Hotel Antartida Argentina

The property was a bit of a shock after staying in a really lovely hotel in another area for very similar price. The rooms we stayed in were at the very least in dire need of decoration, there was one plug socket that housed the plug for tv to use, my daughters room had expending foam blocking the fire alarm. The sheets although clean had old marks on them. On the first morning after arrival the dining room was full with not one seat available for breakfast and no seats to wait so we had to exit for a local cafe. The hotel was quite noisy generally and the street noise was very noticeable. In the middle of our stay we had some sort of disturbed / drunk ? person running around the hotel screaming for some time running up and down the floors and along corridors, quite scarey for the occupants, until police arrived to remove them screaming from the top of the property to street level being carried by 4 limbs with two officers and put in the back of police vehicle, although this is probably not the fault of the hotel, the security was obviously an open door policy, even more worrying as the key to my door was not operating properly and sometimes it took me a good 5 minutes to enter or exit the room. It definitely had an effect on our stay in Ushaia, as we were not keen to spend much time in the rooms for relaxation purposes and the weather was quite cold. Usually never complain on these review forums and only leave positive comments, but I would not recommend this hotel at all.

The property itself is in terrible condition. But the staff are so amazing, and they have done the best with what they have to work with. It's comfortable and clean as long as you have a good sense of adventure, and the location can't be beat. This was my second stay and I have no complaints.

First off, the staff are excellent. 24 hour door service and always willing to chat. The room was nice 30 years ago, but everything worked, the bed was comfortable, and you couldn't ask for a more convenient location. Slept with the windows open each night with no concerns for safety or noise. Would recommend to anyone wanting a simple place to stay during their adventures.

Clean room

Great value for what you pay for. Excellent heat and water pressure from the shower and very helpful and friendly crew running the place
