Stayed here for 3D/2N (Nov 29-Dec1), few days before typhoon Pablo unleashed it's fury on this province. First of all, this hotel is very close (5 mins.) to Surigao Airport. Getting here is not a problem, they have free van transfer to/from the airport. We were checked in a standard room because all other rooms were occupied because there was... More

This was our ninth visit and only returned as a matter of loyalty and the fact it is conveniently located in Surigao on the highway. The whole place is run down with bathroom fixtures in a bad state of repair. We were in a suite which is large in size and the bed was comfortable and we had a view... More

We've stayed in Gateway on some four recent occasions, they continue to hire out the one and only restaurant as a conference facility whilst reducing their hotel guests to plastic tables and chairs in the hotel reception area. Room 306 was/is tired, indeed dangerous, beyond belief, there is a structural crack across the length of one wall and the window... More

For the benefit of Gateway Hotel, to identify ourselves clearly, we are staying in, supposed, Executive Room 217 for the night of 22 February 2012. First of all there is a significant hotel extension building programme in progress ... something that doesn't get mentioned on their website nor by their reservations personnel. Upon arrival in the room, this is supposedly... More

I live in Surigao City, but my parents house is quite far from the airport so we usually stays in gateway. For 3x we stayed there and it´s even longer days like 10 -15 days even. I agree to the other reviews, the restaurant atmosphere is not really that good, the rooms to be honest has some mosquitoes even during... More

We stayed one night in the hotel. It was ok, but not nice. The rooms are old with cracks in the wall, but clean. The restaurant is not good. The atmosphere is cold and ugly. We even saw a rat running through the restaurant. Pros: - close to the airport - peaceful location Cons: - old rooms - bad restaurant... More

We only stayed for a night and it was purely a disappointment. - very old hotel and doesn't look like it is well maintained. - no elevator - Restaurant closes at 11:30pm but when we arrived at 11:15pm, we were told it's already closed. - Very poor service. We requested for hot water so we can do instant noodles. It... More

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone coming to stay in Surigao City, stay at the Tavern. Hotel is very old, very dirty and very noisy. It is mostly a function centre than a hotel, guests staying here come last. Yes it has a nice swimming pool but when you want to go for a swim or just sit... More

only 2 decent hotels you could stay in in surigao city the gateway is one and the other is the tavern hotel. the main difference is the gateway has a pool the tavern doesnt. as well as that the main advantages of the gateway are its very nearr the airport also the main bus station. by about august 2012 there...
