Principado Downtown
This is a great place for not a lot of money which is right downtown and has everything you need right on Paraguay Ave. You can either pay $300 a night for a hotel, or pay less than $100 here, and still get a great breakfast, a super-clean room, and walk to everything you need. Highly recommend!
