Hotel Monaco

Hotel Monaco provided us with a really cheap accommodation. Our room was def overdue for renovation, and we were a little concerned about cleanliness, but otherwise we were very comfortable, the WiFi worked really well and breakfast was good. The stuff at the reception was very useful, friendly and accommodating.

Hotel was clean and we got upgraded to a new room!

Great stay. Hotel room was large and clean, wifi worked well, and blackout shades helped.

Not a bad hotel located on the main street of Ushuaia, but on the night we stayed, the AC was not working, and it was on an unusually warm day. After a promise from reception desk that it was going to be repaired in a few hours, we instead woke up the next morning to NO ELECTRICITY in the whole hotel, so not only was there no AC, there was also no lights in the room (including the bathroom) nor was the elevator working. We had to drag our luggage on the fifth floor all the way down the stairs at 5am, which was onerous and noisy to say the least. The clerk did her best (including ordering a taxi for us from her personal mobile phone because the hotel's phones weren't working due to the electrical outage) but it was a total nightmare of a stay. Uncomfortable, noisy (from nearby construction as well as a rooster that decided to crow at 3am!), and a place I would avoid if you want a peaceful stay in Ushuaia.

La ventana de la habitación da como a un patio interior que està muy, muy sucio y con poca luz. Tambien hacia mucha calor en la habitación aun teniendo la calefacción a 0°.

I am a seasoned traveler who usually stays in hostels, so I rarely will stress too much about cleanliness. I know it comes down to getting what you pay for, so I don’t have high expectations when I pay a rate that’s on the lower end for the city I’m staying in- but this place was unreal. The bathroom simply hadn’t been cleaned. There were all sorts of hairs on the sink, tub, floor (I mean HUGE clusters of dirt/hair in the corner). The sheets had stains, and I saw what I believe was a flea in the bathroom that jumped in from the carpet- so probably more there that we couldn’t see. The other big point was that breakfast was not available until 7:30. I usually don’t pay attention to this because I usually won’t eat breakfast where I stay as I prefer to eat out. However, if you are in Ushuaia for a vacation you are most likely going to be going on some sort of tour for at least a day or two. No matter what you do, most tours start at 7- so you have to leave the hotel around 6:45/6:50. No big deal, right? Except there’s nowhere to get breakfast in the city at that time. It was annoying to say the least- especially when we passed multiple other hotels that had breakfast starting at 6:30 (we checked to see if the late breakfast was a normal trend for hotels in this city-nope just this place). I only can assume it is done on purpose to save on costs- especially because there is a big sign at the front desk that states there are absolutely exceptions and you cannot eat early.

Good value, great location

Dans l’hôtel Monaco je n’ai eu drouuqu’a une chambre du très ancien bâtiment alors qu’il y a un nouveau tout neuf accolé. Drap grisaille usagés, linge de toilette rêche et gris ouilles aussi. Pas de wifi dans la chambre et je devais rester dans les couloirs pour en profiter. De l’aveu de la réception, cela fonctionne beaucoup mieux dans les nouvelles chambres. Aucune possibilité de boire quoique ce soit sur place.
