The Las Hayas (The Beeches) hotel is situated high on a hill just outside of town with a stunning view of the harbor and mountains.
It is easily the finest hotel in Ushuaia and the manager is both affable and helpful.

the rooms are clean if somewhat staid as is the rest of the hotel

The included buffet breakfast is standard but not exceptional

The hotel will not change currency, all such transactions must be carried out in town at either a crowded exchange office or bank.
Taxi fares from the hotel to the town center are quite low (about two dollars)

Only one bathrobe is supplied per room but another may be ordered from housekeeping.

There is a fitness center and an excellent massage at the center.

The hotel is located high on a hillside, overlooking the little town of Ushuaia. The view was nice, however, the hotel itself seemed a bit overpriced and run down.

The staff was very nice in checking us in, calling for taxis and making suggestions for activities.

The room, however, was a disaster (see photo). The floor-to-ceiling pink roses were atrocious, the bed was hard as a rock and the shower floor was slippery polished marble, almost resulting in disaster. The view was pretty nice, but if you are not in a room with a view, all you are left to look at is the horrible decor (apparently they also have green and blue rooms, not sure if a color change would have helped).

The complimentary breakfast buffet was not fantastic either, the only hot choices being eggs and bacon (both lukewarm). For $315/night I would explore the alternatives.

We have been to Ushuaia and it is great for skiing.
An average meal for 1 with local regular wine will cost approximately U$ 15 to 25.

We called the day before we arrived in Ushuaia to reserve a triple room at this hotel. We were quoted a rate per night. The next day I received an email from the hotel stating that there would be an extra charge for our child of $85 pesos per night. The night before I specifically asked for a quote for a Triple Room, 2 adults and 1 child. The hotel agreed that they had made a mistake, but they would not honor the quote. The hotel management was never available to discuss the problem. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. The staff is nice, but they do not speak very good English, so they also made a mistake on our excursion to see Penguins. We were told we would be picked up at the hotel, and at the last minute we were told to take a taxi (at our own expense) to the pier. Once again they had made a mistake, but I had to pay for transfer to and from boat. This hotel is not a luxury, 5 star property. If they were, they would treat their customers with more respect. The rooms are nice, but not worth the price. When you pay $250 plus USD you expect luxury service and accomodatiions. Carpet in some areas has a musty smell. Most of the staff is very nice. NO MANAGEMENT in sight when problems arise. This must be the Argentine way.
