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.

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.

Excellent location. In the main street, free shop, restaurants, souvenirs, clothes, excursions, everything at hand. 2 squares of the port. It has a connection with a pizza, very rich, where breakfast is also served. The hotel is very comfortable and very comfortable. The rooms we knew (we were several people) are comfortable. The hotel has no cars, but it can be parked free of charge in several places, two squares on the coast or on the streets of the coast or parallel. Parking is prohibited.

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.

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.

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.

I prepaid for 2 nights (to save $) but only stayed one. The bottom line is that someone was rooting around in my room and the hotel staff showed zero concern about it.  The full story: I stopped at the hotel before dinner and found my room had been cleaned (btw, no 'do not disturb' option). Otherwise all was well. When I returned from dinner, someone had been in my room - stuff was moved and the TV was on. I immediately told the front desk, and she offered to have the cameras checked the following day. I insisted that they be checked immediately, to which she tried to call an administrator but got no answer. There was no offer to give me a different room or any other show of concern so I asked for a refund (also required an administrator) and left.  No way I was staying there with no idea who was in my room or why.  I booked through hotels.com who assured me that was unacceptable and that they'd sort out my refund... but had to contact the hotel administrators first. First, it'd only take them half an hour to review the cctv. Half an hour later? Nothing. The next day - they needed another hour. I gave them 2. It was Saturday and the right people wouldn't be in until Monday. After all of that, my refund was denied with no explanation.  I still have no idea who was in my room or why, but I'm so glad I had all my valuables with me (no safe in the room).  PS. I only asked for a refund of the 2nd night, which I thought was pretty darn reasonable given how bad the first night was: First off: NO WIFI.  It existed but didn't actually work - got maybe 10 minutes of checking email before it died.  The hotel is under construction. My room had exposed fuses and no patio railing. But there also was no doorknob on the patio door so... yeah.  There were construction supplies on the patio wrapped in plastic that whipped around in the wind all night. Very noisy. And cold - no thermostat in the room and only a thin (stained) blanket provided. They stupidly chose to install soaking tubs instead of normal bathtubs. They look nice, but the bottom isn't flat at all. I'm 34yo with fantastic balance (paddleboarding and ice hockey) and my shower almost killed me. The beds are hard with limp pillows. Breakfast is supposed to stop at 10am but they stop putting out new food around 9am so by 9:30 your options are dry toast and/or lunch meat. They also aren't flexible about this at all - overhear an older woman seeing if they could eat 10 min early as they were doing a tour - denied.  My new hotel gave me the option to open breakfast early or pack me a lunch when I told them I'd have to check out before breakfast started.   If you choose to book here in spite of all this, also be aware that the name on the front of the building is something about being a hotel at the end of the world. I almost didn't go in just because I wasn't sure I was in the right place at all.

The hotel is perfect, the location is excellent, the room is large and comfortable and the breakfast is plentiful. You can feel it is good service but you don’t have to ask them for anything as they all consider you ahead.

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
