Everything was really good. The bed was comfortable, I was staying in a 4 bed female dormitory and we had 2 bathrooms, which was amazing. The place was big enough. The drawers were also really big, everything fit inside. The madrass was really comfortable. It felt luxury for the price. Everything was good.

Lovely traditional building in the heart of Sliema. easy to reach by public transport and located near supermarkets, bars, restaurants and shops. I slept in a 4 beds mixed dorm with private bathroom, with respectful guests. Room was quite spacious with private drawers for personal belongings and luggages (locker could be rented) Bathroom really clean and extra disinfectant and toilet paper were provided. Really relaxing spa that consisted of a jacuzzi bath and Finnish sauna that needs to be booked in advance. Large kitchen and fresh drinkable water for free. Friendly and caring staff.

Literally everything. If I could, I would rate this stay a 100 / 10 - seriously though, the staff was like none other. So sweet and friendly, hanging out with everyone in the hostel and making it truly feel like a home. Everyday a (lovely) cleaner came through the space, asking how we were and keeping everything so clean. Cute outdoor space just off the kitchen which makes for an awesome breakfast spot plus an incredible roof top for chilling and hanging out!! Location is perfect if you’d like to be central in a lively but not obnoxious city - it’s got great access to transit about 5 min walk that will take you literally anywhere you need/want to go! As a bonus, the people this hostel attracts says it all. I made some really great connections in this space and will always come back to Hostel On if I’m ever in Sliema again (fingers crossed that I will be!!) xox

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.

It‘s a very nice place to stay, the staff is very friendly and helpful. I got many great recommendations what to see in Malta as well, which was awesome :) The location in Sliema is great, a nice and safe area from where you can also reach all other enjoyable areas in Malta well. It‘s a very clean hostel. Also, I liked the pretty tiles on the floor in my room :)
