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.

They will steal your credit card info.
Pros:

Overall the hotel was fine, breakfast is very basic but wasn't bad. The room had a great view and overall they were in decent shape. The one issue I have is the woman working the desk took a picture of my credit card and I objected so she said she had to have it and what do you know days latter I see charges on my card that are definitely not me. If you go here only pay cash or they will steal your credit card information.

Cons:

They stole my credit card info. I even objected and they insisted on taking a picture. Criminals run this place.

Superb
Pros:

The manager was very accommodating. We arrived early coming off a cruise. We were able to get into our room and leave our bags, go get something to eat, etc. The manager also arranged for a taxi for the following morning. In addition, he opened the breakfast room an hour early so we could eat before heading to the airport. Very personalized service.

confortable, silent and cozy place.
Pros:

Breakfast was fine, I was in a hurry so I took coffee ith milk, juice, yogurt and 2 croissants. But I also saw fruit. The shower has an excellent preasure to confort your body after a cold day. The bed was enormous. My room was at the last floor and the view was lovely, I hace a table to eat, a closet and a big TV. There is a kind of lobby at each floor where you cand sit with ypur computer or exercise in the machine. The view there is also lovely

Cons:

when I've arrived there was a strong smell of food in the lobby. I wasn't prepared for a 3 floor stairs but the view worth it!. Some construction details could be better but as I am a designer my view tends to look for them.
