  • Camping Cullumche

    Bariloche & the Lake District

    Well signed from Blvd Nahuel Huapi, this secluded but large lakeside campground can get very busy in summer, but when it’s quiet, it’s lovely.

  • Hostería La Paleta del Pintor

    Bariloche

    Everything about this place screams ‘cute,’ but the rooms are big and airy, with small but spotless bathrooms and big-screen TVs. Good value.

  • Solar de la Quebrada

    Quebrada de Humahuaca

    Rooms at this cheapie are decorated with local art, but like so many places in the Quebrada, it suffers from absent owners. Still, a decent deal.

    Very standard and slightly spacious rooms just uphill from the plaza. It's the cheapest in town and not a bad deal as long as you're not fussy.

  • Hotel Selby

    Mendoza & the Central Andes

    There's nothing really flash going on here, but the rooms are a decent size and the downtown location can't be beat. Good value for the price.

  • Albertina Hotel

    Mendoza & the Central Andes

    An ordinary business-class hotel facing the central plaza. Rooms vary in size and quality, so best to take a look at several before booking.
