   It’s very difficult to find prices of places to stay. The biggest hotels, the small pensions, all seem shy to tell about their prices.

   Anyone got an idea of what the Welcome Home costs per night?

   Hello adrian,

   I think the Welcome Home pension house has a few fan rooms that start in the 500 to 600 peso range.

   They are located across from the Dup Tours bus terminal which is very handy if you are using the shuttle.

   My choice in Tacloban:

   You have hit on the biggest drawback to budget traveling in the Philippines…that is that lodging is rather expensive.

   Transportation is cheap, but hotels and inns are high compared to Indonesia or Thailand.

   cheers

   Hi Margie :)

   The main advantage to staying at the Welcome Home might be that it is located right across the street from Duptours. Sorry I do not have any new phone numbers handy.

   I often stay at the “Basic Rooms” Tacloban across the street from the Convention Center on the water but it is difficult if you do not have a vehicle. This place also has wheel chair accessibility rooms for those that want that feature.

   The rooms on the lower level are wheelchair accessible. Tel 325-4465

   Fastest way of going to Tacloban city is by plane. There are daily direct flights from Manila and Cebu. Getting around is city is by riding jeepney and tricycle when you’re in downtown. There are also a lot of choices to eat from fastfood to homegrown restaurants.
