Albatros comes first on location and evening, not breakfast, and it’s the one opposite the gate. Oceanwide uses it as the landmark for the pier entrance, and Quark names it as one of the three hotels it books most often.
The evening is covered on the hotel’s own word: Prana serves dinner until 23:00. The spa, with saunas, a jacuzzi and a gym, is included in every rate — though Arakur, up on Cerro Alarkén, earns more evening points.
Albatros loses points on breakfast alone, since the buffet runs 06:30 to 10:00 and the hotel never says it’s in the rate — a gap in what it says, not in what it serves. Ask before you assume it is.
Book it if
- You want to cross the avenue to the pier
- You’re sailing Quark and want to be where its bags get collected
- You want a sauna the night before the Drake Passage
Look elsewhere if
- You want breakfast confirmed in the rate
- You’d rather sleep up in the hills than on the avenue

The pier gate is across the avenue, by our map about 50 m — and you show your boarding pass at the gate, per Oceanwide. If your line runs a bus from a meeting point, take it, and ask where your ship berths.
The hotel says parking is free for your stay, but it doesn’t say you can leave a car while you sail. Ask before you count on it.

Getting here, and on to the ship
By our map estimate Albatros is about 4.1 km from Ushuaia Airport in a straight line, and about 50 m from the pier gate. Every question mark below is a ride you book yourself.
The hotel doesn’t mention an airport ride, so take a taxi or a remis, or your line’s transfer — Quark includes one.

From USH without a hotel shuttle
There’s no public transport from the airport to town, per Turismo Ushuaia: you take a taxi (metered), a remis (a fixed fare booked by phone) or a transfer. Neither publishes a fare. Some expedition lines include the airport transfer (Quark does airport to hotel), so check your documents. The only price we found is for one hotel van. The airport page has what is and isn’t published.

Parking for your stay: Free, with security cameras; no reservation needed, per the hotel.

Which quay
the pier gateMeasured to the pier gate on Av. Maipú, opposite Lasserre street, Albatros is about 50 m away in a straight line. Oceanwide says Ushuaia has only one pier and you show your boarding pass to get on it. CNN Español describes the terminal’s pier as 550 m long and shared with commercial, fishing and scientific vessels — where your ship berths is for your line to confirm. Lines such as Quark bus you from a meeting point near the pier. The Ushuaia cruise guide has the rest.
