I really had a good time staying at tavern for 4 days and 3 nights. It was almost 22 years since the last time I was here and I must say the hotel greatly improved. The receptionist were courteous at all times. Housekeeping is done everyday. Replenishing towels, beddings, water, disposable toothbrushes. Food are affordable. Likewise the location is near... More

Stayed in the East Wing of the hotel and the room had seen better days. Towels were worn and mattress was foam and not comfortable. While the room had a sea view, I was disappointed with the quality. But the hotel has free shuttle from the airport, the driver was courteous and met me with an umbrella because of the... More

This had been my 2nd stay at the Tavern, unquestionably this is the best hotel in Surigao City but alas, I'm presuming it's the accountants becoming involved, the restaurant food is dire.
