Caracas Travel Forum

Helenita, thank you for your answer and you're right, I didn't mean Caracas I meant whatever city the airport is in. I don't want to go all the way to Caracas and then come back for an early morning flight. Does anyone know of any inexpensive hotels right near the airport?

Hi,
We stayed at the Hotel Santiago in Macuto in July. It was relatively inexpensive $60 US for a family room for 4 and had a good inexpensive restaurant and a swimmimg pool on the roof. Room pretty basic but clean and ok for a night.
It was 25 min taxi ride (lots of traffic) from the airport at 4pm but only 5 - 10 mins at 6 am next day. Cost $25 US each way.
Couldn't find anything near to airport except Hotel Eurobuilding Express which I thought very expensive.
Look on airport website for other hotel suggestions

Also stayed in Santiago twice, is near a beach "resort", Slept one nignt before leaving Venezuela, and another when traveling from Canaima to Los Roques. Quite inexpensive, good restaurant in the hotel but bedroom not so clean.
