    (Translated by Google) The location is very good, given that it was close to the center and is very accessible in terms of public transport. The service is the ideal one, because the employee who attended us received us with a smile, he was very kind, sociable and explained everything correctly and in great detail. The room exceeded both my expectations and those of my partner, everything very clean, the cleaner was dutiful and friendly. At least in our room came the air from the balcony, which even being small can be used to smoke a cigarette or lay the towels to dry, there is a fan with several ways and ways to get the air. In general it has been a very good experience. (Original) La ubicación es muy buena, dado que estaba cerca del centro y es muy accesible en cuanto a transporte público. El servicio es el idóneo, pues el empleado que nos atendió nos recibió con una sonrisa, fue muy amable, sociable y explicó todo correctamente y con todo lujo de detalles. La habitación superó las expectativas tanto mías como las de mi pareja, todo muy limpio, la limpiadora fue cumplidora y amable. Al menos en nuestra habitación entraba el aire desde el balcón, que aún siendo pequeño se puede usar para fumar un cigarro o tender las toallas para que se sequen, hay un ventilador con varios modos y formas de echar el aire. En general ha sido una muy buena experiencia.

    (Translated by Google) The staff were so kind to explain the restaurant and the tourist elements. I have breakfast, but I have a schedule early in the morning. I never eat. ㅠㅠㅠ ㅠㅠㅠ Ah sad and the toilet is too loud. The water purifier keeps smelling medicine. It was disinfecting every day. So the first room had soap and earplugs There's a place where you can eat tea or tea next to the fridge. (Original) 너무 친절한 스탭 맛집과 관광 요소에 대해서 꼼꼼하게 설명해 주셨다 준비해주신 지도에 동그라미를 하며 조식이 있는데 아침일찍 스케줄이 있어 한번도 못먹었다 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 아 슬프다 그리고 화장실 물내리면 소리가 너무 크다 그리고 복도라고 해야하나 오피스? 정수기 있는데에선 계속 약품 냄새가 난다 매일 소독을 하는건가 역하긴했다 ㅠㅠㅠ 그리고 이층이고 지난 도로라서 시끄럽다 옆방 소리는 안들리는데 왤케 건물앞에서 잡담 하는 사람들이 많은지 웃고 떠드는 소리까지 방에 다들림 그래서 맨처음 방에 비누랑 귀마개가 있었나 보다 냉장고 옆에는 간단하게 차?정도 먹을수 있는곳이 있는데 별로 먹고 싶진 않았다

    Fatal. I make the reservation through eDreams and when I arrive at the hostel, it doesn't exist, it went bankrupt due to the pandemic. Before booking, as usual, I came to see the comments here, but at no time does it say that it is PERMANENTLY CLOSED as it should say. A scam, I don't understand how they can continue offering it.

    The two of us were there recently at the end of April 2018, super satisfied, great price, nice little hostel right at the Arc de Triomf (and 10 minutes from the bus station, interesting for Ryanair guests), highly recommended for late arrivals, clean rooms, comfortable Beds, apparently recently renovated, quiet room (Edith Piaf ;-)), every corner was lovingly decorated and there was attention for the guests everywhere (sweets, cookies and muffins, tea and instant coffee (the simple accommodation does not include breakfast). ...)). The shared bathroom was great to use and I hardly saw the other guests. The shower head could have been replaced, but otherwise no complaints. La Sagrada Familia is easy to reach on foot, with breakfast options at a low price on the way there. What more could you want, it was a completely successful short trip to Barcelona and the hostel played a decisive role in it. However, you can save yourself the nearby chocolate museum ;) I would definitely book La Isla Hostal again at any time and recommend it to my friends. If you don't need luxury or long breakfast buffets, this is the place for you. Metro station also just around the corner.

  • 2/5 Catherine E. 6 years ago on Google
    My mother and her friend were staying in this hostel for some days. So review is from there words. They could not make check in directly when they came with luggage . It was paper hanging out near entrance with a description that they will come just in 5! hours. This was really not comfortable. Hostel has many floors and every room has a title of some city, like Rome, Paris . Rooms are big , pillows and bad is good. It was nice view on arc de Triumph . Minuses is that everything is old. But main thing that from 5 days , it was no hot water in 3 of them. They were not able to take shower.

    I used La Isla Hostel as my base for 8 nights in Barcelona, booked via booking.com. An excellent hostel close to the Arc de Triumph & the nord bus station and underground metro system. The hostel is a 10 minute walk from the Aerobus stop (from the airport) at the Plaza de Catalonia. It is very close to the Gothic Quarter that has a multitude of bars & restaurants. Plenty of supermarkets very close by if required. The rooms are small and clean (as expected) and all have a sink as a minimum to wash. Room cleaning available as required. Two showers available & I found little waiting time to use them. Breakfast available with coffee, orange juice & toast/jam. There is a kitchen area with a kettle, toaster, fridge, drinking water dispenser & microwave. Plates, cutlery & glasses all provided. At the rear of the hostel is a small patio area to relax _ see photo. The hostel was cleaned daily. The receptionist, Gina, is absolutely charming & from the UK so no problem regarding speaking English & Catalan. Gina was very knowledgeable about the City and moving around using public transport, recommending bars, restaurants & places to visit. Lockers are available should you need to leave your luggage after check out if you have a late flight home. Highly recommended as budget accommodation in Barcelona.

    round the corner. Just like our previous hostel the humidity was high. Luckily they gave us a big ventilator, thin blanket and earplugs against noise. Because of that we still had a good night rest. The place was amazing. The rooms were clean and cosy and the host amazing. Our host greeted us and gave us a tour through the whole hostel. The reception was open from 11:00-14:00 but we could call or text her anytime if we had a problem or needed advice in the hostel or Barcelona. The location is very central, the main shopping centre is a 10 Min walk, and arc de triomf and station just around the corner. Just like our previous hostel the humidity was high. Luckily they gave us a big ventilator, thin blanket and earplugs against noise. Because of that we still had a good night rest.

  • 5/5 Flavio E. 5 years ago on Google • 6 reviews
    For the price I expected much less! We stayed there for one night in a double room with a private bathroom. Very clean and originally furnished, quiet room, clean bathroom, air conditioning, windows, nice shared terrace, free coffee-tea-cookie bar. Apparently the woman at reception is also the owner, a native speaker of English and very personable and service-oriented. She is very precise with the cleaning staff. I had left a bottle as soon as I entered the room and she immediately wanted to know whether the cleaning staff had left it there. She can give lots of insider tips about Barcelona and is very helpful. So she argued on the phone with the operator of our parking garage, who wanted to charge us too much. You can't expect a palace for the price. But you get lovingly managed accommodation where you can really relax. Will definitely come back!

    We booked just for the weekend where the confinement began, what they did after contacting them a thousand times, was garlic and water, and therefore without our money or offering us other dates..

  • 3/5 Béatrice V. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The Isla Hostal gave us the Marilyn Monroe room facing street. The window was broken and we could hear all the noises of cars at night. Hard to fall asleep ... On the other hand, there is no air conditioning in the rooms ... only a fan that makes a lot of noise and is not enough. We had to turn it off at night because the walls are very thin and our roommate heard everything and we also heard him talking in his room ... no privacy possible. However, we loved the welcome we received. The staff is very caring. We loved the terrace which is a big plus in this hotel and we especially loved its location right in the center of Barcelona. (Original) La Isla Hostal nous a donné la chambre Marilyn Monroe donnant sur rue. La fenêtre était cassée et nous entendions tous les bruits de voitures la nuit. Difficile de s'endormir... D'autre part, il n'y a pas de climatisation dans les chambres... seul un ventilateur qui fait beaucoup de bruit et qui n'est pas suffisant. Nous devions l'éteindre la nuit car les murs sont très fins et notre voisin de chambre entendait tout et nous aussi nous l'entendions parler dans sa chambre... pas d'intimité possible. Cependant, nous avons adoré l'accueil qui nous a été réservé. Le personnel est au petit soin. Nous avons adoré la terrasse qui est un gros + dans cet hôtel et nous avons surtout adoré son emplacement en plein coeur du centre de Barcelone.

  • 4/5 Adrian Ionut P. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice welcoming place in a perfect location of Barcelona. Close to multiple public transport options and historical attractions. The rooms can use some sound isolation and some minor fixes here an there, but an overall great place to stay (for the price you pay). (Great WiFi) (no chance of finding parking close to the Hostal)

  • 5/5 Joseph K. 8 years ago on Google
    Clean room and friendly staff. Free use of jam and neutella, some snacks and cookies, electric kettle and refrigerator. Was given a room on a high third floor. Room faced noisy residental backstreet so I enjoyed a back door look and sound of the Barcelona culture. Cheaply priced so would stay again.

  • 5/5 Liz M. 5 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Molly D. 5 years ago on Google
    Very nice, clean hostel. Cute shared balcony area, clean bathrooms, nice rooms. I like that there are sinks in the single rooms so I don’t have to leave to brush my teeth or wash my face. Makes doing your night routine effortless. Also, they had tea, coffee, oatmeal and cookies... all complimentary. Feels very welcoming and safe. Of course it is no five star hotel, but as far as hostels go, it checks all the boxes. Would definitely return!

  • 5/5 Taufiq H. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice budget hotel on the entry level of a building in a central location. Great value! The host went out of their way to put my name on a piece of paper to make sure I that I knew who to call how to get in when I arrived late - that’s very much appreciated. Each of the rooms has a theme which is very cute. I got a balcony room facing the park with a nice view. The street is noisy especially when the windows are open but earplugs were provided, which I didn’t have to use. They have tea and coffee available in the self-serve area along with some cookies. And really nice back patio where you can sit and relax. There are two shared showers. I appreciated having the sink in my room so I can brush my teeth and wash my face. Wi-Fi access was fast enough. The bed was comfortable I had a good nights sleep. I got coffee and mini-croissants served at my room at 10am. Easy walk to areas around. I even got to do my laundry at La Wash, a 5min walk away while snacking on some food and drink at the nearby tapas bar: A Familia (read my review for more info) The metro is an easy walk from the hotel - easy access by public transportation to La Rambla, Sagrada Familia, beaches. You can walk to some good cafes. There is a Segway ride service a few min from the Arc - a great way to see some of this amazing city - Barcelona!

    (Translated by Google) A great option for a visit to Barcelona. Excellent location, connected only meters from the subway and the bus. Walking distance to the biggest attractions. The rooms are comfortable and clean. Breakfast is served and they also offer free coffee and tea. The kitchen equipped with microwave, refrigerator and iron. The wifi works very well. But what makes the difference is Gina with her warmth and excellent attention! I will return without a doubt. (Original) Una gran opción para una visita a Barcelona. Excelente ubicación, comunicado a solo metros del metro y del bus. Distancia a pie de las mayores atracciones. Las habitaciones son cómodas y limpias.

Pero lo que marca la diferencia es Gina con su calidez y excelente atención!. Volveré sin dudas.

    (Translated by Google) Clean, but a sink for many rooms, the doors do not close too much and the balconies do not say. Good mattress, but from the courtyard they advertise we have only seen the photo. Lenses for check-in. Breakfast free but very limited. (Original) Net, però un lavabo per moltes habitacions, les portes no tanquen gaire i els balcons no diguem. Matalàs bé, però del pati que anuncien només hem vist la foto. Lents per fer el check-in.
