This was a fine little hotel. We stayed in many places over a month's time in Argentina and Chile and this was a good choice.The hotel is a little out of town so it's a short cab ride into everything ( $5 US). The owner is the chef and dinner was excellent. Even breakfast was very good, which is a rare thing. The staff is friendly and helpful and the common space is cosy and comfortable. Be aware that 2 rooms (I thnk) do not have water views and are somewhat ordinary.So definately ask for water views.

Due to late bookings and high occupancy, we spent our first two nights in Ushuaia in early February/08 at Los Cauquenes and the second two nights at Tierra de Leyendas. The former is a more substantial property, has an exercise room and a nice dining room, but Tierra de Leyendas has it beat for charm, warmth and value. If we could have stayed all four nights at Tierra de Leyandas, we would have.

The owners met at the Marriott in Buenos Aires, where Sebastien was a chef and Maria was working in reservations. They settled in Ushuaia, where Maria and her family are from. As a result of their Marriott experience, they know exactly what to offer their guests and they do it perfectly. We were amazed at the dinner menu selection for such a small establishment and enjoyed terrific meals. The temptation is to go into town for dinner to eat at one of the touristy restaurants promoting King Crab dinners, but you won't do better than to eat in here and relax.

We booked on the basis of reviews from the Trip Advisor web site and they were bang on!

Really enjoyed our stay at Tierra de Leyendas in Ushuaia.
Lovely rooms, great food, exceptional service.
Staff all speak english & go out of their way to help you find your way around, help you with bookings etc.
Tierra de Leyendas is not in centre of town, but only a short cab ride away. They also offer free pick up from airport.
Not sure price of other hotels in Ushuaia, but I think it compares quite well.

We stayed at Tierra de Leyendas for two nights prior to a trip to Antarctica. We'd booked it on the strength of the reviews on Tripadvisor, and we weren't disappointed. The owners, Sebastian and Maria, are hands on, and are genuinely nice people who are concerned that their guests have a good experience. Sebastian is also the chef, and we had dinner there one night - it was excellent. Our room overlooked the Beagle Channel (3 of the 5 rooms have these lovely views), and was spacious, with plenty of storage. The bathroom was nice. Fresh decor, very good breakfasts, friendly and helpful staff, and free internet access for guests.
When we left, we made some suggestions for some minor improvements; our Antarctic trip was aborted, and we therefore ended up spending an unexpected extra night at Tierra de Leyendas about 10 days later; we were extremely surprised and impressed that each of our suggestions had already been acted upon. Now THAT'S a hotel that cares.
