It was a beautiful place- comfortable beds- great views!! Thank goodness our airport uber stopped at the main office to get the key and waited for us- cause it was a bit of drive to then get to the La Vela. But definitely worth it!! Would definitely stay there again!
Nice apartments, very comfortable! I will say that key collection could be smoother but it’s manageable

The hotel itself was clean and the staff was professional. The service was exceptional and the location was great. The breakfast buffet was very good but it's the view that will be remembered.

Modern and very clean - without any fragrances like many of the other hotels. Room is like a small apartment w/ lots of area to relax. Small kitchenette for cooking if needed. Overall very good value. I was alone and felt safe. Very cute coffee shop next door that serves eggs, sandwiches and pastries. The only real down side is the check-in is on another street, so is the breakfast... Not convenient if your carrying lots of luggage. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

La Vela is a great place. Very clean and modern However its a real problem when you have to drag your luggage from check-in to the actual property. Also you have to to other buiiding for breakfast. Again if you have luggage your shlepping your luggage up and down concrete steps and sidewalks that

Apartment was spacious, good bed and shower, adequate kitchen facilities. View of the harbor and Beagle Channel was very nice. Breakfast in the associated hotel (about 1 block away) was good, though scrambled eggs were a bit runny and lukewarm. Only major complaint is that the apartment is almost directly above a dance academy, which was pretty loud during 2 of the 3 nights we were there, even with the windows closed.

While the property does mention that the pickup of the keys is at another hotel, they fail to mention that it is up a steep hill, in a not-so ideal location, and this can be unpleasant for travellers with more than one piece of luggage. They refuse to help you carry your luggage to the key pick up location.

Modern and well-equipped apartment in the heart of Ushuahia. The bathroom can be tight and there is not a lot of space to move around or arrange toiletries. There is a dance studio next door and sometimes the music is loud well into the evening, with little to no soundproofing in the building. Other than this, it was a very enjoyable stay!

The apartment is very nice, clean and well furnished and the bed is so comfortable.
We stayed at the 5th floor and we had such an amazing view from each part of the apartment. Everything was just perfect!
The all staff is excellent, in particular I want to thank Angie from the reception: she has been so kind, she took care of us during all our stay ensuring everything was ok.
We will for sure come back again to Departamentos La Vela.
Muchas gracias por todo!
