Cruz del Sur Hostel Reviews

Best Best Best Best hostel in Ushuaia! Such a fun and welcoming atmosphere with great people. Two guys run the hostel and they're great to talk to (they only speak spanish.) It's very close to the port and has transport available for all the activities in Ushuaia. If your'e going to the end of the world, stay here!

Great location, Ushuaia is a great place to visit and this hostel is close to all the activities. Staff helped out with bookings and recommendations, but be prepared to speak some Spanish. The rules posted on every surface were a bit off putting and the staff hovered around way too closely at times.

Very nice hostel. Extremely organized. Staff speaks no English but is helpful and friendly.

Semi friendly staff, some spoke english. Really nice atmosphere. Some beds were really shaky and book in advance to get a bottom bunk, which are more stable. Great co travellers were there..

The 2 sisters of the staff are just the most gentle, nice and sweet girls I ever met!

An amazing hostel to stay in. It feels like an European hostel in Latin America. Staff is amazing and super welcoming all the time, they worry a lot about cleaning the areas, which makes other guests keep it tidy too. Breakfast is surprisingly good - always fresh bread, many diff types of marmelade and dulce de leche, juice, coffee, tea, milk, cereal. The kitchen is complete, so it is appropriate to cook pretty much anything. Everything is colourful. It is well located, right in the centre!

Very nice hostel, very clean with helpful staff.

If you wish to recreate the atmosphere of the prison museum down the road, then this is the place for you. We were forewarned about the signs, but this place was covered in them. Obviously the best time to close the showers and toilets for an hours cleaning is in the morning when everyone needs to use them. The staff were either surly or looked like their soul had been beaten out of them with a "no eating" sign. Not all bad: free hair dryers, warm rooms and nice wifi room, when open. Strict.

Very clean hostel, nice vibe, ooenlinded peoole. Love the living room!

Place had a lot of personality. Seemed to be very lively and active and it is a great place to meet and talk to people. I really liked the nice and warm living room area, it was a great place to just hang out and relax. The two girls running the place, the nieces of the owner, were very nice (their from Buenos Aires) and were great for conversation. The fact that there are rules posted all over the place is a bit off-putting, but most of them were just common sense things.

The girls from the staff were really helpful and provided many useful information, arranged trips for us and thanks to their hospitability the atmosphere in the hostel was great. It was a pleasure to stay at this hostel. Girls - good luck and many thanks! Tres chicas de Polonia :) :)

good stay but the breakfast is starting at 8h30. a bit late.

Great atmosphere. Staff is great, they try to make your stay as convenient as possible, in my case by sorting out a bed late at night even though all beds were already booked. They have good facilities i.e. internet, wifi, laundryservice and book any trip or taxi, even last minute. Very clean place as well! There might be a lot of signs up in the rooms, but it helps to keep the place running as it is. The best place to meet other travellers! Would definitely recommend!

We had a good stay in this hostel. The staff gave us tips for tours and was really friendly and helpful. However, the kitchen was really dirty.

I stayed in the hostel for couple of days and within my travelling I found it the best one! The girls at the reception are VERY helpful and nice, they clean the whole area all the time, so it is VERY clean in here, the decoration makes you feel like at home, you meet a lot of fellows from around the world,it is common to cook and chat together here, I simply love and FULLY recommend this place. Whatever problem I had, these girls were able to solve. And Extra effort was needed. THANK YOU ALL!

clostrophobic rooms..

the place is not clean but spotless, the two girls are really taking care about the place and are more like mummys, which also means that there is A LOT of rules you have to follow and your shoes will be checked to be clean when you enter the hostel ;) there is just anything you need including all the information about things to do in Ushuaia. Only thing that we didn't like is that the kitchen is closed til 8.30h so you can't have a quiet breakfast when leaving for tours at 8.45h or 9h

Very good hostel, nice staff and good people

We ended up only staying a 1 night but was overall good place to stay. As many other reviews have pointed out there are a number of rules posted but if you are a contentious traveller you will barely notice. The staff are a little direct which some could find rude, but otherwise very helpful and informative. Rooms were cosy and warm with lockers under each set of beds. We liked the little outdoor den where there was wifi. Only complaint was kitchen was too small for the amount of guests

I only stayed here for one night. I found the staff unhelpful, and the overly advertised rules off putting. The time restrictions on use of the kitchen, and a late breakfast were also a hindrance. That said, the beds were comfy, the showers were hot and clean and the lockers were good. The wifi only works in the common rooms (not dorms), and it was so busy when I was there there was no space in the common areas to sit down. I wouldn't stay again, but for the money you pay, it is a decent hostel.
