Hostal La Isla

Well located, a little small but super welcoming and friendly hostel. I really enjoyed my stay here! Staff are volunteers and were helpful, patient and just really nice people. Had a good laugh with them. Clean water was provided in the kitchen, FREE yoga classes upstairs after 11am! Two main communal areas including a BBQ roof terrace area. Beds were super comfortable. Dorms are mixed. Storage lockers provided in every room. On my last night I was lucky enough to experience a beautiful musical performance - maybe I got lucky! I miss San Cristobal and this place.

Hot water only available in one bathroom before 10am (if I remember correctly). That shower was difficult to get hot water so mostly had cold showers.

Such a beautiful and colorful hostel! It felt just like home. I loved my room with a huge window where I could watch amazing sunsets. Hot water for shower. The volunteers were super friendly, and the breakfast was really good. I would definitely come back!

Very welcoming and relaxing environment. Hostel was clean and comfortable, and the breakfasts were great. I also attended their free yoga session, which helped me release some of the tiredness from traveling : ).

Perfect size and placement in San C. Staff is very responsive and friendly. Feels homely very fast.

Breakfast was decent and a great way to socialize - it's a bit too small though so needs to be supplemented

Healthy breakfast, free yoga classes, smiling and friendly staff, superb location, clean spaces.. Breakfast time is best to meet other travelers as everyone is gathered around a table sharing stories and their plans for the day

No words can describe the magic of La Isla! It is a special place with amazing people. We loved the terrace, the amazing yoga lessons and all the common spaces to relax and get to know other travellers, it was also so nice to have breakfast together every day. The shared bathrooms are always clean. There are only three showers, so if the hostel is at full capacity you will need to wait a bit or just shower earlier or in the afternoon/evening - this is not an issue. Mariam, AK and all the volunteers are amazing people who make you feel at home instantly. We had an issue with our transport to the next destination and they helped us resolve it very quickly. So many good vibes at La Isla that it was hard to leave. Thank you - we can't wait to come back 🫶

Nothing!

Very very good value for money, private double room has amazing views over the Puebla and mountains.
