Hotel Gioly

Caracas


There’s no tourism-oriented hospitality at this 45-room, is-it-or-isn’t-it love motel (they shy from reservations), but it’s hard to beat for price and location, set on a bustling, working-class but safe commercial street in Chacao, just two blocks south of Centro San Ignacio. Recently renovated rooms are surprisingly nice, with LCD televisions and some with extra room for small tables. You can walk to everything in Altamira, La Castellena, El Rosal and Los Palos Grandes from here, day or night.
