BUENOS AIRES HOTEL ACCOMMODATION ARGENTINA

CHEAP BUENOS AIRES HOTEL ACCOMMODATION

Cheap Buenos Aires Accommodation – With half of the entire country’s accommodation found in Buenos Aires, there is no shortage of hotel rooms and this, coupled with a recent boom in budget rooms, means there are some great bargains to be had. Full dining facilities may not be offered in some of the cheaper establishments but there are plenty of dining options to be had nearby. Remember that some rooms may not have windows or face onto interior corridors, so if you suffer from claustrophobia it might be better to request one with a balconies.

Make sure you research the area where you want to stay and find out what the public transport is like around there. In general, the corporate centre and Recoleta districts are the most popular places to stay being the closest to shops and other amenities. However, this area can get expensive so try the hip Palmermo Viejo instead. The Barracas and Constitucion areas are extremely cheap but in a less desirable part of town.

Hotels are busiest in July, August and November so remember to book ahead and confirm the reservation before you arrive. You can find out most of what you’ll want to know about the options, by checking out and making your reservation on the internet.
