Good location with either view of glacier or beagle channel. Walking distance to most restaurants and shuttles to trails.

We had a brilliant stay at La vela. Everything was great: easy check in, huge apartment which was clean and comfy with everything you need, great location close to buses and town. We would recommend for anyone looking for somewhere to stay, we wish we had longer!

The space was very nice and clean! Had a good location.
The hotel itself was clean and the staff was professional. The service was exceptional and the location was great. The breakfast buffet was very good but it's the view that will be remembered.
It was a beautiful place- comfortable beds- great views!! Thank goodness our airport uber stopped at the main office to get the key and waited for us- cause it was a bit of drive to then get to the La Vela. But definitely worth it!! Would definitely stay there again!

Very comfortable bed, easy check-in, friendly and helpful staff.
This is a good and ideal place to stay when in Ushuaia. The only problem is check in process is at a different location. Slight inconvenience in my opinion.

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.

Once you work out how the radiators work, comfortable room/studio, well equiped, good breakfast with a fantastic view in the nearby hotel.
It is a bit of a struggle with the suitcases and the check-in in a nearby hotel, but not a deal breaker. Special thanks to Angie at the front desk for all the help.
