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.
๐ฐ️ 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.
๐ Room & Facilities
๐️ Over 50 guest rooms
๐
Rooftop pool on the 5th floor – ideal for relaxing or private parties
(fits up to 200 guests)
๐ฝ️
Cafรฉ Teresa – known for their danggit and unlimited brewed coffee
๐
Event hall – great for weddings, conferences, or reunions
๐ธ
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.
๐ก 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!
