Where to stay in Caracas?: Advice for budget travellers

Country forums / South America / Venezuela

Looking for safe-cheap'n-nice accomodation?

Caracas lacks of hostels, and cheap lodging is absolutely not recomended, because they're usually located in ugly, unsafe, dirty areas.

Budget hotels located in safe, well-conected and nice areas are a better bet. They are never as cheap as a hostel or a b&b, but you would not fall into bankruptcy for staying overnight in Caracas or for just 2 or 3 nights, ha ha.

Here I give you a short list of places where to stay in Caracas (remember, they're not luxury accomodation; they'll give just what you need for your budget travel):
