The Good stuff Great views from rooms, and it's a moving view with all the ships leaving port, even if you just had trees out your room window, great views over Ushuaia, airport and harbour from common areas such as bar, restaurant. Friendly staff, even the ones who speak limited English always keen to help. Beds are comfortable. Internet was really fast and reliable Food is nice and reasonably priced in the bar (around what you pay for bar or takeaway food in tourist places in Ushuaia). There is also a restaurant which I didn't use, except for with the included breakfast, which is a buffet type of arrangement. Has bacon, eggs, various bread, pastries, cereal, juice, the standard stuff. There's some nature trails next to hotel that take you to other hotels through forest with creeks and the like. Bad stuff The location that gives you those trails and views, well it's about a ten minute drive to Ushuaia. The hotel is located in the mountains behind the town. So if you don't have a car because you're on a tour that for some reason doesn't grasp the concept most people want to stay in the towns if they haven't been to a place before, well you've got to rely on the free shuttle (a van). It leaves from town 9:30am, 11:30am, 12:30pm, 4pm (yep big gap in there), 6pm and 8pm. It leaves for town (to the wharf area) from the hotel at 8am, 10am, midday, 3:30pm (another huge gap), 5:30pm and 7:30pm. Doesn't open for your paid for with room price breakfast until 7am. This is a pretty late time to eat breakfast. Especially when you consider the astronomical amount of day tours (front of hotel is like a bus station in the morning), people with early flights or who are boarding ships to Antarctica. On checkout day the tour I was on had a 6am pickup to the airport, I enquired if we get breakfast we paid for somehow. Was told you can order a picnic lunch from bar, and I asked if this was complementary, and was told oh no you have to pay for it. Likewise you pay theme park/airport prices for laundry. You have to pay per item and not the standard one price for whatever fits in a laundry bag (a load) that you get in most places. Or even per kg. But per item. Underwear is $2USD. Socks $2USD. T-shirt $3USD. Sweater $6. For the ladies a dress is somehow $12. And if you want anything ironed on top of that items range from $2 to $10 to be what they call pressed. The hotel does have a good hairdryer in the walk in wardrobe, except it is attached by a chord to the wall so you've got to stand in there to dry your underwear or whatever after washing it in the sink. For some reason though the coat hangers are permanently attached to the rod in the walk in wardrobe, so you can't hang stuff to get the sunlight through the window or something and minimise the hairdryer time. The shower is not only in a bath (bad enough) but the holder thing the shower hose sits in tilts the head so it sprays all over the floor (since there is a really little ba
