2nd visit to L'Isla. At a budget price I can't see how you'll get better. The rooms are fresh and clean, as are the bathrooms and communal areas. Clean and fluffy towels are supplied as are toiletries and tea and coffee. A short walk to the city centre yet far enough away not to be in the hustle and bustle.... More

Superb value hostal located just a few minutes walk away from El Born and the old town, but far enough away from the tourist crowds that engulf the city. The single room I was in (A) was of a good size, spotlessly clean and the wi-fi functioned perfectly. The bathroom was large and clean. The room I was in does... More

Stayed in this little hostal for 2 nights in May! The location is pretty nice, but need some time to find it even I had a map on hand! Coz no. 53 is located at the other block. The single room wasn't very big but enough for a single girl like me! It's very clean! They clean up the room... More

My partner and I stayed at Hostal La Isla for four nights in October 2012. The main advantage of this hostal is the location: on the doorstep is the Arc De Triomph and its metro station and other tourist attractions including Las Ramblas and Placa Catalunya were about a 15 minute walk away. The hostal is great if you want... More

I stayed at Hostal La Isla for two nights in September 2012. The hostal is located very close to Arc De Triomph metro and about 15 mnutes walks from the top of Las Ramblas and Placa Catalunya. The staff were very friendly, the rooms and bathrooms were very clean. I would say that this is an excellent option for someone... More

The hostel is suituated right next to Arc de Triomf metro station but around 30 minutes walk from plaça de catalunya. There are many cafes and restaurants nearby. The staff are very friendly and the bathrooms are quite clean. The rooms are tidied daily but it does get hot inside during Summer. Overall, great place to stay for a short... More

The room has no air-conditioner, and the fan is too weak, my portable fan is even more stonger than that. After I made a complaint, they changed a much better fan for me (better than nothing). The towel do have blood sting, have to check it everytime before I use it. Beside the room and the towel, staffs were very... More

We had a great time at La Isla Hostal and would definitely stay again. The price was just right and the Hostal was easy to find, right opposite the arc de triomf and 2 mins from the underground station. It was very clean, and the staff were really helpful, giving us tips about where to go and what to do... More

Booked this last minute for a business trip during a time where it's almost impossible to find anything near Barcelona city center. What a pleasant surprise it was! Excellent location (also serviced by a subway station across the street) and the rooms were quite nice. The staff was also very helpful. The free Wi-Fi worked very well too.
