So when you get here, book a budget hotel for a couple nights. Wander around the city and you will be amazed at what you can find. Because most of these seem to be family owned (the 15 dollar a night places at least) you may be able to negotiate especially after February.

Quiet / saftey deposit box?
Can anyone tell me if this hotel (nontuehotel) is in a quiet enough area to get a good night sleep? Is there anything I need to look out for like not staying on one side of the building versus the other for noise reasons?
In room saftey deposit boxes or one box at the front desk?
Thanks.
Ps. They seem to be very well organized and accessible through the internet.
Hotel Prince - Recoleta area
Stayed there for a couple of weeks in May.
Price.
Was 130 pesos then for the small room (already 145)
Includes continental breakfast of croissants and coffee served in your room.
Room.
Very small, but nice.
AC, elevator.
Quiet, which I need and I was right in front.
Chicas.
Very chica friendly.
Chicas can just walk up to the room with you.
They don't have to stop at the front desk.
Don't have to show ID.
No joiner fee.
Brought in girls all hours of the day and night.
Hotel Guests.
Pretty old fogey and staid.
They wore a lot of clothes and had 5-10 pieces of luggage.
Some old lady kind of looked askance at me one day when I pulled Isabella from Cafe Orleans and brought her there in the middle of the day when the button-crowd was milling about the lobby but the staff never tripped on it.
Location.
I thought it was perfect.
Best part of town apparently.
Midway between the Recoleta Village and Cafe Exedra. Easy walk either way.
Taxi ride was 4.5 pesos from either location.
Great restaurants all around that area.
One block off of Cordoba.
Budget recommendation update?
Haven't been in BA since 2006. I had a list of hotels from back then in the less than US$20 (app 60 pesos back then) per night range. Looks like they are all in the US$50 range now.
I'm looking for a place in the 100p / night range for a few nights in early November, hopefully setting up an apartment rental for when I return in January. I have the names of a few places, but was wondering if any of you gents can recommend (or warn of) any places in this range. I'm working my way through the various lists but most are out of date rarely come out below the 200p range.
Don't care about chica-friendly, just clean, safe and relatively quiet. I don't want to stay in San Telmo, prefer somewhere near Av. Santa Fe, but will consider elsewhere that is a fairly safe area.
Check-out AP HOUSE before going to a buget hotel
You might be very pleasantly surprised in many ways. PM Jackson. He did not ask me to do this-but it is an obvious alternative in the 200 to 250 pesos per night range. He might be a bit above that w / discounts available depending on timing and length of stay. Beautiful place in near-perfect safe location.
