| This is a charming old hotel with absolutely no frills situated opposite the Visitor Center with a wonderful view of the main crater. It was built about 100 years ago and claims that the lobby fire has been burning continuously. Like many of the old hotels within the National Parks, it has plenty of character but is not fancy. There is no elevator to the second floor rooms. Don't stay here if you need to watch TV.

| The crater view room was good and comfortable.. The restaurant is overworked and understaffed.. long delays, low patience. The free early morning coffee helped nurse the jet lag from Dallas !

| This place has a great history and prime location inside the Volcano National Park..... but the rooms are small,the resturant is over priced, and at night there is nothing really to do. There is no TV in the room but the front desk does have a lot of boardgames that can be checked out. Overall I would say that it is a neat place to stay a night or two, if you want some quiet time.

| We stayed for 5 nights and found everything but the restaurant to our liking. It was easy to visit different parts of the park as well as the entire island of Hawaii over the course of our stay. The restaurant was adequate but expensive for the offerings (we did far better elsewhere p see comments below). The view was terrific.

| The Volcano was a great experience but the Volcano House Motel a lesser experience. The rooms smell and was unclean. Trash found underneath the beds. It is not worth staying at the Volcano House, just stay in town, Hilo. The Volcano National Park is not that far from town.

| What an experience. We had a "Crater view room" with a great look at the steam vents and caldera right from our quaint room. I was really impressed with the history of the hotel and the quietness. We only stayed one night, but I could have stayed longer. The air is clean and cool at 4000 feet. The visitors center is just a short walk. They have a movies with the history of the volcanoes near by. The people there really love what they do and it makes it all the more exciting. The drives and hiking around the hotel are fantastic. There are many birds in the area to add to the tranquility.

| The Volcano House is the only hotel near the volcano. It's a little rustic (definately not a resort), but it has charm and the staff are incredibly sweet. If you do the hike to see the lava at night, eat dinner first because you won't be back before the dining room closes. The hotel is located on the National Park Grounds.

| The good thing the hotel is its location. It is very convinient for tourists mainly interested in Volcano National Park. But the rooms are not very comfortable, bathroom is very small and quality of food is poor.
