Pucon is a small town with a concentrated "downtown" area of restaurants, stores, tour companies, and everything else you need within a small area. Everything is within easy walking distance of this hostel, hotel. We really enjoyed the town and there are a lot of outdoor activities here for everyone. The area is dominated with a view of the Volcano. The lake is on the other side of the small town from this hotel, but it is only about a pleasant 8 minute walk away. The room that we stayed in for 3 nights, "Buffalo", was clean with a king bed that was comfortable. It is a bigger room with 2 bunk beds also, and a private shower tub bathroom. The hostel, is in a quieter area, as it is about 80 yards off of the main street, and not on the main street itself. This is not a 5 star luxury hotel, but a good, clean, pleasant place to stay that is close to everything. I would stay here again and again. .
