I had a great experience at this hotel, which is ideally located about 10-15 minutes from many attractions. The rooms were clean and had comfortable bedding, but they felt a bit small. The service was attentive and exceeded my expectations for a three-star hotel. The dining options were varied and tasty, though the breakfast could use a bit more variety. Overall, it's a solid choice, especially for the price.

The hotel offers stunning views of the volcano from the private terrace, which is definitely a highlight. While the rooms are charming and cabin-like, they do have some downsides like ants on the floor and a weak hot water supply. The service staff were friendly and eager to assist, but I found the preference for cash a bit off-putting. Overall, the location is lush and close to various excursions, though it's somewhat far from the main attractions.
