Located in one of the beautiful areas of Owerri. Nightlife is quite busy around this area and if that is what you are looking for, then great. The rooms are good and spacious. Their food is okay but time from ordering to delivery is a little bit long. The management may need to do something about this. The environment is beautiful and serene. They boast of a gym, pool, nite club, saloon etc.

Clean, simple and elegant. The staff are plesant and courteous. The elevator is fast. The rooms are clean. Room service could be slow at peak periods; also I have issues with their food. I think it's overpriced. Not to worry though, there is a restaurant 'The Manure' just a block away. They cook better food and you have better choices.

Although spacious, the rooms are somewhat outdated. The motel is conveniently located, however it needs to be significantly upgraded. About 40 cars can fit in the large parking area. It's a reasonable location and very affordable

This is a nice hotel located in New Owerri. For those who aren't conversant with Owerri, New Owerri is like the New Year of Imo State. It's always busy with fun activities and very modern. There are also many nightlife spots clustered around this environs. For the hotel, I love the spacious reception. There's an aquarium of interesting fishes I enjoyed watching. The elevator works and the staffs are cheerful. Even though they're not the best in hotel management, they're trying. For starters, there wasn't a remote for AC & TV in my room. When I checked in, there wasn't a towel too in the room. But they're fixed that very quickly. The internet connection is great. I got two access codes (one for laptop, and one for my phone) when I requested for WiFi access (some hotels only give one). The room size is quite big with not-so-modern furnitures and fixtures. I got the double deluxe room and even though I was impressed with the space, I didn't like out-of-style furnishings. Rest room and shower was great. Outside, the environment is also very good for photos. The active fountain is one beautiful piece of architecture you'll not miss, especially at night when it glows. There's also an active security post at the entrance with good car parking security. You'll mostly enjoy your stay here.

What truly sets me at the Villa Garden Hotel apart, however, is its exceptional service. The friendly and attentive staff go above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels valued and cared for.
