  Very central to historic centre and marina. Decoration looks new and modern. Reasonable sized bedrooms and cleaned daily. Family owned and friendly service. Large breakfast room but no English breakfast or programmes on the TV. Highly recommended hostel/hotel.

  Little gem!

  16 Aug 2023

  Wow what a great find! We landed at the airport late so thought we would spend the first night in Mahon in cheaper accommodation. We had quite low expectations what with it being described as a 1 star hostel on Expedia but oh my what a gem! Check in was quick. The hotel and room was really chic and modern. The room was on the small side but plenty big enough for just the two of us. The bed was really comfy with white crisp sheets. We had a view out to the stress with a window and shutters and the air conditioning was amazing!The shower and toilet were really modern and the shower was quite large and was great! There was a shower gel dispenser in the shower along with bath and hand towels provided. The location of the hostel is perfect as you take a stroll down the road and down the steps take you onto the main Mahon harbour which was bustling on a random Wednesday evening when we arrived. There are plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants to chose from. There is a cafe linked to the hostel where we grabbed some coffees in the morning before taking a walk up to the centre of Mahon where we caught a bus to Cituadella from the bus station. There are plenty of shops and cafes and interesting buildings and statues on the walk up to the city centre area as well as a Thursday morning market. Check out isn’t until 12 noon which is great as we hate having to rush out first thing. There are places to park on the side streets. We took a taxi from the airport and it cost around €12. We are considering menorca again for next year and would stay here again and for longer next time!

  Good for a short stay

  I would have given the maximum score if there was less wrong information given by the hotel on Hotels com. We selected a room of 15 sqm, when we got a very small room of maximum 10 sqm. They mentioned a safe which didn't exist. The breakfast sold at 25 EUR for 2 pax, was sold for 4.5 EUR per pax on site. Beside that, the hotel location is excellent, it has recently been nicely renovated. The room is beautifully decorated, very quiet and clean. The bedding is excellent. The small bathroom is missing ventilation. They have 3 cheap breakfast options varying from 3 to 4.5 EUR.

  Great value for money and perfect location

  21 Sept 2022

  We spent a week at Hostal La Isla as we wanted to mainly explore the eastern end of Menorca: its location only 5 minutes from the centre of town was ideal for exploring the huge amount Mahon has to offe. Our room was small but well provided with shelving and hanging space plus a couple of drawers and useful space in the bedside shelves. Two power sockets either side of the bed were invaluable for recharging cameras, phones etc. Most importantly it was recently renovated, kept very clean by the daily maid service, and the shower was powerful. There is a lift which I don't remember seeing mentioned on the hostal's web site, so access to all floors is easy. The wifi seemed fast enough for all normal browsing.All the staff we met, from the owner and his son down to the chambermaids, were polite and helpful which made our stay very pleasant.. We would certainly stay there again.The only thing to watch out for (and not in any way the hostal's fault) is that the one way system has been changed comparatively recently so that our satnav was completely confused when trying to find the place.
