Highly recommended

Conveniently located inside the national park. Hiking trails along the rim are literally steps away from the inn. Was fortunate to be able to watch the Kīlauea eruption from the inn. Can’t get any better. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were comfortable and as good as one can expect from a place over 170 years old. Best part is there was no television as one should be outdoors enjoying nature and the night skies.

Good for one and done

We stayed for one night in this historic hotel on the rim of the Kilauea volcano. The building is quite old, and it shows. The entire structure has a smokey, gross, mildewy smell to it. The carpet is gross and the walls and doors have not been cleaned of dirt, grime, and hand prints in a long time. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. For the experience of seeing the volcano's glow at night, it was worth staying for one night but I wouldn't go back again.

If you are looking for an unique experience then the Volcano House is a great stay. The staff is welcoming, great dining options, and the volcano views are amazing. The hotel is a historic building so keep that in mind. The rooms are clean, but not very sound proof. You will hear noise. But it offers such an unique opportunity to stay overnight on a volcano. The views of the volcano at sunrise are gorgeous. Also, they have a wood burning fireplace that is lit 24 hours a day in the lobby. You will smell it in your room. But it makes you feel like you are at a campfire. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Great location to see the eruption of the volcano when we arrived. Cons- finding parking wasn’t easy - so many people here to see volcano that were not staying at the property. They should have reserved spots for people staying here. Also only 1 person to check people in so that was kind of slow. Rooms were good for national park And had places to watch the volcano inside building and outside

The first night we stayed was miserable—the walls were thin and the sound just traveled through them. The lodge was replacing the floor in the restaurant which was right next door. Furthermore, they were playing music which sounded so loud to me. My husband slept in the car because it was quieter and I went out to the front desk and refused to pay for the night. The second night was much, much better.

This is a beautiful vintage hotel with stunning views of Kilauea Caldera. It has an outside balcony and inside viewing area. The staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Restaurants are excellent. The Rim also has wonderful views. All of this is with the National Park and close to all the activities. This is our 2nd stay and we would definitely visit again. Only downside is parking has been difficult with all the volcanic activity and construction.

The parking was absolutely terrible. I don’t know if renovations are being done for that or not, but they should. Best location to watch Pele erupt Just some notables, no elevator for second floor, no TV’s. We didn’t care about TV’s but maybe someone with kids would.

One doesn't really go to the lodge for its fabulous amenities. It is a piece of history and as such - sure, it's dated, no TV most rooms are a bit small and the washrooms are tiny - But clean. You go there for the volcano! This time around (our 5th time staying here) the volcano was right out front. Nice dinner in the pub with a non stop view. Plus we splurged on the large park side room and watched the action all night. The staff are truly wonderful and live the Aloha spirit. Highly recommend

Pros: Great place to view the volcano and be in the park. Unique experiencle. Cons: not enough dedicated parking for the hotel guests because parking was also open to day visitors, forcing hotel guests to park quite far away.
