๐Ÿจ Hotel Alejandro – A Stay Steeped in History and Hospitality in Tacloban

Some hotels just give you a place to sleep. Hotel Alejandro gives you a story.

The first time I stayed at Hotel Alejandro, I was hooked—not just by the warm welcome or their delicious Filipino breakfast, but by the feeling that I had stepped into a living museum.

So on my second trip to Tacloban? No question—I booked here again.


๐Ÿ•ฐ️ A Heritage Hotel with Heart

Hotel Alejandro isn’t a modern luxury tower, but it makes up for it with character, comfort, and charm.
The building is filled with World War II memorabilia—framed clippings, sepia-toned photographs, vintage uniforms, and other relics. If you're a history buff (or even just mildly curious), you’ll find yourself wandering the lobby with awe and quiet reflection.

When we entered the lobby, I was immediately drawn to the grand staircase—one of those cinematic ones that make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. I climbed a bit of it, but the upper floors were off-limits for now. Still, the atmosphere was enough to stir goosebumps... and yes, I did get that slight “somebody’s watching me” feeling that old places tend to evoke.


๐Ÿ›Œ Room & Facilities

๐Ÿ›️ Over 50 guest rooms
๐ŸŠ Rooftop pool on the 5th floor – ideal for relaxing or private parties (fits up to 200 guests)
๐Ÿฝ️ Cafรฉ Teresa – known for their danggit and unlimited brewed coffee
๐ŸŽ‰ Event hall – great for weddings, conferences, or reunions
๐Ÿ“ธ WWII Memorabilia Display – located at the entrance/lobby

During my first stay, the rooftop pool was still under construction, and we were too busy to explore. But by my next visit, I made it a point to see the venue where my friend’s wedding reception was held. Elegant and nostalgic.


๐Ÿ’ก Travel Tips

  • Tip: Ask for a room on a higher floor for a quieter stay and better views.
  • If you love historical places, take time to explore the lobby displays—it’s like walking through a small museum.
  • The hotel has an old-wood scent—it’s not unpleasant, just part of the heritage vibe.
  • Don’t miss breakfast at Cafรฉ Teresa—they serve one of the best daing na bangus in town!
