Traveling to Philippines? Find Tuguegarao City hotels

Excellent food and great facilities (pool was clean even though it is surrounded by large trees), and the room was also of a very large size (Matrimonial - best room type to get if you like larger rooms, others are a bit too 'cozy' for me). However, the resort is a 10 - 15 minute tricycle ride (there are NO taxis in Tuguegarao) away from the 'major' locations and even though they do offer a 'drop off' service, you have to abide by their schedule and depending where you want to go, may incur a small fee. Finding a tricycle may also be somewhat of an adventure due to locale. Room had been 'prepped' for our arrival and even though we did get there 1 hour early, the room's air-con was running and it was a nice relief to get out of the humidity. As stated in opening remark, food was excellent and also very, very reasonably priced, and for those 'Kano's' missing home, they do have 'bacon and eggs' (using REAL bacon). TL;DR - Excellent location, excellent food, excellent price.

Have been coming to Tuguegarao every 2 months for 2 years now and this is still the best option of a place to stay. Facilities and rooms are of a very good quality and the inhouse restaurant has also stepped up and is now of a very good quality (change of staff maybe?). If you need somewhere to stay that has friendly staff, good facilities and is central to everything, then you can't go past Mango Suites. It's rated as 2.5 stars, but that I believe is wrong as the other hotels (5 so far - the others looked to dingy/dirty so I didn't bother) I have stayed in (from 4 star down) are not anywhere as good as this establishment. I believe it deserves a 4 (3.5 at the least) star rating as it 'outclasses' the others that are available in this city.

For a solo traveler, Balai Carmela is a bit "far" from the city location-wise. Also traveling is a bit of a challenge because the place is a bit far from the high way. But if you ask politely, the staff will be kind enough to give you a ride to the "sakayan" area. That being said, the rooms are very clean and the staff are very nice. The location is very quiet, perfect for stay-cations.

They have two branches in Tuguegarao. One is along Maharlika Highway which is near the airport, though a bit far from the city center but near Feli-Cita's and the other is situated in the heart of Tuguegarao City, just in the middle of most establishments. The remarkable experience that satisfies our stay is that the owner is very friendly and kind. We arrived at the wrong branch due to misunderstanding (they have the wrong address stated in Agoda, and I missed to confirm my reservation when we arrived in Tuguegarao), but the owner is kind and humble enough to offer us the free transfer to the other branch. I was a bit frustrated at first because I felt that I have wasted my time going to that branch when she courteously offered me a more personal service, she'd be the one to drive us to the other branch (Thank you and apologies for the misunderstanding). She never argue with me, neither raise her voice nor sounded defensive of what happened and I appreciate that. They also provide free shuttle service to and from the airport so it is very convenient (This is good to avoid costly fee you might incur on tricycle trips from the airport). They also offer tricycle service to Callao cave for a fee. The locations of both branches are good depending on your priorities. So far, I have enjoyed my stay there and would definitely stay with them in case I visit the city again.

from the outside, hotel lorita looks rather small, and one may think that it’s not a comfortable place to stay in because of the traffic outside. but upon getting in, you will notice a change in the ambience –cozy, welcoming and the noise outside will not be heard. the pieces of furniture, mostly made of wood, are also in exceptional condition. for the rooms, the deluxe room where we stayed in is spacious and clean. the comfort room was just normal - clean and with hot & cold water - but does not have free toiletries (just two soaps). breakfast was also included in the package: various choices for the food but only coffee/tea for the drinks; you have to pay if you would prefer juice over coffee/tea. another plus for hotel lorita are the free wi-fi and the location. hotel lorita is located in the city center, making it accessible to guests. it is also situated near the sts. peter and paul basilica, an important place to visit in tuguegarao.

I was pleasantly surprised that a small city like Tuguegarao was able to offer a quality hotel like Pulsar. After a minor hiccup of being checked into the wrong room, my stay was enjoyable and staff were friendly and professional, rooms were nice, food was decent, everything you'd expect from a decent hotel. The rooms are big and spacious for the price. Noise insulation in the rooms could be better (where the noise travels through the door), and this is where I saw a slight shortcoming, but the large size of the room makes up for it, and it is better insulated than a typical budget hotel. Overall I'd stay here again and would recommend it to others.

Upon check in the hotel had different dates for our check-in. I had to provide Agoda print out to prove actual dates. Family helped carry our luggage to the room and were we tried to quickly freshen up after traveling for 20 hours. It wasn't but about two minutes, and we were told that only checked in guests were allowed and that the family would have to wait for us outside. Location was good for our needs, however location for public transportation was horrible. It would at times take 20 - 30 minutes to get a tricycle willing to give us a ride to Carig Sur without overcharging. The included breakfast was mediocre at best. Rice was hard, food was cold, and several rocks were found in rice. As for the swimming pool, family is not allowed, only paid guests. Lastly, upon checkout, staff tried to charge us for an extra day saying we were leaving a day early and also for juices we had at the included breakfast buffet. Again, I had to show the Agoda printout to rectify the checkout date. We took the free shuttle to the airport. The van was nice and also air conditioned. We have stayed at many hotels in the Tuguegarao area and can say without a doubt that there are better hotels.

Had to climb two long flights of stairs to get to the rooms. Definitely not for the elderly or the physically handicapped. No one even helped us lug our suitcases to the rooms. No help with the luggage upon check-out either. The rooms (I had two for our party) have bare walls and cheap inadequate furnishings. The towels looked like they were used to mop the floor. There is no sheet under the blanket and is inadequate against the airconditioning. There are no shower curtains so water splashes and floods the toilet floor making it dangerous, especially for the elderly, to get to the commode or the sink. As for its location, it is about four kilometers from the city center making it difficult to buy food and supplies. We moved to another hotel the following day but did not check-out early (we were booked for two nights) because they would not give a refund. This hotel is not worth the money even on a tight budget.

I regret not getting a room in this place during my previous stay in Tuguegarao. Booked a room about an hour prior to my arrival, so the slight confusion during check-in was understandable. Oscar, the owner, personally handled the situation and within five minutes, we were properly settled in our room. The place is remarkably clean and well-maintained, with the beds and baths being up to par with many two-star hotels. Banks, eating spots (Luna StrEat deserves a mention here), and shopping facilities are a very short walk away from here. You're definitely going to get more than what you pay for here. One important note though: If you're bringing a car, do note that there is limited parking available beside the hotel. If there are other guests with their own vehicles, it might be prudent to ask for alternative parking spots beforehand (especially since the hotel is in front of a one-way street).

Jury’s still out. First night on a five-night stay and already having minor issues. TV did not work because someone unplugged it from the hidden outlet. The water heater for the shower needed to be reset (quite an elaborate process for the uninitiated) so I ended up taking a cold shower. Breakfast service was uncoordinated and I had to beg their attention for about 30 minutes just to bring me coffee and my plate got cold during the wait. There are four floors and no elevator. Staff at desk and door are courteous and very helpful. The room and furnishings are aesthetically appealing, and it also smells good. House keeping did an excellent job. I think I’m beginning to enjoy my stay.
