Ushuaia The Mountain Hotel in Arinsal

Amazing always stay here

Great staff -mainly the hard working Argentinians and columbians and a few Spaniards who work here. The food quality is fantastic for a four star hotel. The rooms are of good size particularly the junior suite. Reception may be slightly understaffed however they very polite and very caring. The prices for the drinks in the bar and the restaurant is very reasonable. There is a significantly large car park at the front A main attraction is also the fact that there’s a ski rental shop in the building and further the bus especially stops there when you are transferring from abroad using the bus system and further you could ski in and out of the hotel literally. This is our second visit here and we are delighted that the standards are still high and has not dropped at all. A special thanks to Santiago and Fran in reception and the waiters in the restaurant a

The hotel itself I cannot fault! It’s picture perfect as advertised and the location is spot on for access to the lifts; especially when you’re a few days in and don’t want to keep lugging your skis into the town! The hotel has a ski rental shop situated right outside the hotel entrance and the staff were incredibly helpful; get there early!!!. The rooms are decorated to modern taste with super comfy beds with any extras you could need to make your stay comfortable. The hotel has a spa (hot tub, steam room and sauna) you can book into which was perfect after a long day of skiing; or falling over in my case. It’s about a ten minute walk into town, though be warned, it’s quite a tiring trek walking back up the hill to the hotel. Thankfully there is a free bus service until certain times running from the hotel and back. For those who miss this service, you can catch the towns bus service down and back up for about 1 euro 80 each way (tip, always have cash as the bus service doesn’t accept card). It’s a life saver when you’re tired out and runs until about 9pm. My only complaint about this hotel is the restaurant. We had breakfast and dinner included in our stay and the food was average at best. When you see a microwave located next to the serving bar, it made sense when all the food is either cold or mildly warm. I remember lifting up the serving lid on spaghetti and the spaghetti was stone cold! When I highlighted this, they said they turned off the heaters and it needed to be turned back on. That’s not very helpful when you’re hungry and just want to eat. The food choices are just ‘ok’ , if you’re vegan or vegetarian like me, there’s barely anything to accommodate this. I also seen nothing for those who require gluten free options. Perhaps you needed to ask for this, but even so, I wouldn’t expect anything that would coincide with the four stars this hotel has. The restaurant was fairly empty most of the time and I think this is why. The restaurant staff were helpful, but never seemed that cheery in doing so. I think you can order different food from the bar downstairs but that kind of defeats the object of having food included in your stay. I will say, no matter what time you arrive or leave, the hotel will happily prepare you a breakfast to take with you to the airport, or when arriving late like we did, they sent food to our room. Again though, no dietary requirements were taken and I ended up with meat options on both occasions; this could be my fault for not stating this on arrival, though I’m not sure this would have made much of a difference. Would we return?! YES! Just with the understanding that we would be eating out most nights. A tip, I’m a beginner at skiing and some of the run colours were questionable!! One green run and the blue runs, well, you will certainly be faced with some vertical drops!! Still, at least I mastered the snow plow well!

Very happy with our stay at the Ushuaia Mountain Hotel. Excellent value for money - good size, modern rooms, a nice spa, and excellent buffet with a wide choicebof quality food options for breakfast / dinner. The staff were always really friendly and helpful and there is even a kids club with activities laid on every evening. The hotel is located at the foot of the ski lift with a nice run down so you can literally ski home to the bar for a beer. Nice !
