Strategically located within walking distance to Surigao Port, and easily accessible via a tricycle, RSY Pension House is an ideal place to stay when in the City of Island Adventures. I stayed here last month for the #SuroySurigao 3D2N tour.

This inn has a warm, homey feel to it. It's generally well-maintained and comfortable. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to roam around to check their function halls, garden and roof deck. Maybe something for my next visit. :)

Location

RSY Pension House is located on P. Reyes Street, a short walk from Surigao Port. Especially if your itinerary involves early or late arrival or departure via the port, this is the perfect place to stay in. It is also within close proximity to some restaurants and places of interest, including the Boulevard.

Staff

The staff is well-trained. They all looked neat, attentive, and accommodating. They were warm and quick to respond to the customers' needs.

Also got a chance to meet the manager, Ms. Grace, who was tremendously hospitable and generous.

Room

I stayed in a basic single room, fully air-conditioned with private toilet and bathroom. Room amenities also include hot and cold shower, wardrobe, adequate workspace, and TV. The room is clean and comfortable. Wi-Fi connection in the rooms is available as well.

What I really love about the room is the space. There is enough space to do yoga and even walk around. The double room can accommodate up to five persons.

Breakfast

As of yet, RSY Pension House does not serve meals or snacks. They do not have a restaurant or cafe yet.

Room Rates

The rooms are reasonably priced. Room rates as of April 2017 as follows:

Single room - Php 675
Double room - Php 850
Family room - Php 1200
Extra bed - Php 200.00 per bed

Pros

Convenient location within city limits.
Ample room size.
Rooms are complete with basic amenities.
Equipped with 24-hour security.
Staff is well-trained, warm, and friendly.
Free Wi-Fi inside the rooms

Cons

There is no cafe/restaurant.
The overall design is basic and may need a little update. They are undergoing a renovation of the facade area during my visit though.

Bottom Line

If you are looking for a basic accommodation, and location and value for money weigh more in decision-making rather than luxury, then DOT-accredited RSY Pension House is a great choice.
