Lonely: affected with, characterized by, or causing a depressing feeling of being alone; lonesome.
Isolated: the state of being in a place or situation that is separate from others : the condition of being isolated.
Basically, loneliness is the negative feeling that you are alone, isolation is literally being alone and separated from others. People who are isolated from others aren't necessarily lonely, and people who are lonely aren't necessarily isolated from people either. Some people live happy alone, whereas others can feel lonely even when surrounded by people.

Loneliness is the feeling of social isolation - and it can take place in the middle of a crowd. It is more of a state of the mind of a person who is actually spending on his own despite having family and friends around. When a person finds it difficult to accept the presence of people around him or her and chooses to be on their own, this is called loneliness. Isolation is referred to be that particular situation when a person does not have anybody or thing around. This may be caused deliberately, for instance, when someone chooses to spend some time in a place where not a single person is there or when a person is kept in a place where not many people is allowed throughout the day, for instance, in healthcare institutes, etc. A person may be found isolated when he or she has been left out of a group or similar situation and is left to spend time on his/her own
