Wyndham Garden Ushuaia Hotel del Glaciar

I stayed here before embarking on a trip to Antarctica. The staff was friendly and our room felt like a room at a house instead of a cold hotel room. It’s an older hotel, but that makes it more charming. We loved sitting around the fire in the evenings. Breakfast was delicious every morning. I would definitely stay here again. It’s in such a beautiful area.

We were booked in here by the airline when our flight was canceled and we were not able to rebook so we stayed here for two nights. It is far out of the town and not walkable, but we had already spent a few days in the town so that was OK with us. The views are spectacular. I cannot say enough about how kind and helpful all the people who work here are. They answered all our questions and were just overall very kind.

After reading several reviews I was very nervous about our stay here. It was included as part of our Intrepid Antarctica trip - so I figured for a free night it couldn't be bad. I will say this is a 3* hotel at best - most definitely nothing 4* about it. We found reception to be very friendly and welcoming! Also the decor was kind of "cozy cabin" - again not upscale like you'd expect at a 4* resort. The beds were comfortable enough, but the furniture and bathrooms were definitely dated. As mentioned, there is no AC. This isn't uncommon if you're well traveled. It's not just this resort - but all of them here don't have AC. So you'll have to crack a window to cool your room. Inconvenient, yes - but it's like 40°F outside, why do you need AC? I've been to much hotter countries that don't have AC. So just be prepared for this. The restaurant was a joke. The menu was only 8 items and never changed for lunch or dinner. The price was also extremely expensive compared to what you pay in town. The continental breakfast wasn't bad. It had a decent variety of items but more of a low scale budget hotel style, nowhere near 4* level. It had hard boiled eggs, instant scrambled eggs, home fries (from frozen), some fruit, kind of stale breads and some juices, coffee and tea. The views are beautiful! But it is a 15 minute car ride to the center of town, and there is nothing else up here. Had we not already started downtown and explored for several days before relocating to this hotel I'd have been more disappointed by it's location. It does not offer any shuttle service too and from town. Overall, for a free night included in my trip I'm happy with my stay. However, I would not pay to stay here due to far cheaper, better located, and nicer options in town!
