Hotel in zona Alakalufes Studio - Ushuaia Training, Ushuaia

The hotel is perfectly located, the rooms are comfortable and the staff is super friendly. It is very clean and nice. The breakfast is nothing special but the coffee is great. You can hear any noise from the corridor - however, it is generally OK and not noisy. Check out is at 10am but you can leave your luggage in the storeroom next to the reception. The location is really great, you have shops and restaurants at walking distance which was the most important for us.

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.

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.

In sintesi, servizio orribile. Siamo andati al bar lì due volte. Il primo giorno abbiamo ordinato un succo appena spremuto e ci sono voluti più di 40 minuti per farlo, in qualche modo hanno dimenticato il nostro ordine. Abbiamo pensato, va bene, le cose accadono a volte. Abbiamo deciso di riprovarci il giorno seguente e abbiamo ordinato un caffè e un succo di frutta fresco, ancora una volta abbiamo aspettato più di 40 minuti per il nostro ordine. Quando ho chiesto se potevamo prendere il caffè mentre aspettavamo il succo, hanno detto di no...

A smaller hotel, but conveniently located and helpful staff. Smaller room and bathroom, but I spent little time there so it mattered little. I was able to easily walk everywhere in town I needed to go, and it wasn't too far up the hill. Staff were always helpful, from calling a cab to dinner recommendations to loaning me a plug adapter (Type I - thre prong - I only had C and I don't believe the outlets in the room were dual). Breakfast was simple but good.

The hotel took me back to my university days! It had many of the features of a student residence ie the common parts are very worn and shabby and the rooms very basic. The room had 2 single beds on wheels so if you sat on the bed to read the bed moved. The ac didn’t really function so the room was unbearably hot. The obvious answer was to open the window but opposite the hotel is some form of local market that plays extremely loud music until 10pm then the locals on motorbikes trailing up and down the road take over. On the positive side the staff were helpful and polite and the hotel is very well located.

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.

Inizialmente, ci piaceva l'alloggio, dal trattamento del personale fino alla tranquillità e sicurezza in cui si trova, si sente davvero come a casa sua. La colazione non è male, ma ciò che mi fa sconvolgere è la mancanza di comunicazione tra i responsabili e il personale di servizio, è indonabile che non ci siano uova nel colazione perché non comprano il responsabile o che non offrono pane senza tacch perché vengono loro Ha dimenticato di farlo uscire dal freezer, è un peccato e un altro punto contro sono le camere, le lenzuola e le mutandine hanno bisogno urgente di un cambiamento.

L'hotel è molto situato, dieci minuti a piedi al porto, molto conveniente per tutti i tipi di visite locali.Tre minuti a piedi al famoso ristorante cinese Bamboo. Tutti i negozi della strada principale sono disponibili.La stanza è grande, una stanza è in grado di cucinare e lavare, e non c'è lavatrice. La colazione è semplice, le finestre della stanza sono troppo brillanti, tutti gli altri sono buoni. L'hotel ha dato una stanza che si sedeva sul cappello alto del porto ogni giorno, portando un caffè, guardando il ghiaccio della montagna di neve lontana, le navi da corsa in tutto il mondo entrano e escono, il rotondo vola, il tempo è così fluido.Molto artistico. E'bene vivere un giorno piu'prezzo, e'bello vivere un giorno piu'.
