We've stayed at other National Parks hotels (Yosemite, Zion, Bryce) and they were rustic but clean and quite comfortable. However, the Volcano House was the absolute pits. We stayed in the old section of the hotel, the original building. The first impression was - this place stinks like an old rotting house. Musty, mildewy, the room was minature, only 10'... more

if you want to stay in the volcano park, then there is no choice. This hotel is ok, but they seem to know that you have to stay with them if at all. more

Two nights there was enough for us to witness the breath-taking view of an active volcano, see all the local fauna and flora, lava tubes, lava flows, history of Volcano house hotel, and capture all the sights, tours and facts available in the National Park and nearby Observatory and Museum...lots to learn and see...breath-taking... For adventurers, sight-seers, scientists and nature... more

If you're staying at Volcano House to sleep atop a volcano and to get a jump on the crowds to see the park before it's mobbed, you're right on the money. If you expect luxury accommodations, go someplace else. After flying into Hilo, I arrived at the park around 7 p.m. and was greeted by a very friendly desk clerk... more

We stayed in the Camper Cabins run by the Volcano House - they were wonderful. Simple cabins with a double bed and bunk beds, table outside and a wood/charcol grill - toilet and shower facilities shared between the cabins. The cabin was clean and comfortable and the linens and blankets clean and adequate - though our stay was not cold,... more

We were really looking forward to staying at the Volcano House because of its location on the rim of volcano and because it looked like a cool, historic hotel. The views are great, but the hotel is nasty! It was hard to tell if it was recent filth or perma-grime that covered the room and bathroom. The carpets and bedspreads... more

This hotel is a "5" for location and the view of the caldera, and "3" for the hotel itself. However, the location is truly unbeatable, directly across from the volcano park visitor's center. Make sure to get a caldera view room - the view of the smoldering volcano out the window is epic. The staff were also incredibly friendly. The... more

I understand the negative reviews. There are no modern amenities here. There's no TVs, the rooms are not impressive and it's nowhere near the beach. When you think "Hawaiian Vacation" this place is not what you'd think of. This place is a cabin in the mountains that happens to be on the rim of Kilauea crater. Personally, I'd rather stare... more

We stayed in the cabins which were located a couple miles away. Although we were dissapointed that we were not staying at the crater, the cabin was really nice. They were located in the woods next to the campground. They provided all the linens. The cabin was roomy enough for four of us. We are campers and don't mind staying... more

Volcano house in the volcano national park is in a time warp and knows that you have few other choices. We stayed for two nights and had a deluxe crater room and a "regular" room. This meant that for a family they were unable to place us in the same building. There are two buildings, the older and the newer... more
