We had been to the Tavern Hotel previously in October of 2005. I've recently read a bad review from someone complaining that the staff just didn't care. Frankly it wasn't what I remembered and seemed to be out of character for Filipinos from the Visayas and Northern Mindanao areas. I remembered it as a good, clean and earnest little wooden... More

My fondest memory of staying in Hotel Tavern was buying one whole pizza next door (Calda's, if you must know. Excellent stuff), and eating it by myself on my bed while watching movies. I look forward to a visit in Tavern everytime I'm in Surigao City. They have such attentive front desk officers (one of whom speaks fluent Japanese!), and... More

My favorite hotel in surigao, though its expensive, but the service and location make your stay worthwhile. The hotel is located near the sea so you can choose rooms with sea side view. Better try the suite sea view with balcony if you want to relax while enjoying the sea. Breakfast is also superb, eat all you want with their... More

we stayed in this hotel for 3 days, it is a clean and a beautiful place to stay.The staff is friendly to foreigners, but not to their wives. When my husband came out of the room, the house keepers said good morning/afternoon/evening to him, but when I came out of the room they just stared as if they saw burning... More

We stayed in this hotel as our flight from cebu to siargao was cancelled, and we ended up needing to take the boat from surigoa. I made online reservations in the airport a few hours before we arrived at the hotel. We got to the hotel, and they couldn't find the reservation, but still had a room for us anyways.... More

I have now spent time at this hotel twice and found it to be a great place to stay,staff very friendly and helpful, i spent both visits in west wing with sea-view balcony and found it most enjoyable, I would recommend this hotel to anyone and don't understand why anyone would complain about the stay there.
