Caracas Travel Forum

Im planning a trip to Venezuela in June 2008 and Im wondering are there any hostels in the city? If not can someone point me to where I could maybe find some cheap rooms to rent in a decent area.
Im coming for 6 months and plan on teaching english once im there.
Somewhere in the center of the city maybe near Plaza Venezuela

Hi, there are not hostels in Caracas, or at least not safe ones. You have the option to rent a room in an appartment or to choose a hotel. Near Plaza Venezuela there are plenty of hotels by Prolongacion Av. Las Acacias. Hotel Yare, Hotel Bruno are cheap options. If you want to rent a room, check on www.tuinmueble.com.

I'm in a really beautiful area called Paraíso. I pay 800 bolivares a month, which is $400 at the official rate of exchange, but if you bring plenty of US dollars in cash, you can reduce that figure to about $250 or less by exchanging the money on the street, which is fairly safe and easy. I share a bath but there is no problem. There's hardly anyone ever in it. Contact me at udikeyes@yahoo.com if you'd like to discuss it more. But I'll be gone by the time you arrive, Still I can put you in contact with the people probably. It's a fifteen-minute walk to the subway, and there are buses around too.

Hi,

I'm renting two rooms in my apartment, If you think you might be interested, please contact me at jjimenez@supercable.com and I`ll send you all the details.

Best regards,
