I totally agree with the last review - this is definitely NOT a 5-star hotel, and maybe there are better alternatives in Ushuaia. The carpeting is old, decoration is completely old fashioned (think plexiglass and brass put together); there is no minibar in the room - a tray holding 2 sodas and 2 bottles of water accounts for it. If you want these cold, you need to ask staff to bring you some ice. The breakfast buffet leaves a lot to be desired, specially if compared to any 4 (not 5...) star hotel.
On the good side, the rooms are spacious and quiet, and so is the bathroom; everything seems pretty clean, though old. The view from the room is spectacular (see photo), and the El Martial glacier is at walking distance (20 mins). Staff is a plus-plus -very friendly and helpful, from the desk attendant to the bar and restaurant waiters. The restaurant, El Martial, is quite good, and not overpriced. If I ever went back to Ushuaia, I would consider other options, but would not discard going back there again.

This is definitely not a 5-star hotel. Staff is very friendly, the view is very nice but.... * do two cans of coke without a fridge on the room * really old fashioned design of the rooms * really nothing special in the rest of the service add up to this price?!
Hotels like this can only survive with a price like this when there is little competition. Hotel is also 10 min by taxi out of town. But because of that you have the nice view. A personal preference yes or no.

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.
