Staff was excellent. The rooms are VERY loud from the noise in the area...and it goes all night long. I would suggest more than just a thin sheet for the beds as well.

Bosco Inn was well located. It was clean and comfortable. We were able to get room for 3, with 3 beds. Breakfast was delicious! Added plus we were able to go to use Thermal pools at their sister property- Volcano Lodge, for free. That was great!

Loved this little gem. Such a good price for an old but well maintained and comfortable stay. Great pool and breakfast, amazing location in town and loved the access to sister property. Went there every night! The street traffic can be a little noisy. Would definitely stay here again.

For the price, this is a nice little hotel with very friendly staff, right in the middle of town. The room was simple and clean, nothing fancy. And we spent an evening at the hot springs of their sister hotel. It was perfect for what we needed, no complaints.

Hotel was in a great location, a few minutes walk to the main area full of shops and restaurants. The property itself is great value for money, it has an older feel and room quite small but that did not bother us at all, we really felt comfortable staying there and loved the seating areas outside each room to relax in. A higher floor had chairs facing the volcano which was fabulous. Pool was brilliant and perfect temperature. Breakfast was lovely and plenty of choice. Tea and coffee available whenever we wanted it. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. We booked tours through the hotel too which were a great price. One great perk is that you get use of their sister hotel Volcano Lodge where there’s a lovely pool and hot springs. Definitely need to take advantage of this, the gardens there are beautiful to walk round and we had an amazing afternoon there. Overall an absolutely great hotel to stay at, would highly recommend

It was nothing special but then a decent price so you get what you pay for. Our room was very dark and painted brown so made it darker and bit dismal. Felt more like a motel, but the breakfast was good.
