Cheap Hotels in Buenos Aires
There are some serious deals to be found in lodgings in Buenos Aires, given that you are willing to sacrifice room service, gym access, and plush towels. Depending on just how slim your budget is, penny-pinching travelers can choose from any of the numerous hostels scattered throughout the city (many offer private single and double rooms on request) and less cushy bed and breakfasts - but watch out, because these places typically charge in international dollar prices. For a real steal, the most traditional hotels in town, concentrated mainly in the dense areas of the Centro, Tribunales, and Congreso, are aimed at Argentinian visitors to Buenos Aires and charge reasonable prices, in pesos. The serious bargain-hunter will be interested in any of the loads of 'hoteles familiares,' or family hotels, which are typically the most basic of rooms and shared bathrooms, at a fraction of the price of any other local accommodations. How does one go about finding these? Just stroll around any given neighborhood and keep your eyes peeled for 'Habitación Disponible' signs. Besides saving a few pesos, opting for these lodgings ensures a cultural experience like no other.
