“Good but Basic Hotel”

This was a good but very basic hotel. The rooms were small but clean, and it was a good value. It was up a steep hill from any attractions. The main highlight was the great view from the top floor, where a light breakfast was served.

“Sleepless in Ushuaia”

Convenient location, only 2 blocks uphill from the main tourist street. Be aware of the steepness of Ushuaia as it may explain why cheaper accommodation is further up the hill. Hotel is very dated yet hot water was excellent. Very clean and good complimentary wifi. Downside if your room (like mine)… Plus

Convenient location, only 2 blocks uphill from the main tourist street. Be aware of the steepness of Ushuaia as it may explain why cheaper accommodation is further up the hill. Hotel is very dated yet hot water was excellent. Very clean and good complimentary wifi. Downside if your room (like mine) is near reception, front door or the stairwell (3 level hotel) as this place hosts large tour groups as it's a circus except between 2.30- 4.30am and after check out time 10am. My requeqt to change rooms on day 2 of 4 night stay was declined but a later check out to request to catch up on much needed sleep was acceptwd after detailing my situation in an email. Reception staff make little or no effort to keep voices down after 10pm. There's no tea/coffee facility or bar fridge only an electric kettle up on level 3 where breakfast is served. It consists of cheese, ham, jams, butter, toast, sweet (facturas) and savoury pastries (bizcochos) , 1 cereal and usually choice of 1 fruit. If you need breakfast before 7.30am you must self cater the day before. Breakfast room (which you can access throughout the day) has great view over the channel although nearby construction currently involves breaking of bedrock which can be heard within the hotel. I'm unsure of when it's due to finish. I'm unsure if I'd stay again despite the location and price. Having 24hr reception was a double edged sword.
