The hotel is located only a few minutes from the center of La Fortuna. It was wonderful to be so close to so many shops and restaurants without having to pay for a taxi there and back! The tours also know where to find you, so getting picked up/ drop off is simple! The owner was so sweet and helpful.... More

We stayed at Hotel El Volcan for four nights, and enjoyed it. Location was perfect, only one block from the main street in La Fortuna. The price was also very affordable. The manager, Luis, was extremely friendly and helpful. He gave suggestions on day trips, and we were able to book directly with him. Rooms were clean. A/C and hot... More

This trip to Costa Rica was for business and this place fit or budget. It's a nice small hotel close to everything. The owners are super helpful, accommodating in every way. The rooms could have been cleaner but the being and bathroom were great. There is a meeting area in the center of the hotel were you can use the... More

We liked our stay for two nights here. Honestly, next time, we would have stayed one night then continued towards the beach and stayed somewhere along the lake. This was a real nice place and Luis the manager is the best. he stayed for many years in the US and came to La Fortuna because the pace is slower. No... More

Spent few nights in room 1 - hopefully others are not much worse. Positive side - decent location, clean room, cheap rates (was like $42/night), management is friendly and speak English, available parking. Areas for improvement - virtually no furniture in the room - no closet, really had to live out of the bag. Wall between bathroom and the room... More

The owner is very nice and helpful guy. They made me feel like i was at home. I actually moved from Baldi Resort & Spa to this place. Staying here made everything so easy. Room was simple, nothing fancy but clean, which is fair ($35 - high season). I was able to walk anywhere from this place.

Check in was super easy. The Owner was waiting for me and I got a better room than I had reseved La Fortuna is a small pueblo and you can walk anywhere in just a few min. Hotel el Volcan is about 3 Blocks from the Central Park. Comfey bed hot water, soap and shampoo along with nice towels were... More

The hotel is really small, and is really much more a hostel than a hotel. There are a few rooms and a shop. The staff is really nice and helpfull, but the room itself was very simple and not very clean. Another good thing is that there's a fridge and microwave guests can use.

First, I am surprised that the hotel is rated 2-1/2 stars. It should be closer to 1-1/2 stars to 2. Perhaps that's why some are disappointed. We got two rooms and they were decent but I would have expected more from a 2-1/2 stars, amenities-wise. We didn't read about the room near the road and boy, the group that stayed... More
