“A cool name for a great hotel.”

My two girls and I loved our stay at El Volcan. The staff was SUPER friendly and helpful. We were able to book our excursions from the hotel - no problem. It was also in easy walking distance from the town. I'd recommend this hotel to my friends.

“Window-challenged, noisy, overpriced by comparison with others nearby”

Clean and reasonably well-maintained, but two of the rooms had no windows at all, and the ones that had windows either faced a concrete wall or an interior room. For the same price, a more centrally-located option, like the Carmela, offers breakfast, windows with views and a swimming pool. Hotel El Volcan can be noisy, as the rooms are arranged around a central kitchen area, but might work fine for a group. Minor ant problem. Not terrible, but you can probably do better for your money.

“Solid 1 or 2 Nighter”

Originally booked for a single night passing through Arenal Park, I opted to stick around for an extra day come the following morning. Staff extended my stay in a jiff. Of course, they were very friendly and provided useful information. Single room was about 180 sq ft and had everything you needed, except a phone. Hostels are good options to reduce costs, but this place was a step above and was worth it!

“acceptable as a budget hotel”

good location, no view from the windows at all, no kitchen stuff, but microvwave and frige are in the lobby

“Good place to spend the night after the busy day.”

Hotel is located close to the park and the eating places. Staff is very friendly. But some rooms have vehicle noise problem.

“Pathetic experience of El Volcan”

This hotel was absolutely stinky, air conditioner was not working properly & bathroom was too much stinky. Beds were smelly & sheets & blankets were totally stained,old & smelly. Never ever go to this hotel.
