cheap hotels in BA, any ideas?

[sergio]

Can anyone recommend a cheap hotel in BA? Everything has gone up so much I can not find an inexpensive place to recommend to visitors. The Prince and Guido Palace Hotels (2 stars) cost about $25 dollars about 3 years ago. Now they are around $100 for a single. I need something cheaper. Any ideas?

What about clubs? If, for example, an American were a member of the Army & Navy (Washington, D.C.), he could stay at the Argentine reciprocal, Círculo Militar, for about twenty-five dollars, I think.

I agree that prices have gone up outrageously here of late. The only hotel that I know that is less than 160 pesos a night is the Art deco Hotel Palermo . Its clean and well located

If you want cheap, try bed and breakfast. I can recomend
http://www.ba-h.com.ar/lubain.htm Single from $25 or double $45, shared bathroom, but so freindly that I still keep in contact even though I now have my own place. DIY breakfast so you can rise any time, only three rooms though, one double, one single, and one single en suite. Tell Luba Bob sent you.
If not to your taste just search B&B Buenos Aires on Google. Good luck.

Some of the apartments on this site have rates that are lower than hotels, especially if you rent by the month. www.tratodirecto.com.ar

Try BA4U apartments. I've rented from them twice, once in April of 2007 for 2 weeks & for the entire month of Nov 2007. I think I paid $40 USD/day for the place in Nov that was huge, nicely appointed & furnished with maid service. Check out their website.

Many cheap hotels on avenida de Mayo, around 30 dollars a single room (no less).
some of them could be:
Hotel Marbella http://www.hotelmarbella.com.ar/
Hotel Mari Plaza (people from my job delegations go there), on Bartolome Mitre Ave. http://www.mariplazahotel.com.ar/
cheaper places could give you a bad surprise...beware.
I'm not an expat, I'm porteña, I've been trip advisor for years. So, at your service.
