Our room was clean, and had a small desk. Pretty short list of features, but it fit the budget. There is a swimming pool which looked clean. The manager did not exactly seem hostile, but plainly should be in another line of work. The Mayol is located a block off the main highway and the quiet central location is a... More

At first glance this Lodge doesn't seem like much but the rooms are very clean, the bed comfortable and the rooms have mini-fridges, coffee pots, TV and wireless internet. The Lodge is just 2 blocks off the central square, has a lovely garden and a pool. The owner is very friendly and very willing to help with directions to restaurants... More

we stayed there for one night and you get what you pay for. you cant expect a five star room and service for the little money you pay there. the staff and owner started to open up and be very friendly when we talked spanish with everybody there. all together we had a good night there.

We ended up staying here because of a mix up with our reservation at another hotel. They wouldn't give us a break on the price even though the rooms were not even half as good as the place we were supposed to stay. The walls were dirty, bathroom tiny, bed uncomfortable. Staff was completely unhelpful and rude. They seem to... More

The hotel was empty. We were the only people who stayed there. The swimming pool is clean and there are a few beds to lay on. We had a big room on the first floor with a balcony on the volcany site. Beautiful! The hotel is just a few meters from the city center, but is is quiet. The lady... More

We arrived to Mayo Lodge after having booked a standard twin room. On arrival there was no one at reception and we had to wait about 10 minutes until one of the house keepers realized we were there. We were taken to our room but the smell of mold was so strong that we asked for another room. We were... More

We took a 2nd floor room with volcano view but our room was also next to the road, so a bit noisy. We saw the volcano for 40 mins one night. The rest of the time it was cloudy. The pool area was very nice, close to the river & very relaxing. We only swam once bec it wasn't that... More

We stayed one night at Mayol Lodge. Since we arrived quite late we had a rather quick look at the small room on ground level the unfriendly owner or caretaker offered for $ 35. When we came back after dinner and went to bed, we noticed a disgusting bad smell of mold on the pillows and mattress. The friendly muchacho... More
