Temporary Places Near Unibe
Hello,
you might want to stay in a small apartment hotel 14 minutes away called Hotel Millenium. It's located 1 street south of Mexico, between Rosa Duarte and the National Palace. The other hotel down Maximo Gomez across from the McDonalds is alot closer to fast food restaurants and what not, it is about 18 minutes away. I forget it's name, but turn on right on the south side of Mickey D's and you'll see it on the left after 1 block. Both places aren't the best, but they aren't too bad for the price, i recall about 30 bucks a night.
Also, Hotel Lina, (Maximo Gomez and 27th of Feb) - I think it's about 80 on Expedia. Otherwise...25 minutes walking and you've got Jaragua and Melia on the Malecon, both upwards of 110 USD.
If you're a student attending Unibe, you'll find posted ads for apartments on campus and in the surrounding little shops. Lot's of apartments in the area....I know people paying anything from 300 USD / Month and all the way up. You get what you pay for. If you are staying longer, i recommend getting a car and moving further away, somewhere with a planta and better security.
Good luck.
