Convenience without the frills!
I don’t spend much time in the room when I travel. I am inclined to choose hotels with fewer amenities so I can afford more experiences. Clean and safe suit me. Hotel El Volcan is within walking distance to everything, much more affordable than most and the staff went above and beyond to provide me anything I wanted. The menu of activities offered with hotel help is extensive. Very accommodating!

Close to everything but cleanliness???
Very close to beautiful town centre. The owner is very nice and helpful. The room we got was full of little critters (ants) in bathroom sink and around doors. The sheets in the bed had small black flakes, not sure what it was, maybe fleas -related? I was worried especially travelling with children.

Good location, good staff
The hotel was really close to the main road and plaza area (2 minute walk). The front desk staff was really helpful and organized trips for us super short notice! Although the actual room we stayed in for one night wasn't the best. It was moldy and definitely could have been cleaner. Overall it was fine for staying a night but for longer trips I would look elsewhere.

Very inexpensive, basic amenities, friendly staff. Was clean, if threadbare.

Bit depressing but Ok I guess
Overnighted here. It was passable and clean enough but made me feel a bit icky to be honest. I dropped my eyeliner in the bathroom and threw it away rather than wash it off and use it again. I wasn't sad to leave but I wouldn't go as far as to say that it was a bad place to stay. If I had to stay for more than one night I'd probably have enjoyed my trip a lot less though.

Inexpensive comfortable small place
We chose El Volcan because of the reviews lauding the host, and were not disappointed. Luis was helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Our first night he recommended a local restaurant where we had the best steak (ribeye) we'd ever eaten. The beds were OK, although the pillows were just egg crate foam in pillowslips. Despite that, we slept very well. The hotel has an outdoor covered patio with a common refrigerator and microwave (put away late at night). No dishes, however, but handy anyway. It's within easy walking distance of most of the town, and the walks were pleasant.

Affordable, close to town center
Wonderful little room, very modest, simple, don't expect a standard US-room by any means. I thought it was a great lil find. Site mgr was very helpful and friendly. Has wifi, hot water and is in the town. Downside is room facing the street hears everyyyything. Overall great.

Great place for people on a budget.
Close to downtown, clean and the owner was very helpful. Wifi connection is so so depending on your room, but this problem I found through out Costa Rican hotels.

Don't stay there.
I don't recommended this hotel at all. No clean and a very bad smell that my wife had to sleep in the car. Smell mold everywhere, on pillows, mattresses, it's horrible.

The owner was very nice but not what it appeared to be online. I wasn't really comfortable with the location. The bed was very hard so it was hard to sleep. But there was air conditioning which was nice.

The staff was good and very friendly. Ensure to ask for clean towels, the towels I receive didn't smell Fresh! Many hotels to choose from in this town,Less than a 5 minute walk to the bus station. Only cost $5 American dollars to travel to San Jose to La Fortuna on the bus.

Close to centre
Basic room with bathroon, hot & cold water, on ground floor next to road so had to keep curtains closed at all times. Some road noise but not too bad, Aircon worked OK but was first generation thru the wall type and was VERY noisy so it couldn't be left on for long

OK for the price
The receptionist was extremely helpful and knowledgeable . The hotel itself is ok , unpretentious and centrally located in the town of La Fortuna, walking distance to everything. They sell well priced passes to other spa resorts . The only thing , there is no coffee in the morning, so the closest place to buy coffee early is at the bakery Musana, some 500m away.

A nice staff but hotel would need improvements
The hotel's staff was very friendly and helpful. However, the room's bed wasn't comfortable and there were insects crawling on the walls... It seemed to be highly priced for the value we were getting compared to other places in town...
