Overall
I studied Spanish with them for 1 year... The teachers were not good, they could not clarify our doubts and they gave us wrong translations and explanations.  The books are super boring and sometimes it is really hard to pay attention in the class. 
I met another student from another Institute who did same level than me, and she could communicate and understand better than me and my classmates. 
The certificate that they give you is not even official! I have tried applying for jobs and they did not accept it. For that you have to give one official exam.

I am really disappointed with this institute. Me and all my classmates are joining another institute (Instituto Cervantes) much more better and official. 
I would suggest everyone to check with other places before joining.

Overall
I have been an employee of this Instituto for more than an year. I am writing this review especially for them who are going to join it as a Teacher/Translator. Laura is the owner and she is a Psychopath. She will be good with you and suddenly she will get crazy and start abusing you and mentally torches you. She will stop paying salary for no reasons and when you are going to get you paid leaves after 11 months she will fire you. If you are coming from south america or any other country for the job in this institute then BEWARE. You are getting in to deep shit. Better look for another employer.  They will not even appreciate your good things and will shout at you for things which is not of your concern. Only people who succeed here are the ones who can lick management's a**.

Overall
I worked there for a long time. 

They have indian so called teachers and native teachers to teach Spanish. None of the indian teachers is qualified to teach Spanish. NONE. They know some Spanish and are just one lesson ahead of the students. They make big mistakes when they explain. They can't speak fluently AT ALL. CAN'T. The reason: the indian ones are cheap, no contract. The native teachers are just a bait, so the academy can sell the product. 

This is for the students: the certificate IS NOT OFFICIAL. DELE is the good one. When you show the DIPLOMA INTERNACIONAL DE ESPANOL in a job interview, they laugh in your face. It has happened to me and my friends. Always search for DELE. ALWAYS. I got mine online, and it opens all the doors ... BELIEVE ME.

Overall
As an employee of Instituto Hispania for the last two years, I must emphasise the friendly and cooperative nature of the staff with whom I work. The work environment is incredibly warm and it feels like a large family. The courses offered are reasonably priced and the institute offers well qualified and talented professors from India and Spanish speaking countries. The varied nationalities in the institute makes it very culturally different and is an excellent exposure for all who attend classes as well as for all working staff.
