Booking debería detallar la información sobre el pago.
Pros:

La ubicación es muy céntrica, la calefacción de la habitación siempre estuvo tibia y el trato amable de los trabajadores del hospedaje.

Cons:

El disgusto más va hacía ustedes, Booking, porque no detallan la forma de pago adecuada con decir "sujeto a otros pagos adicionales" no me parece suficiente. Yo seleccioné este hospedaje por 290 dólares y al llegar allá me incrementaron el 15% por el pago con tarjeta. Entiendo que hay hospedajes sencillos donde si bien aceptan pagos con tarjetas, cobran la comisión (para este caso me pareció realmente altísima, en mi país solo te incrementan el 5%). En estos casos ustedes deberían recomendar que el pago con tarjeta es un costo y en efectivo otro. De esa manera los viajeros tomamos nuestras precauciones.

Increíble
Pros:

Desde mi llegada hasta la salida siempre me trataron con amabilidad. Pedí que adelanten mis desayunos por las excursiones y no tuvieron problema. Me supieron aconsejar por lugares para visitar, para comer. Me permitieron usar las instalaciones del desayunador para cenar allí. Victoria y su hijo muy atentos a todo. Volvería sin lugar a dudas.
La habitación bien calefaccionada, amplia, cómoda, buen colchón. Baño con agua caliente y bien distribuido. La vista de la misma era hermosa. Una posada silenciosa, bien cuidada, limpia, sin olor.

Achtung Baustelle und überteuert
Pros:

Das Personal ist freundlich. Als unser Wasserhahn der Dusche im Bad nicht mehr zuzudrehen ging, erhielten wir sofort ein anderes Zimmer.

Cons:

Das Mobiliar ist in die Jahre gekommen, aus den Abflüssen im Bad roch es unangenehm. Im ersten Zimmer waren unangenehme Geräusche der Wasserpumpe.
Insgesamt war der Aufenthalt das bezahlte Geld nicht wert.
In unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft ist eine laute Baustelle, Pressluftbagger kommen zum Einsatz. Es sieht so aus, als wenn die Baustelle noch lange dort ist. Dafür kann das Hotel nichts, beeinträchtigt den Aufenthalt sehr.

Warm, friendly, caring
Pros:

This is a family owned older hostel. The family is friendly, warm, and caring. The breakfasts were excellent - ham, cheese, bread (toasted if you like), milk, orange juice, pastries, tea, and coffee. The view of the harbor was awesome, particularly at night

Cons:

The only drawback is there is no elevator. The city of Ushuaia is located on a very steep hill. Sooo, even though it’s less than a half a mile from the main drag below, consider a three dollar taxi when you’re hauling your luggage (I wish I had). A family member helped me up to the third floor with my stuff

A Well Placed Classic Euro-Gem In Upgrade Mode
Pros:

The location and the personal attention to every question, request and observation made my family feel entirely at home. We were treated to a delightful discovery of Ushuaia, Patagonia, through their services before (contacted us to assure arrival and planning started) & during our stay. Everyone of us enjoyed their favorite moments while comforted by this home away from home. All the while making sure, our plannned activities were maximized, offering personal shuttle and guide services that rivaled the crowded commercial services in town, of which we enjoyed both ways.

Cons:

The hotel has a few rough edges as an older structure that at first concerned us. However, easily resolved by a changed room for another improved one. In fact, their building updates appear to be made with modern options and care. And continuing in ongoing or planned improvements, for example, to improve ventilation during our wintertime stay.
