The hostel is very clean, the facilities are new and the bed was comfortable. The location was perfect, as it was a 5-minute walk to the bus and ferry station. I have to say, however, that my favourite part of the stay was chatting with the staff, Steffi and Natasha were amazing! They made my Malta experience much better with their recommendations and suggestions. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Sliema.

The location was fantastic, making it easy to explore Malta. The hostel was always clean, and the staff—especially Yasir, Kashif, and Kedar—were incredibly friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the day trips covered almost every part of the island, which was a huge plus. The rooftop party was definitely a highlight—such a fun way to meet people and enjoy the stay

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Everything was clean, the room was pretty quiet, there are 3 toilets, one im the room, the other two in the common area, and two bathrooms. Kitchen and leisure rooms were quite nice and there were loads of dishes. Beach is nearby as well as the stores. And there is a very cheap bakery just above the hostel. Guests are really quiet. Use the jacuzzi, it is cool! The staff was really really nice and helpful! Would recommend!

This is by far the best Hostel I've ever been to: pretty cheap, but excellent services. Nice, comfortable and clean rooms, an amzin living room and kitchen, forthcoming staff etc... I'm still a little incredulous because it exceeded my expectations that were shaped by other hostels that aren't as good as this
