Antarctica Hostel

We came to Ushuaia for several days and based our stay out of Antarctica Hostel. We had a great experience and found the staff to be extremely pleasant and helpful; they can provide all the information needed: local money exchange, hiking trails, etc. The hostel itself is well laid out. The upstairs kitchen is very spacious—plenty of room to pull out a laptop if needed, and it has great views of the mountains in the distance. Downstairs offers another common area with sofas. We really appreciated that there is a very social scene here without it being a loud 'party hostel.' The location is excellent, just a block from a grocery store, which was perfect for grabbing snacks for making sandwiches for our hikes or picking up a few bottles of wine. The stay includes good Wi-Fi throughout and a basic, yet good breakfast. If you are in Ushuaia, I highly suggest this hostel.

I enquired the hostel laundry service and was told to drop them off in the morning. Here was the conversation in the morning: Me: here is the laundry, can I pick them up tonight Staff: no Me: what no Staff: no Me: why did you say no Staff: no full Me: but I asked yesterday night Staff: no Me: this is very disorganized and you guys promised me Staff: go somewhere else Me: where can I go Staff: not my problem Me: yes it is your responsibility becuase you promised me for the service and now you need to find me alternatives Staff: nearby Me: show me on the map Staff: (point to random places on the map) Me: you need to slow down, show me exactly where I can go Staff (became extremely annoyed by me and pinned two places that were closed on Google maps) Me: this place is very disorganized Staff: (screaming and yelling at me in Spanish for a min). In English, get out of my hostel, go, leave Not sure where the miscommunication came from. I'm glad that I have another accordmation booked the next day already. I didn't feel safe and left right away and checked in to the hotel early. Fortunately the next hotel was very kind and helpful to me.

Very good location, hot showers, laundry service … and very friendly and helpful staff. Major kudos to Brian - always smiling, knowledgeable, helpful. He should be given a raise. The only suggestion is don’t put peas in the morning breakfast eggs. Peas in eggs - yukk !!

Really enjoyed my stay here! Beds are comfortable with large thick duvets and shelves with plugs, though top bunk has no barrier and the ladders can be tricky. Large lockers with space on top for belongings. One of the best hostel kitchens I’ve used - always clean and very well stocked with equipment. I appreciated the vegetarian fridge though this wasn’t always adhered to. Breakfast was good. Showers were always hot and the bathroom had extra toiletries for guests. Well located just a few minutes walk from the harbour and Main Street.

Lovely hostel, the chap doing the afternoon to evening service was really lovely and super helpful (and had good banter!) - he even gave me some medicine to help me with my cold. Sadly I never caught his name but I wish him all the best!

Good value given that everything in Ushuaia is pricey. Friendly helpful staff team. Simple but decent breakfast. Good showers, and all very clean. Great location. I recommend .

Top rated hostel in Ushuaia for a reason! The rooms are clean and adequately heated, large cabinets for storage of bags in each room, warm showers, clean bathrooms, and helpful staff for booking excursions. Minor things: The included breakfast is a great perk, just the coffee is awful. Lots of nice cafes in the area though. The walls are quite thin, can hear noises from other rooms ( I used ear plugs). The social areas are great, but would be nice if the hostel hosted an organized meet and greet to bring people together? Maybe it was just the time I was there, but there didn’t seem to be much inter-mingling until my last night. Overall: I enjoyed my stay and absolutely recommend this hostel.

Great hostel!! The staff is very helpful, extremely friendly and can give advice on behalf of tours and things to do in and the surrounding area of Ushuaia. The showers and bathrooms are clean like the rooms as well!! There is a breakfast which is very basic but it’s enough. The only thing which could be improved is that there are no possibilities to store personal belongings right next to the bed. There are also only a few sockets in the rooms. However the lockers are big enough. Otherwise very nice and during my stay highly social with communal cooking. Highly recommended!!

Great place, nice rooms, everything extremely clean and neat, and the brekfast is superb. Enjoyed my skiing trip too much.
