Top Butuan Hotel Reviews
Almont Inland Resort
"The absence of chairs inside the room was very inconvenient especially when the weather was quite humid"
Embassy Hotel
"Staff persons were very friendly and helpful. It would help if they had a refrigerator in the room and coffee pots"
Watergate Hotel Butuan City
"No hot water first day. Rooms were a little small"
Diodeth's Apartments
"Water was not ready when we got in the apartment, so we had no water overnight. But the stay was good, clean, spacious and very easy access apartment. The host was also responsive."
Hotel Oazis Butuan
"Clean room the staff was very friendly and helpful even allowed me and my wife to check in early"
Grand Palace Hotel Butuan
"We came in from the south along the bypass and had a little trouble finding the hotel but luckily with the aid of Google maps we were able to find it in the end and once there it was well worth the stay. The check-in was smooth and quick with the staff welcoming and friendly and we were soon taken to our room by the porter. It was a big surprise to see our room, it was a very big room with twin beds and a large lounge suite and also a writing desk which was handy for my laptop. The bathroom was also large with a full bath and separate shower and large basin set and vanity. The aircon was an older style in the wall unit but it worked well and kept the room nice and cool and the beds were very comfortable for the three of us, two adults and a child. One small defect was the WiFi which was quite slow around 2.5mbps and didn't allow much streaming but not a huge problem for us. I'm not sure if there is an in-house restaurant as we had delivered food but there is breakfast available which we had next morning. Our one-night stay was excellent and we will surely stay there in future overnight visits to Butuan."
