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.

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 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

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!
