Best hotels & accommodations in Butuan

I can say its the only good hotel in Butuan. New, modern facilities, clean, neat and has a very spacious room. A relaxing stay, no outside noise and distraction. I slept well on their comfortable bed. Very cool aircon. Areas to improve: only 2 pillows, if you request there's additional payment of 50 pesos each- well its finw though but it could have been better if they...

As a foreigner from a developed nation, I must remind myself I'm in a developing country. Thus, I must adjust my expectations and reviews of any hotel I stay in. This is a new hotel in a growing city in the province. It is very nicely decorated, even by Western standards. The lobby is first class. It has a large, well-maintained pool. I'm in a King standard room that i...

I was looking for an overnight hotel in Butuan as my flight is very early in the morning. And I found this little gem great location walking distance to everything and the location is inside a residential area so not busy/noisy but near to everything especially the 7/11,robinsons,food places. And Berna the frontdesk was very very helpful to me from check in to giving r...

Surprisingly, the church bell that annoyed many of the other reviewers didn't bother us. Disappointed in 2 twin beds but we pushed them together & was satisfactory. For the price I expected in-room safe and hot water (hot water might have been a temp. problem) I believe wifi worked well in room, I know it did in lobby. Have yet to find a spectacular deal for the mo...

The place is very clean and affordable but the utilities are lacking like they just give soap. I also dont like the service because we request for room service for our breakfast in 6am but even when i follow up it in 6:30am there is still no response thats why we decided to eat in their restaurant.

I really don’t want this review to be negative because quite frankly I was as much to blame as the host was for the troubles we had. This is a townhouse in nice subdivision and for some reason there are no numbers on the houses. There are street names which nobody uses. And after asking 6 different people we discovered that people there don’t even know their own addre...

I have stayed in other newly opened hotels in Butuan and I would say that only Gloreto Guest House maintained its cleanliness. It doesn't look too special but the interior is tastefully decorated and calming. My room was on the first floor and at the front so i was expecting it to be noisey but it was amazingly quiet. Staffs were friendly and attentive. The only downs...

Finding a decent & budget friendly hotel in Butuan is no easy task. This one came pretty close to what I was looking for. A little bit out of the way from downtown but not a terrible area, considering. Hotel was new and clean. Staff wasn't especially friendly, but not rude either. Just staying a couple days in Butuan? You could do much worse.

The museum exhibits and historic atmosphere of the hotel was interesting; however, that all lost it's importance when wifi didn't work in room (you could stand under the router in the hall but hot as hell) Asked why no hot water, red/blue marked on faucet-told no hot water. Planned on booking another night but no computer available-was told I'd have to go visit an in...

This is not a hotel for more than a day or 2. It is only for sleeping in and cleaning in. Staff are limited and not available after a certain time at night. Room was clean, bathroom acceptable, furnishings are limited and like what you find at garage sales. That being said, the bed was comfortable and the shower was strong and hot after running it for a few minute...

I believe this is currently the newest and best hotel in Butuan. The rooms are very comfortable and very clean. I experienced some problems with the wifi connection (not unusual in the Philippines) and the manager apologized and sent a complimentary drink to my room. The location is a little far from the central part of the city, but a tricycle ride will get you there ...

I had an excellent experience and it was precisely what i had expected in almost every regard. The best thing about the hotel in Butuan was the staff, including ther security staff. They were all very friendly, courteous, professional and just very pleasant to deal with, so kudos to the mgr for some great training. Go hotel in Butuan is best suited for the traveler wh...

We got a Suite (good for 5 people). The price was 2,200php (2,800php with tax and fees) a night. That means this was a 500+ php per person per night. I wasn't expecting much with this room, as I don't think there exists a decent room for that price. But fortunately, I was wrong! The room was spacious (much much spacious compared to other more expensive hotels), it had...

After 12 years, i'm back to butuan.. I was really amaze that this town has improved a lot. It was my first time to try watergate hotel, I love the location of the hotel.. specially, the hotel itself It was Amazing. Love the pool just beside our room and i love the room settings. The only problem is the A/C it was'nt that cold. I had it on a lowest temp on a cold air m...

Traveler impressions of Butuan
City is clean and roads are wide. There are many Filipino food around and people are generally friendly.
Several food outlets could be found. But there is nothing much to do in the city. It is the main airport though for Caraga region.
Zip line close by, some old churches, one of the oldest cities in the philippines.. significant mining in the area lots of new business opportunities.
Its a typical Philippine city, a marriage of old and new. A slightly more friendly city to wander round than most, but with little to do other then experience the multitude of eateries and shops.
safe nice city .. not to much to do there but u still can enjoy ur stay days in butuan
very peaceful and orderly city. transport system is working. problem with language though especially for first time tourists.
Butuan is historically rich. The local government is very support of the efforts to continue digging historical finds.
Butuan is a quite city located in Caraga and mainly would suit the invidual who is looking for peace and quite away from the hustle and bustle of big city life.
i think there is an excellent opputunity to have excertions in to the rural areas farms etc and sell all the good points of the city, this could be advertised in all the hotels solong as you keep your prices reasnoble, i was also made honurey memeber to the Rotary club was very humbling and i hope to raise funds in the Uk to support the victims from the Typhoon and there many other werthey causes, My ghope is also to reurn to Butuan and possibly if possible purchase a holiday home,
Quieter than other cities for its size. Much more spacious road network than other cities in Ph. Very appealing scenery.

More about Butuan
The history of Butuan dates back to beyond ancient times, and one of the best places to witness this city’s prehistoric artifacts is at the Butuan Regional Museum. This museum is not to be missed by any visitor looking to get a fairly comprehensive understanding of this city and surrounding region, as the collection is complete with plenty of archaeological and cultural artifacts that paint a clear picture of this city.
The locals of this city pride their city’s place in the history of this country, and the small city is almost overrun with landmarks and museums that support this claim. One such place is the site that locals believe to be Magellan’s Anchorage, which comes complete with its own annual “discovery day” celebration.
There’s much more to see and do in Butuan, and the interactive map on this page is a great way to explore where the attractions and hotels can be found in this exciting city.
