Definitely the best hostel in Malta. Im solo traveller, but I met wonderful people there that my friendship will stay forever. Hostel has free tours every day with Patricia, who is a wonderful tour guide. Without her my holiday will not be perfect. Hostels rooftop bar is a plus to meet people and enjoy the music. Happy Hours are amazing to get 2 drinks for cheap prices. Hostel is close to everywhere. At the bar, turkish nights and latin nights were amazing people who came from outside to the bar, which was good to know and get socialise. I traveled 5 different countries in a year and this was my best holiday ever I took ❤️

It's been more than 10 years since I started coming to this hostel, and honestly, it is still one of the best I know in all of Europe. I mean, it is clean, very clean, spacious, comfortable, and very well located. In many hostels, the rooms stink, but that is not the case here, and on top of that, the beds are very comfortable!

The hostel is really nice and comfortable. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The owner, James, is very easy to talk to. Dhanraj, one of the staff, is really very helpful and a nice person. He is doing a great job. I had a comfortable experience. I would recommend this hostel to everyone who is seeking to feel like home whilst travelling.

The building is secure, with a nice large garden area to relax, as well as place inside with a large tv to relax. The showers are exceptionally good for a hostel, you also have access to all your kitchen needs. The manager/owners are very kind people and we'll spoken in English.

After a hard day of touring around Malta, it was the perfect accomodation to relax with some AC turned on, a nice shower and get a goodnight sleep. I had a very pleasant stay and the staff were exceptionally nice!

very friendly hotel staff, they help in everything, always maintain order and create a family atmosphere. Camillo, despite the finished shift, continued to provide us with help and support in opening the coconut, because we wanted to try it. I highly recommend this hostel

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 :)
