hotel provide good facilities which is clean and decent. The location is just opposite the famous seafood shop and the noodle shop who sell great fish head noodle in the morning. A good location where u can walk to the famous pasar tanjung tawau.

The exterior of hotel looks like any ordinary 2 stars hotels. Interior is totally different. The beds,bedsheets, pillows and towels are super soft, fluffy, clean and white. Toilet and bath area are clean with bright light. Ample supply of toiletries like big box of tissues,thick toilet rolls, toothbrushes, shampoo , bath gel and soaps etcs. On top of that, I like the sea facing view from the big glass window. Satalite channels provided, are the best in the whole of Tawau. Two thumbs up for City Garden Hotel.

Really great hotel- staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed for 4 nights and couldn't have asked for anything more. Excellent wifi. English speaking staff at reception. Great area with lots of shops and restaurants to explore. Would highly recommend if you seen in tawau for any length of time!

I was nervous about booking a week here due to some reviews. I had nothing to worry about. The staff was polite and attentive. The doormen are always there to open the door for you when you come or go. I booked a room with a queen bed and a city view. It was a bit small but it met my needs very well. Housekeeping came every day to clean and refill toiletries. The wifi worked great about 95% of the time. There were a few moments one day where the signal would drop in and out, but it was not a major problem. Pretty fast too, i could stream hd youtube content and make video calls on my phone without any problems. I only had breakfast here once, it was adequate and the food was cooked well, i just think they could have used more options. This place is in the middle of makati and traffic is very heavy most of the day. Its even busy until about 130 am. Overall, the hotel exceeded my expectations.

Overall, i give it 4 stars. I will definitely be returning due to the forced reservation, but i would have chosen to stay again without it. Good air conditioning after initial room change had to keep it on 23-25 or it was too cold. Hardwood floors, a nice rooftop pool, a great gym - better than any other 4/5 star in makati - can do bench, pullups, deadlift to 185 kg, spin bike, etc. Room service options are poor. Facilities a little worn, tv initially broken and needed replacement, needed room change for nonworking air conditioning in the first room. Gym has no air conditioning check in and out takes ridiculously long time for no good reason. The front desk clerk forced a last minute last minute booking at full rack rates while late to the airport just to store a single bag, when i had already stayed 7 nights. Also, i stored bags at old city garden before, and they didnt need them then. This was particularly annoying because we buy one way tickets and like to be flexible with our travel depending on where we are and how much we like it, but suddenly had to limit our travel and put a future date into stone thanks to this one front desk guy.
