A Hidden Gem”

I asked a friend who is a local of Dumaguete but he is unfamiliar to Golden Gate Suites but based on recommendation and rating of Agoda, I went ahead and booked 2 rooms with the agreement to pay upon check in. I am satisfied not only because the transaction happened as agreed, the room is new and clean with strong wifi. Even if the hotel is in downtown Dumaguete, I slept well with no noise from the street. Very convenient as it is just walking distance from Siliman, the Port, Rizal Boulevard, and Sans Rival.

Great value for your money! ”

I was quite happy when we had an early check in @ 10am vs. 2pm hotel check in policy. Their staff is very friendly and courteous as well. The room is very nice and clean, perfect for relaxing after a day of strolling around the city of Dumaguete. They offer a very good value for your money. Although they havent got amnesties, they made up for it by having a nice clean, comfortable room. Overall, we had a wonderful day exploring dumaguete and it was made better by having a relaxing & comfortable stay in Golden Gate Suites. Can’t wait to be back!

Great choice”

I immediately booked Golden Gate Suites the moment I read the great reviews through Agoda— no regrets as I enjoyed every single night of our stay there. Pros (+) - Value for money. Still couldn’t believe this is a budget hotel. For a room less than Php 1000 (approx $20), you get to have a comfy double bed, clean sheets, spacious room/ bathroom, a/cs in good condition, cable tv, basic toiletries, regular housekeeping (request basis), free drinking water, warm, knowledgeable & helpful hotel staff from the receptionists, security guard, every staff. We were able to borrow an umbrella since it was raining when we visited. - Place is near the boulevard (where most of the restaurants are located) but not walking distance- near. You would still need to ride a tricycle that costs a dime (Php 10/ride route per person) - I’d say the hotel is strategically located since there’s a convenient store (7/11), coffee shop, massage facilitated by the blinds, a spa/massage parlor at the ground.

For On-The-Go Travellers”

The Golden Gate Suites is perfect for on-the-go travelers. It's located in the city, and is close to most points of interest - restaurants, hospital, church, the boulevard, the park, market and groceries, shops, public transportation, and is only about 10-15 minutes from the airport. It is also great for getting R&R, being detached from all the hustle and bustle of city life, as the rooms are private and peaceful. It has all the basics one needs. Staff are very courteous and helpful, rooms are clean and functional. This was my second stay, and I'm sure there will be more.

Great Location but the AC needs maintenance”

Golden Gate Suites' location is very ideal very near our preferred spots in the area. Walking distance to the market where you can try eating breakfast at Painitan, minutes walk to the famous Sans Rival and the bay area. Plus is a 7-11 convenience store located in the first floor and the services of the blinds for a great massage after a whole day of strolling the city. The only downside was that our room's air-conditioning unit was not in good condition, it's not cool even if it's in the lowest temperature setting already. I told the receptionist about it upon our check-out but she just said that may be it needs some cleaning. They should not give the room to guests if the AC is not in good condition in the first place.

Good value for money”

The best thing about it was its location-- ten minutes from the airport (costs 120 pesos); 4 blocks from the bay walk; 2 blocks away from the public market where you can have a nice traditional local breakfast; close to banks and restaurants. I particularly appreciate the hotel's "what to do in Dumaguete in a day" advice. The staff were courteous and helpful. The bathroom was a lot more spacious than what is typically found in hotels of the same rating. Most flights into Dumaguete seem to arrive in the morning. So, if you want to check in early, it will cost you an additional 200 pesos. Overall, I recommend it and would consider staying here again.

Value for money and location!”

It is a 5 minute walk to Sansrival store, one of the "yummiest" and well known pastry store of Dumaguete. It is located at the center of the city. Unfortunately during our stay, the typhoon paulo had heavy rains and thunder storms. We did not have the chance to visit manjuyod sandbar and dolphin watching. Nonetheless, the room is really great. Since we came from flight from cebu, to whale watching and canyoneering in cebu, we are craving for a nice, comfortable bed and.... Cravings satisfied! Thank you for your great employees. Very helpful and genuine. Kudos to you guys!

Comfy stay, but still can be improved”

Beds and pillows were comfortable and clean. TV and cable were working well. We asked the reception to make up our rooms but when we came back in the evening, we saw that our rooms were completely untouched. Apparently, our request was listed (as confirmed by one of the staff) but housekeeping did not bother doing it. I guess we'll never know why. This is quite minor though as housekeeping can still be trained or whoever is in charge should double check their work. Overall, our stay with Golden Gate Suites was fine. The receptionist was nice. A water dispenser was available in the lobby and we had multiple refills. The room assigned to us were far from the streets so noise from outside was very minimal.

Best Value for Money!”

Stayed overnight in Dumaguete. Though this is not our 1st choice hotel, we enjoyed our stay. PROS: Clean & quiet room, reception staff is helpful and accommodating, a/c is cool and have complimentary soap & shampoo. Loved the 7/11 convenience store below the hotel. CONS: Hot/Cold Shower has low pressure of water. But definitely, we'll consider staying again in the future if we will come back in Dumaguete.

Value for Money”

Location is definitely great - walking distance from the city and lots of nearby restaurants where you can eat. Room was clean and comfortable enough. Staff are friendly and accommodating. We had to rebook our stay because all trips to Siquijor are cancelled so our vacation was cut short. Good thing they allowed to move our reservation to an earlier date. Appreciate it! We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Dumaguete.

Good location, comfortable room.”

The room was small but all the essentials were there. Walk about 10 mins to the sea side area. Close to restaurants, an ATM, the 7/11, a bakeshop. Hot water shower. Contrary to other reviews, the room was not too loud. You could hear a little bit of engine noise, but if the AC is on it's almost entirely blocked out. And although there is traffic noise, people in Dumaguete don't seem to use their car horns like crazy (barely at all), so that's nice.

Good place to stay”

Golden Gate Suites have nice clean rooms in a good, central location. Nice, friendly staff, too. It's not a "proper" hotel" and lacks some facilities but offers great value if you don't mind that.

Worth it!”

Good location. Friendly staff. Clean room. What more could you ask for? If you are on a budget and looking for a decent place to stay, you will not be disappointed with Golden Gate Suites.

Can definitely recommend the place”

+staff were nice. Very helpful and answered our questions regarding Dumaguete. They also helped carried our bags upto the 3rd floor +small requests such as extra towels, hot water were all accomodated +pretty central location, so couple of meters walk to the main spots and to restaurants -rooms are upstairs and there is no elevator so you have to walk up a stretch of stairs, we were at the 3rd floor. The 2x we stayed

Stay here”

Stayed here with my friend for 1 night. The accommodation is centrally located, with a 7-Eleven store in the ground floor. No lift but no issues with us because we only had backpacks. Rooms were spacious, beds were comfortable. Toilet & shower area was nice. Shower pressure can be improved + the AC can be a little cooler. Would stay here again when I go back to Dumaguete.

good location”

golden gate suites is definitely fantastic in terms of location,restaurant and transportations. but the blanket and pillows are itchy. anyway thanks a lot. we have a good stay. cheers

Exceptional”

Not bad for the money we paid for. Also, great location. Very accessible to restaurants, the famous Rizal Boulevard, market, and there’s a convenience store nearby. Accessible to Dumaguete port as well. Like 5 mins away. Decent room!!!!! Highly recommended if you’re looking for a decent budget place to stay.

Nice place for a night's stay”

Golden Gate Suites is a cozy hotel located in downtown Dumaguete. It has a 7 Eleven store and a cafe at the ground floor of its building. It is within walking distance to the Dumaguete Cathedral, Rizal Boulevard and other tourist places in the city.

Good Value for money”

there was no elevator so be ready to use the stairs. Our room was in the third floor and we have luggage but thankfully the doorman was there to help. The place is located 3 blocks away from Rizal Blvd and is near everything. There is also 7/11 downstairs. I would really recommend this place for those visiting Dumaguete.

Happy Stay ”

The staff are great and accommodating. We requested for an extension as we brought our sicked Dad to attend holy mass and have lunch before we fly to Manila. Staff granted our request without hesitation. Simple Hotel but clean, decent, safe and in a good location. Well definitely stay here again in our next Dumaguete visit.
