Hostel Yakush Reviews

Hostel Yakush has a relaxed atmosphere and is located in the centre of Ushuaia. The reception is staffed twenty-four hours a day with friendly and competent staff. It is clean and although the hostel is quite at night, it can get a bit loud, as it is located on the main street of a lively city.

The Location

The hostel is located right in the centre of Ushuaia on the main street and only about ten minutes' walking distance from the main bus station. There are lots of shops around, mostly touristy but also fast food places and everything else one could need. The next large supermarket is ten minutes' walk away.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The rooms are generous with bunk beds and a large locker (bring a lock) for each bed. There are no night lights and only a couple of electrical sockets. The beds are sturdy and don't squeak, and the mattresses are comfy. Rooms are clean and have lots of light.

Bathrooms are a bit cramped with three toilets, three showers, and a row of wash basins for the ladies. The showers are only separated from the rest of the bathroom with a curtain and there is no space to put your clothes and towel during the shower. There is a small bench on one side, but there's only enough space on it for one person's towel and clothes. The bathrooms are clean and the water is hot with good water pressure.

Common Spaces

The kitchen is well equipped and has a large dining area. Everything is clean and well taken care of. Cooking is only allowed at certain times of the day, but the hours are not unreasonable. There is a shelf and a large fridge available to store groceries. There are three common areas with couches and chairs to relax and a book exchange. Wi-Fi works well throughout the hostel. This is not a party hostel, but a relaxed hostel where you can meet other travelers.

Summary

Hostel Yakush is a clean and relaxed place right in the centre of Ushuaia with competent staff and within easy walking distance of the bus terminal and a supermarket. It even offers a generous complimentary breakfast spread and the staff are super helpful when trying to figure out different tours and will help with booking.
