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.

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!

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.

La Vela is a great place. Very clean and modern However its a real problem when you have to drag your luggage from check-in to the actual property. Also you have to to other buiiding for breakfast. Again if you have luggage your shlepping your luggage up and down concrete steps and sidewalks that

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!

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.

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.
