Budget hotels in Cali are often housed in older colonial buildings without soundproofing, where rooms might only have a ceiling fan. Check room photos carefully to ensure there is a window that actually opens, and look at weekday rates when prices tend to drop. A private room in a boutique hostel is often a much cozier alternative to a basic cheap hotel.
Budget Lodging in Cali
Traveling on a strict budget doesn't mean you have to sacrifice a good night's sleep. Economy hotels (typically 2-3 stars or unrated) provide safe, clean, and private rooms at highly competitive rates.
These places are perfect if you plan on spending your days exploring or working, and just need a reliable basecamp. For even more thrifty options, you might also explore local guest houses or hostels.
When booking economy options, check for:
- Proximity to public transit lines to save on cab fares.
- In-room or lobby Wi-Fi reliability.
- Whether the bathroom is en-suite or shared down the hall.
