8.8/10 Excellent! (158 reviews)

Stayed one night but the rooms were comfortable and well sized for a queen room. everything was clean and the hotel was quiet. front desk staff was very friendly. the price was fantastic and included a typical argentinian breakfast buffet. the hotel is up the hill, and a little outside the main downtown area. it is a short walk into the "downtown" as the city is quite small, otherwise ubers are very inexpensive.

10/10 Exceptional! (6 reviews)

Location is convenient, though a little uphill from the main parts of town. Staff were helpful when we needed to get out luggage down to the waterfront. Close by: main museum, grocery store, some eateries. Apartment very spacious with all the relevant appliances. Big windows provide views of the town and Beagle Channel (and the cat that lives next door!).
