Hi,
I am leaving for Venezuela in about 4 days and I was wondering who stayed in a good and not to expensive ;) hostel over in Caracas? easy to get from from the airport? Lots of travellers?
And how did you like Caracas?
Any tips for trips in Venezuela?
Thx!

As far as I´ve gathered there are NO hostels what so ever in the entire country. I tried booking a hotel online but I think they want me to pay before I get there which would mean using the official exchangerate. 70 pounds for a hotelroom. No thanks. I have a sneaking suspicion I´m gonna have to wing it when I get there like everyone else.
Yeah I am gonna pay my hotel when I get there, seeing as it will be more than 50% cheaper...
Which hotel did you find? I ve seen that another traveller went to Vistavilla Suites and is seems ok. It is expensive but maybe if I just go there when I arrive, it might indeed be cheaper.
Yeah I found that as well but it seems to be a tad far east of the centre, which is meant to be less safe? I´m thinking just catch an official taxi when I get there and go to Altamira and say the names of a few hotels that I found, like La Floresta. Seemed to have good reviews.
There is a hotel called Altamira (go figure ;)) and it is 40 usd a night for a room. When do you go? Maybe you can mail me afterwards where it was good to stay LOL.... or I ll mail you 'cos I leave on Tuesday.
I found a hotel called shelter suites, very good references. According to the site it is near the Floresta one.

and from here on you can click on the shelter suites.
Shelter Suites sounds good. I get there a week after you, I will probably travel the country for about a month, no real plan. Let me know if you wanna meet up, doesn´t seem to be a whole lot of other travellers in this country, or maybe they are just too welltraveled to use the TT forum..
