We stayed at the MIL810 in Ushaia for 2 nights as part of an organised trip. We had expected to stay in another hotel but it was closed due to it being the end of the Argentine winter season and we were left feeling that the MIL810, where it was a convenient place to stay did not fulfil the expectations of our trip. That aside, the hotel was well-presented, clean and the staff were exceptionally polite and helpful.

The Mil810 is set on one of the many fairly steep terraces of Ushaia town centre and is a stones throw from the main shopping street. It is a modern complex which has been decorated in the public locations (lobby etc) very nicely with stone frontages to the reception desk and a 'waterfall' feature. Beyond that, the rooms are what you would expect for a short-stay city hotel.

The room was clean and had the usual list of features. The bed was comfortable enough and the room had a television and minibar. There was an en-suite bathroom which had everything you needed though I can't recall if there was a bath. But it was far too hot! The only way to cool the room down was to open the window and that gave us a problem of noise - Argentine young men like to customise their cars as much as any others! So, with the window closed the room heated up and sleep was a bit difficult. In addition to this the walls were very thin and so our stay was further disturbed by the noises from the other guests.

I don't believe in leaving a review on a negative and hotel MIL810 has its fair share of positive points. Breakfast is taken on the 4th floor where there is a terrace if you're brave enough to step outside into the cold. This is well worth it though, so take your camera. I have some stunning shots of the harbour area and the snow-covered Argentine and Chilean mountains either side of the Beagle Channel. Breakfast was continental in style on a buffet basis and there was a good selection to choose from. We never went hungry and we didn't really stop for more than a coffee for lunch. The staff were fantastic and spoke excellent English. They were very helpful and forthcoming in recommendations of places to visit and dine at - and we weren't disappointed.

Overall, the positives win over the negatives and, if the rooms had better sound insulation and the heating was easier to control, I would have no issue in returning to the MIL810.
