The hotel was booked through Quark Expeditions prior to boarding our expedition ship to Antarctica. We stayed two nights, the room being very small and dated with limited space for our luggage. The bathroom was small with no shelves for the toilettes. The bed lights were very dim. Luckily the lounge area was spacious with great views of the town centre and harbour. Location was only a short walk into the town centre. The reception girl was very friendly and helpful but the male person who had the afternoon shift was not helpful at all when we requested a power adapter for the internet. Luckily the girl was on next morning and gave us the adapter without any problem. The restaurant does not open until 8 pm. The food was quite good but slow service. The breakfast was basic with no cooked food. I would properly stay only one night mainly because of the location and the views from the hotel…
I stayed here for one night before my trip to Antarctica. I found the room a bit run down, and in need of some work. The public areas looked much more modern. The staff were nice enough, but the restaurant staff were very slow and did well at avoiding people trying to get their attention. It took me about half an hour to get their attention for a drink when they would walk only 1 table away from me after delivering people their meals. The breakfast was reasonable, but I am not sure I would return here.
This hotel was pretty dismal. The room was incredibly small and barely room for luggage, walls were thin and you could hear conversation as if you were in the same room. The bathroom door didn’t close totally, the room was very hot and the shower head was horrible. I wouldn’t stay more than a night. Also if you are on the second floor you must carry luggage up stairs. Okay for one night only barely.
I was traveling on the Ocean Diamond Expedition ship and I stayed at this hotel two nights before boarding the ship. This is one of the ships that Quark Expedition uses for their guests upon arriving in Aruishia and before departing for the ship. The hotel has a beautiful lobby and beautiful view if the island and that is about it. The front desk person was extremely rude to me then I asked for towels, he did not believe me when I told him there were no drinking glasses in the room and was upset that he had to fix a broken lightbulb in the room. The next night, again the same rude staff person was upset when I asked him for towels and did not want to give me the information I needed for the ship, even though this hotel is used by Quark Expedition. Quark Expedition uses four hotels in Aruishia, and this hotel should not be one of them.…
Rooms are clean, but a bit tired and dated. Shower was poor, but otherwise bathroom was ok. Reasonably priced rates and an ok location for the main street in Ushuaia. Breakfast and restaurant were poor. Service was pleasant. All in all just a very average hotel.
