"The room was very comfortable, clean, upgraded and well lit. The location was not too far from the airport or zona romantica. There is also a vegan cafe - viva la vegan within 10 min walking distance for any vegans out there. The pool on the roof top is beautiful. Live music/DJ was ok and a bit loud. View is great and you can also walk down to the beach of the neighboring resorts. Our room faced the ocean and the road and was noisy at times due to the traffic. "

"The hostel is clean, in a beautiful location on the hillside, with an easy small walk up the steps to reach. We stayed a few nights and had breakfast there most mornings. Fresh fruit and juice, coffee and homemade banana bread. Rooftop terrace has sublime views over the bay and zona romantica, day or night. Reception desk is very nice, Yasmin has great English! Try and get an upstairs room with a view. Economy room is dark and needs air, but you get what you pay for. Great stay, would visit...

"Fantastic location. I would totally come back here. The place is nice and they keep it clean, desk staff were lovely, roof top kitchen and hammock. They have cute friendly cats. The bed is a bit firm but I slept well enough. The kitchen could be better stalked with some basics like oil, salt etc but there’s a fridge, microwave and gas cook top. All in all I would totally recommend it."

How can I get cheap hotels in Puerto Vallarta?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Puerto Vallarta

  1. If you're looking to travel to Puerto Vallarta on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $12. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $368. Staying a short amount of time in Puerto Vallarta is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Puerto Vallarta, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Puerto Vallarta, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Puerto Vallarta, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.
