Great place to meet people. Cooking facilities are fantastic so save a bit of cash and cook...... Staff really helpful, loads to see and do around Ushuaia, 3/4 days good amount of time to stay...... Room 4 is the noisiest as its next to the only route to the bathroom so in the night you hear both doors go.... Otherwise absolutely perfect.....

Hostel Antartica did everything we needed. It had good size rooms, a big kitchen and chill out area and a computer. The bathrooms are downstairs which isn´t a problem, but they are fairly communal. Everything was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Breakfast was fairly decent as well. Also if you book via hostelworld or get south you get free laundry which is great.

Nice, very quiet, relaxing hostel. No party! Large common sofa area, with kitchen on the 2nd floor like a gallery. Best showers in my 9months of travels! Poor security: dorms in remote aisle behind the kitchen, bathrooms on a different floor => long way through entire hostel between dorms and bathrooms => easy for fellow traveller thieves to know you are gone and be warned before you are back (had stuff stolen in dorm while 5min in the toilet downstairs). good wifi in entire hostel!

Excellent hostel, Emma at reception was really helpful with organising tours and information. The dorm rooms are very spacious with large lockers, and the layout with open lounge and dining area make it easy to meet people. Bathrooms downstairs were not a big issue. Would stay there again.

This place is awesome. Book here if available! The staff is extremely nice and hospitable, and they also have laundry service (one free service if booked via hostelworld). The showers also are great as the showerheads are massive.

Great atmosphere, and helpful, welcoming staff. Nice and warm, and plentiful breakfast. Would definitely recommend it. (Thanks, too, for loan of the bike.)

Staff were very friendly and helpful. And with a Hostelworld booking I received one free laundry service which was great! One thing I would recommend to staff is to oil the door hinges, especially the one to the communal kitchen! I shared the room right beside the kitchen and it squeaked all night.

Excellent. Big, open kitchen, very clean. Extremely helpful and courteous staff. Nice big storage lockers in the room to lock things up. The whole place was open and inviting. Very comfortable.

Really nice hostel, the common area is large and creates a great atmosphere as does the nice kitchen area above. The rooms were nice and clean. The staff were really helpful.

This hostel is a wonderful place to rest from trekking and to refill some energy. You can spend the whole day chilling in the lounge reading books, planning your next trips or just listening relaxed music. The staff is so friendly! And there is a huge breakfast - coffee, fresh bread, fresh eggs etc. Try to get a bed in here!

Only complain was that the beds sink in the middle, otherwise everything is perfect. Wifi is strong but only works in the lobby. Location is on the edge of the main drag but luckily not up any hills, would prefer to stay at Freestyle, which I did for one day as the beds are better. Oh and breakfast isn't strict, finishes at 11 or 12! Staff are amazing and so friendly. Easy to meet people and free laundry if you book through hostel world!
