For breakfast: the kitchenware is just fine. For dinner: the kitchenware is insufficient; only one pan and a fryingpan. The shower is great and the view from 3B is excellent. The bed is comfy. Last night we had a lot of wind and the window was blown open twice.

The staff who checked us in were courteous, but my key stopped working after just one night of my stay (I booked two nights). The associate who was supposed to help me, Agustin, was very unprofessional and rude. I waited for someone to come fix the lock, but no one ever showed. I was able to finally get in the second time he sent a code to my friend (as my phone’s battery had died). But once I reached out to express my frustration with this, he was rude and belligerent. He would not stop messaging me. He never apologized, never tried to help. Also the check in and breakfast are at a different building that is a full block away - it feels untruthful to post pictures from there as that is not where we were staying. I will admit that there was a nice view from the room however. But all in all, I was not impressed and would not recommend this hotel.

While the property does mention that the pickup of the keys is at another hotel, they fail to mention that it is up a steep hill, in a not-so ideal location, and this can be unpleasant for travellers with more than one piece of luggage. They refuse to help you carry your luggage to the key pick up location.

Modern and very clean - without any fragrances like many of the other hotels. Room is like a small apartment w/ lots of area to relax. Small kitchenette for cooking if needed. Overall very good value. I was alone and felt safe. Very cute coffee shop next door that serves eggs, sandwiches and pastries. The only real down side is the check-in is on another street, so is the breakfast... Not convenient if your carrying lots of luggage. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

We stayed 3 nights at LA VELA in Room 3B. This picture shown on the website is NOT of La Vela but rather it is the lobby of the Alto Aldino hotel around the corner (this is where you check-in and check-out, and where you have breakfast if you have paid for this option). Our room was like an apartment with a large bed, living room, full kitchen with all utensils & dishes etc. The bathroom was very small (zero counter space for toiletries) but functional and clean. The view from this room was fantastic and looked out to the harbour with water views. The room had good A/C, wifi, in-room safe, and an elevator. Getting from the Alto Andino to the La Vela is very inconvenient with a steep hill upward (it was hell dragging our luggage when we checked-in). To get to breakfast every morning, we discovered the staircase (bright yellow, if you turned right as you exit the La Vela) and we used this daily. There are lots of stairs and this could be problematic if you are older or have mobility issues - in that case please stay at the Alto Andino. The breakfast on the top floor of the Alto Andino was very crowded, with decent hot/cold options and a beautiful seating area with a terrace view (great spot for photos). This town is generally super hilly so be prepared to walk up and down steep hills. Once you get down to the main harbour area, then it is flat. Lots to see and a myriad of restaurants. TIP: Remember to get to the Tourist Center and get your passport stamped.

Apartment was spacious, good bed and shower, adequate kitchen facilities. View of the harbor and Beagle Channel was very nice. Breakfast in the associated hotel (about 1 block away) was good, though scrambled eggs were a bit runny and lukewarm. Only major complaint is that the apartment is almost directly above a dance academy, which was pretty loud during 2 of the 3 nights we were there, even with the windows closed.

Modern and well-equipped apartment in the heart of Ushuahia. The bathroom can be tight and there is not a lot of space to move around or arrange toiletries. There is a dance studio next door and sometimes the music is loud well into the evening, with little to no soundproofing in the building. Other than this, it was a very enjoyable stay!

DANGEROUS WINTER CONDITIONS, NO HELP FROM STAFF — TRAVELERS BE WARNED

Check-in = A Safety Hazard
Hotel check-in is at Gobernador Félix Paz 868, but the actual rooms are located at Gobernador DeLoqui 849, which is a 600-ft walk downhill. Yes, this is noted in the booking — but what they fail to mention is the condition of the path, especially in winter. We were asked to haul our 25kg bags down a steep, icy slope in the dark, with broken pavement, uneven stairs,
If you are traveling with injuries, disabilities, older adults, or even just a large suitcase — this setup is not safe. And the hotel should be more transparent and prepared to assist.

Plus we had a waterfall leak above us that flooded our bathroom. The irony? Hotel staff could walk over from the check-in building to inspect the flood and bring towels — but apparently, not when guests needed help checking in safely. That double standard really says it all.

We reached out to Expedia for support and spoke with Omar, who was empathetic, professional, and actually cared about our safety. Huge thanks to him — he did what the hotel should have.

We were welcomed with a bottle of local wine, which was a special touch that we really appreciated. Breakfast was delicious, with options for every taste and the staff were kind and friendly. The area where the building is located feels very safe and is close to all of the tourist attractions. I highly recommend La Vela as a place to stay when visiting Ushuaia. It’s very deserving of being classed as an Expedia VIP property.

The apartment is great. The checkin is a long way from your apartment. You have to navigate steps and steep inclines to get to the entrance.
Codes worked great for the building but not the apartment. So you hike back to check in to get a lock reset. It is ok if you have two or more people but with one you need to carry bags back and forth. I really like the place yet they need to simplify the check in process. Hopefully is better for those regularly using WhatsApp. Consider getting it if you don’t have it!

It's an Option

The hotel is vary cute and charming. We stayed in the adjacent apartments that were around the corner but part of the property. As a result we felt a bit disconnected from the main property having to go outside and walk around the block for breakfast or to interact with their very helpful staff. Our apartment was adequately comfortable with minimal attention to decor. The hot water in the bathroom varied unpredictably from burning hot to cool. On the plus side, it's located in a very walkable area making it easy to access restaurants, shopping and sites.

The key collection is a hassle. You need to climb uphill to check in. Then they gave a two codes (confusing) to front door and the apartment. No way to connect from the entry door to the office if code doesn't work. You can leave the luggage at the apartment location if you arrived early and drag your luggage uphill again to check out. Minor, but annoying, no power outlets by the beds.

The staff is very helpful. They will help you store luggage or get taxis if needed. I hope they consider providing washcloths, one additional pillow per bed, and a fan to cool the room. The curtains stop you from keeping the window open and blocking the light at the same time. We couldn't figure out where it was coming from, but there must be a bar nearby that let out around 2:30 AM with shouting and singing guests. We love a party as much as anyone, but it was tough to sleep for a few hours. Breakfast is good, and location is convenient to main attractions. Our view was also spectacular.
