Yes I think they´re called Termales San Juan. The water is tibia not actually hot but if you hike in the trail that leads from the park headquarters about a kilometer there are hot springs.

Then yes, it's the same hotel I stayed one time, but I didn't stay in the building as I recall, I stayed in a little cabañas they got, very small, but comfortable, also I remember when I stayed there, the hot water didn't work, so my husband and my brother had to have a shower with freezing water, and you know how cold is up there. We drove half way up to the Volcano in a renault 4, then my brother and husband went to the top by foot, my sister and I stayed in the car.
