“Friendly but like a Backpackers”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

Perfect for young trekkers or backpackers but definitely not what one would expect from a hotel. We couldn't turn the heating down and it was EXTREMELY UNBEARABLY HOT so we had to sleep all night with the window wide open and thus in a draught of very cold air.

The rooms are down below street level and so with no life you have to struggle with your cases down a very narrow metal staircase like you would have in a firehouse and back up again when you are leaving.

Staff was friendly but it was very basic accommodation. It was located up the very steep roads from the main street and so we were tired walking back up to the hotel. I wouldn't stay here again.

Room Tip: Choose a hotel near the main street if you can

“A bit too expensive”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2010

We found this a relatively expensive hotel. We stayed at room A at the front side of the hotel. This room was pretty big and had a nice bathroom. The furniture however was more simple than minimalistic. The room was a bit noisy and after taking a shower half of the bathroom floor was covered in water. Breakfast was nice and from the breakfast room there were great views. After one night we decided to leave the hotel, because we figured the price was too high compared to other places.

“Macondo makes you feel like home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2010

Macondo is the place to stay if you are looking for the best in every sense.
The crew was always willing to help me in anything I needed. They have a lot of tourism information and they put me in contact with the best agencies. They were always worried about my well-being, if it was cold they offered me tea, for example.

The place has a great location since it is 2 blocks away from the center. Even though it is near the center it is a quite place, perfect for rest and relax. It has a great view of the channel.

The rooms are equipped with everything I needed, or maybe more: TV, bathroom, very comfortable bed, lots of space in the bedroom and in the bathroom.

I have to talk separately about the breakfast, because it is a whole subject: 2 types of cereals, 2 types of bread, cheese, ham, yogurt, milk, hot water, tea, juice, different types of cakes everyday, fruits.

I don't know about other hotels/hostals rates but I found that what I payed was totally worth it.

Macondo made my stay in Ushuaia unforgettable

“Good choice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 March 2010

We stayed in Ushuaia in February and found it difficult to find an affordable place to stay, as Ushuaia is not cheap! Macondo house wasn’t the cheapest place to stay, but it did offer a decent sized room with WIFI, a good breakfast and a common room with a great fireplace and a lovely view on the city of Ushuaia and the Beagle canal. Macondo house is situated a couple of blocks from the main street, so everything is within walking distance. The friendly staff made sure that we enjoyed our stay. Definitely recommended!

“Small and cosy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We spent three nights. Our room at the first floor had a very nice view on the Beagle Canal, it was big and comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful, breakfast abundant and good.
They only should take care of some details, as the hotel seems getting a little old and needs something to get changed, like the rooms doors and windows which do not close well and the noises coming from the hall of the hotel or outside can be heard very clearly. For this reason it could be cheaper.
Nevertheless, it is a very nice place to stay, the position is perfect, just out of the busy area of the town. We liked very much the atmosphere.
