Hostal La Isla

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in for sure. Spotlessly clean, great facilities, consistent hot water, plenty of comfy communal areas. The best thing about the hostel though is the really homely feel they have cultivated, it has such a lovely atmosphere. The owners were really friendly and all of the volunteers and staff were too. It has a really social vibe but not party. I kept extending as I just didn’t want to leave!

Alle sehr freundlich, leckeres und abwechslungsreiches Frühstück. Super Empfehlungen vom Hostel

We had an amazing time at la Isla. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We loved the free yoga classes. The space is very clean, everyone staying there was very kind and it’s was very easy to connect with other people. La isla has a huge list with recommendations where to eat and what to do. Every place we tried was very good. We can only recommend!

I liked this place a lot, was exactly what I was looking for. Only improvement: curtains in the dorms, sheets that don't slip off as easily and stricter rules for smoking (closing the doors, so the smell doesn't go to the dorms)

Hostal la isla is a very cozy and welcoming place to stay. The location is great. You have restaurants and bakeries in walking distance. The bus station is 15 minutes walking distance. I really enjoyed the yoga clases, there are amazing (Thank you Mariam 🙏🏻)

A lovely, homey hostel filled with super kind volunteers and travellers. Everything was kept very clean, breakfast is good and I really can't find anything to compain about 🤷‍♂️ I would definitely stay here again if end up back in San Cris!

My favourite hostel I stayed at in Mexico. The manager and volunteers are really lovely, and it had a great calm social vibe. The breakfast was always really good. The four person dorm was really quiet at night.

Nice location, one block from the main walking street. I booked a shared room with ensuite bathroom. There was an odor in the room, and they moved to another bigger room with more beds and no ensuite bathroom. The room did not have bed curtains. Otherwise, my stay was good.

It is a lovely place, good vibes and very clean. The only thing to keep in mind that there is no hot water until 8 am and the kitchen ipens for personal use only at 10.30 am. They serve breakfast, but I would not be relying too much on it, the portions are small and you only get 1 cup of coffee that is not strong. There are free yoga classes for the guests every other day at 11 am.

Hostel génial avec un personnels très acceuillant et des installations très propres !

Good location and staff were friendly. Beds were really uncomfortable and the light in our dorm didn’t work on the first night, which someone said seemed to be an ongoing issue.

nice cozy hostel with a friendly and social vibe, yoga lessons were nice, breakfast good to start the day, more on the quite side

I switched to this hostel after being at puerta vieja (lovely party hostel) for a few days and WOW what a welcome change it was. A truly chill vibe, both the atmosphere and the people. Has everything you need, great location, free breakfast, and free yoga on certain days! Love this spot

L’emplacement de l’hostel est idéal, en plein centre. Les lits capsules et la chambre sont vraiment parfaits, avec en plus une petite salle de bain privée super pratique. Le personnel est très agréable et répond à toutes nos questions. Les équipements sont fonctionnels et facilitent vraiment le séjour.

Un esprit calme et reposant

Personnel aimable, tout était propre et bien entretenu au cours de la journée. Lieu sécurisé. Petit bémol sur la qualité des draps et des oreillers. Mais globalement j’ai passé un très bon séjour et je recommande car très bon rapport qualité prix !

Cool hostel with a good vibe. staff were great (most through workaway I think). we were in the double room with a 270° view, which was really cool. Breakfast was excellent, though doesn't start until 8.30.

Cabe resaltar la atención del personal, siempre muy atento. Ubicación limpieza todo súper bien. Sin duda volvería

Excellent backpackers hostel in San Cristobal, with very central location. The private room was very comfortable with a nice view. The staff is very friendly and sociable. The hostel spaces were always spotless clean and the vibes in the common areas were always easy to hang out and socialize with fellow travelers and staff. I'll come back to La Isla next time I pass by San Cristobal.

One of the cosiest hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Staff and volunteers so lovely! Great kitchen, beautiful healthy breakfast every day included, FREE yoga 3 times a week with really excellent teachers! Many beautiful chill out zones inside and out, comfortable beds, great hot showers. And such a perfect central location. If you’re long term travelling this is a perfect place to stay still for a while and feel like you are home.
