Articles Mentioning Budget
Amaru Hostal
Amaru Hostal is a two-and-a-half-pearl inn in the historic Barrio de San Blas, a little over a five-minute walk from the Plaza de Armas. The inn has an intimate, bed-and-breakfast vibe and Peruvian-style interiors with carved-wood furniture. A well-liked free breakfast with hot and cold items is served every morning, but other features are limited and other meals aren’t available on-site. The 27 rooms come with free Wi-Fi (with occasional connectivity issues) and flat-screen TVs. Occasional problems with heat and hot water have also been reported. It’s a charming budget option, to be sure. However, those who want more features can consider the nearby Casa Andina Private Collection Cusco. It has a restaurant and bar, but the rooms are less interesting.
Playa Club Hotel
Hotel Playa Club is a budget-friendly hotel located smack in the middle of Bocagrande, Cartagena’s popular shopping, nightlife, and entertainment district. The hotel is situated across the street from the beach, and is within walking distance of restaurants, bars, casinos, and shopping malls. Rooms are simply decorated, but they’re clean, and different types can accommodate families, couples, or solo travelers. However, street-facing rooms can be loud at night, and water pressure in the showers is dismal. Free breakfast and Wi-Fi are definite perks, but travelers looking for an all-inclusive property might prefer the nearby Decameron Cartagena, though rates are typically more expensive.
