Posts: 1064Check-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.

If you're still around Northsider, how'd you make out?
Find it very interesting, even considering the inflation, it's recently apprx 4:1 vs 3:1 back when and yet it still comes out costly?
Don't mind inflation as long as you have the better exchange rate to go along with it and basically keep costs like a few years back. Guess that's dreaming though.
If a beer was 6p in 2008@3:1, that's $2. (just as an example, maybe more or less)
If now it's been inflated to 8p as an example, but you have the 4:1 exchange, well that's still $2. So where is all the extra costs in things coming from?
Unless some things are super inflating more than others.

Posts: 21Budget 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 I'm working my way through the various lists but most are out of date rarely come out below the 200p range.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.

Posts: 3Cheap hotel type thing.
Little hotel type small clean (but not modern by any stretch of the imagination) hotel in San Telmo. 50 pesos a night. Private bathroom, hot shower and bidet. Cable T. V. very small room and old but clean decor and bed sheets. Room cleaned daily.
Hey its somewhere to throw your bags and head out for the night. I'm sure its not chica friendly as owners let you in the door in the morning when returning from a night on the town. You would'nt want to take them there anyway.
I prefer the mirrored 2 hour smut shacks experience anyway and so do the girls (re:safety)
I do the hostel thing to meet girls and drink beers with other tourists but this is another alternative when you want to be alone and want to stash your cash for the good times.
Hotel Brias del Mar
Humberto primo 826 (cross st. pedrais)
San Telmo.

This site has an extensive list of the more reasonable and bijou hotels and hostels. Its a little cranky and obtuse at first, but a good source and very detailed with web sites, phone numbers, ratings, reviews, etc.

Posts: 20Other options
I have been going to BSAS since Jan. 2000, there are many options available and if you plan to stay for three weeks or more you can negociate a better price upfront.
Hotel Maipu, located between Cordoba and Viamonte is an older building, they have private rooms with or without private bath.
The staff are friendly and they allow chicas in the room, I spoke with the owner and got a 5 dollar break per night for long term stay (5 weeks)
On future trips I discovered youth hostells, they cost about 24 pesos per night, many have a small bar with super cheap beer and music.
The great part about this is there are always lots of young girls there, you can get your buzz cheap before going out to more expensive clubs, and you can save your money for chicas.
I stayed at V & S at 887 Viamonte, the bar is nice and it is a short walk to Florida and subte, another option is Portal Del SUR, 855 Hipolito Yrigoyen.
Again, nice bar with pool table on the roof, asado on the weekends, we even managed to sneek chicas into our room and fucked them right on the bunkbed with some poor slob trying to sleep above.
My budget has improved, and I desired more comfort / privacy, so these days I rent a loft from Byt argentina website. $us 400 per week cot me a 2000 sf loft downtown, two balconies, two queen beds, tv, internet and a private bar.
The staff met me when I arrived, everything was as promised, then they left me alone till checkout. I liked it becuase I could fuck chicas in one bed and sleep in the other.
Happy Mongering,
Zephyr

Try the Columbia hotel on Corrientes. Rooms are $35.00 for two but not fancy. For $50.00 dollars for two you can stay at a much nicer hotel called A and B. It is close to Corrientes but on Viamonte or Sarmentio. The least expensive is a hostel at $12.00. All prices are in US. Good luck trying to find a hotel since their vacation for the children has started and people travel to BA for a little R and R.

Cheapest places are in rundown hotels in San Telmo, Boca. Extra fleas are included for free.
