3 Stars Hotels in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina

Despite its name, this isn't what North Americans consider a hostel. All the rooms are separate, with baths n suite. Our room was spotless. the linens were high quality. The window opened onto a small rose garden. The staff were helpful. Most spoke English but welcomed Spanish -- even our Tex Mex variety. Although it is only two blocks above Ushuaia's main street and three blocks from the port, the neighborhood was quiet. The included breakfast was a rather modest continental version, but plenty to tide us over until a more substantial lunch or brunch at one of the restaurants nearby.

The hotel seems brand new: rooms are spacious, comfortable (the bed in particular) with all the facilities required, bedrooms' furniture is new and luxurious. I loved the warm feeling experienced in the way back to the hotel after a long day out in the cold. There's a 20% discount if you eat in the on-site restaurant and they also do room service. 24/7 reception, kind staff and nice breakfast. The cleaning service was perfect. Just a few suggestions: I would have appreciated bacon in the morning. The bread served for dinner is very dry, seems old. WiFi very slow in peak hours. All in all, a great experience.

El hotel está en la calle principal, pleno centro. Calle transitada. Tarde en la noche se sienten algunas motos, pero el ruido es tolerable, luego . . . silencio. Las medias lunas del desayuno son lo mejor !! No hay frutas, quizás porque las mismas son sumamente caras en el sur argentino. Camas cómodas, habitación algo pequeña, baño con tina y buena fuerza en el agua. No hay comida como para almorzar o cenar, sí pizzas y hamburguesas.

唯一只有一個缺點，窗戶是木框，氣密性不好，室外的汽車聲音完全無法隔絕，臥室靠馬路，晚上很吵，不太好入睡。 飯店接待人員友善、熱情介紹，並提前關心確認各種需要，房間空間非常大、舒服，只有廁所有一點點小，但不影響使用，廚房設備齊全。

The apartment was okay. The faucets in the shower were hard to set for the right temperature with the hot water. It was too hot or too cold and if one doesn't want to be burned, one has to have a weak flow of water. If I increased the flow the water was scorching hot. The apartments was a studio with a bed, chairs, kitchen, fully loaded with dishes, silverware. The closet space was fine and over all the place was it very clean. It is good for two people. The problem was the communication regarding the check-in process. It was not at the apartments, but on the other side of the street on the rear at the Alto Andino Hotel and to get there one has to walk about 200 feet to the corner, make a left for a 300 feet walk up a steep hill, then make another left for an additional walk of 250 feet. The walk is not a problem, but not with a 50lb duffel bag and a 19lb carry-on. If I had been told about this, I would have asked the Uber driver to take me to the Alto Andino Hotel for check-in and I would have asked the driver to wait for me to take me to the Vela apartments. Instead the Uber driver dropped me at the La Vela apts. and I was outside the apartments with my luggage, knocking at the door waiting and hoping for someone to open the door. I tried to call the number of the La Vela apts. listed on the email reservation, but I got a message from the cell service stating the number was a not working number. After about a half hour waiting, a guest of the apartments that was returning from breakfast told me about the ckeck-in issue, he also stated that he had the same problem. When I complained to the receptionist of the Alto Andino hotel, a guy, he just didn't say anything at all, he didn't even say the reason the phone didn't work. To enter the apartments, one has to key in a code. The next day management changed the code and I was not informed, so I couldn't get in the building. I tried to call the La Vela apts. at the number listed on the paper work I got at the time of check-in the day before, but no one answered the phone!!! I had to walk to the Alto Andino Hotel, I complained to the same guy that checked me in the day before, he just gave me the new combination and said that he was busy checking-in other guests, so he couldn't answer the phone. If one wants to have breakfast, one has to pay an additional $10, and it's at the Alto Andino Hotel. The breakfast was okay. The only problem was that both the coffee and the hot water for the tea were cold.

Let me talk about the shortcomings first. The room is too small and the facilities in the room are incomplete. The whole room has only two power outlets, one under the table and one in the bathroom, which is inconvenient. There is no air conditioning, but there is electric heating, it is very close to the table, it is easy to be scalded, and the sound insulation is not good. Breakfast is average, but in Ushuaia in winter, there are fresh fruits, meat, and fullness, so you can’t ask for too much, and the pastries are quite delicious. The hotel is on a hillside, a certain distance away from the tourist area of Ushuaia. It takes 20 minutes to walk and take a taxi for 100 pesos, about 10 yuan, which is acceptable. Otherwise, the heavy snow will still feel like going home on the snow. Besides the advantages, the scenery is invincible, because on the hillside, the view is excellent, and the hotel lobby overlooks the entire harbour. On the other side is a small forest. The day I arrived there happened to be heavy snow, covered in silver, and very comfortable. Then the hotel seems to be under the umbrella of a tourism group. There are hotels and travel agencies in the city center, so the tickets for national parks and lighthouses with them are discounted very much. You can also pick up and drop off from the door to the park, which is very convenient.

The location of the hotel is very good. The street behind is the commercial street. The front is the port. You can walk to the pier at sea in three or five minutes, about 100 meters from the end of the world museum. But the hotel is very old, the rooms are small and the facilities are average. The front desk speaks English, the service is very good, and we recommend travel agencies and restaurants for us. Front desk service is worth five stars

The room is large enough and the location is in the downtown area, making it easy to go anywhere. Breakfast is simple but filling. The service attitude is good, and the front desk staff has good English and can communicate without any barriers. Recommended.

I hate leaving bad reviews; travelling here from the US was a long and exhausting process. I arrived at 07:30, way ahead of check in, and didn't expect a room, but maybe a place where I could sit and have coffee. Gentlemen at the desk said coffee was part of breakfast buffet, that I needed to wait until I was checked in for the next day. Really? I couldn't have coffee even though I was booked here two nights? Wow. I got checked in at 1, which was fine, but the room was uncomfortably warm. I found the thermostat and turned the heat to cool. Tried to nap (up all night traveling here), but it was too warm. And, I heard people talking like they were in my room. They were in an adjacent room - talking in normal voices - no sound barrier at all! I set the air to the coldest setting and left, returned a couple of hours later and the room was hot. I called the front desk and was told no air conditioning and to open a window. Loud construction and traffic - and the neighbors talking = no sleep again. Day 2, repeat. New neighbors talking, room still hot, loud noises out the window. The hotel also offers free WiFi, but it was slow and intermittent at best. Just terrible. I thought I would give them a pass on that since we were at the ”end of the world,” but found the restaurants I ate at had good WiFi. Asides: no water or coffee available except until 10:00. The bigger issue was water, as the guides I read claimed ”tap water in Ushuaia is not potable.” I've traveled to Africa (several times), Borneo, Thailand, Norway, S Korea, Costa Rica - every place I've stayed provided water, and most had coffee or other beverages available throughout the day as complimentary. To be fair, they provided bottled water in the rooms - but in the mini bar for a price. And breakfast? The breakfast plates they provide are the size of coffee saucers! And the first thing they took away from the breakfast bar was the coffee pot!! So - not impressed. I would not stay here again.

Located on a hill, but close to the main street and with easy access to restaurants, shops, cafes, etc. The room is a good size, with heating, TV, closet. The shower takes time to heat up but the trick is to turn on the tap first and let the water run for a few minutes to get hot water in the shower. The place to have breakfast is on the third floor with a beautiful view. There was often a lack of seats for guests and sometimes there was only one girl to serve everyone who was sometimes late. Argentinean coffee with bread, media luna, dulce de leche, coffee, yogurt, jam, cereal and juice. A simple place with a good price for Ushuaia.

Despite its name, this isn't what North Americans consider a hostel. All the rooms are separate, with baths n suite. Our room was spotless. the linens were high quality. The window opened onto a small rose garden. The staff were helpful. Most spoke English but welcomed Spanish -- even our Tex Mex variety.
