We were glad we rented a 4x4 that’s what I recommend. Also try to get there before dark due to the steep uphill super curvy 2 km road. Although hotel is old (probably oldest in the area) it’s very clean , rooms are big and comfortable. It’s on a beautiful mountain with great views . The horse riding on site is a most! Decent breakfast, friendly staff. Definitely recommend if you’re into rustic stays and nature. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9ecd3fba-b7af-4237-b2a6-1b29a94fd6c1-1767233623228.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7dca6839-ccf4-414b-98de-5acffd36574a-1767233623698.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rene Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Teresa Dec 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room very clean except for nasty mattress.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the beds are very uncomfortable. Besides that all else was good! ##### Frank Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Amir Dec 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities the property was nice but the road from the hotel gate to the room was not well maintained the hotel can use some TLC. our room was nice but we could hear our next door neighbor when they spoke. The hiking trails around the property were nice. ##### Amir Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Stunning location and amazing staff ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrea Dec 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness The hotel has really good view of the volcano and the room are spacious and comfortable. Also the swimming pool and hot tub were great. It also has a small gym, which is bonus, but which would benefit from an update. Service, at front desk and restaurant were very nice and attentive. However: 1- The wifi at the room did not work at all. 2- windows were not fully covered and therefore sunlight will came in very early and disrupt your sleep (if we need to sleep in). 3\. No fridge in the room. 4- Breakfast was more like a snack than an actual breakfast. 5- If you need ice or hot water you need to get it from the restaurant, which closes at 9am. ##### Andrea Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip Aug 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Get the included breakfast.

The staff made us feel right at home, and the stillness of the surroundings was unmatched. I had some of the best sleep of my life there. Waking up to a breathtaking view of the volcano from the pool felt surreal—there’s truly nothing like it in the area. ##### Justine Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle Aug 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Had an absolutely wonderful time at Hotel Arsenal Lodge. I couldn’t get enough of all the pretty flowers all over the property and the room with the breathtaking views of the volcano! We were a family of 5 and the room was spacious and comfortable. The property is family run and felt very welcoming from the moment I checked in. The owner was so kind to make a beautiful bouquet for my mom’s 70th birthday and arrival to the hotel. I really wanted a bouquet with local flowers and couldn’t really it online. I was so ecstatic when I saw the bouquet with tropical flowers. I’m still touched by this, thank you Mrs Terry. The property is a gem for nature lovers. 100% recommend. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4c1c98dc-82f2-4c90-9278-034af61596ee-1756600697067.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1cd8d1ef-ee13-4d0f-95df-377deb4c8e02-1756600696860.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9c14b1cd-2f02-491d-9228-57c9eb8ba2ee-1756600699272.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/df197b5c-df5e-45f0-9c08-d97ee829a8cf-1756600697751.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michelle Stayed 17 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexander Feb 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### We enjoyed our stay.
