Compare 3 airports near Ushuaia
For the vast majority of travelers, Ushuaia - Malvinas Argentinas International Airport (USH) is the only practical gateway to Ushuaia, as it is the only airport located within the city itself. It handles the bulk of domestic tourist traffic and offers the most efficient, cost-effective transfers directly to downtown hotels. In contrast, Rio Grande Airport (RGA) is located in a completely different city, Rio Grande, requiring a long three-hour drive across the island via National Route No. 3; it is generally only considered by travelers who find significantly cheaper airfares or have specific business in Rio Grande. Guardiamarina Zañartu Airport (WPU) is also not in Ushuaia and serves a different region entirely, making it a poor choice for those visiting Ushuaia. Travelers should prioritize arriving at USH to save significant time and transportation costs. When navigating these options, always verify your flight destination code carefully, as flying into the wrong city on the island can add hours of unexpected travel time to your journey.

Hotel location is very good, 10 minutes walk to the pier, very convenient to participate in various local tours. 3 minutes walk to the famous local Chinese restaurant Bamboo. The various shops on the main street are within walking distance. The room is large, one room and one living room, and you can cook, there is no washing machine. Breakfast is simple, the curtains in the room are slightly shading, and the others are very good.
The hotel gave a room facing the pier, sitting on the high foot stool by the window every day, holding a cup of coffee, watching the snowy mountains and glaciers in the distance, cruise ships from all over the world come in and out, clouds roll clouds fly, time passes like this. Very literary feeling.
Living for a day is more expensive, and staying for a few more days is good.FromUS$165

The hotel is located halfway up the mountain, overlooking the whole city of Ushuaia. The restaurant is very high, the price is equal to the city's net red restaurants, and the service is better than ordinary restaurants. There is a direct water dispenser in the corridor, the room faces the city under the mountain, very close to the glacier, about five kilometers away from the city by taxi.FromUS$180

The location of this hotel is about ten minutes from the center of the main street, on the west side of the town. But the interior is good, the room is large and has an electric kettle and refrigerator. Stayed here for two days and the front desk changed three people. The first girl was very good and helpful, helped me follow up the travel booking work, and kept updating the situation through social software.
The hotel does not have a sea view, but the price is quite high.FromUS$97

The reception staff was friendly and communicative. The room door opened with an electronic code. The heating was adequate.
Small inconveniences: The water from the shower came out irregularly, sometimes hot and sometimes cold, and there was only one bathtub.
The breakfast was continental American, mainly bread, simple and normal, with little variety.FromUS$78

The location is far from the main lively streets, and on the mountain, going down the mountain is easy, and going up the mountain is hard. But the room is small and beautiful, but it is a pity that the toilet flushing is prone to non-stop water flow. It is often inconvenient to ask housekeepers to deal with it. Besides, I didn’t tell us where to take the drinking water, which is very inconvenient.FromUS$92
