I stayed for five nights at this hostel and I was lucky to enjoy and 8 people dorm for myself. The hostel seems pretty new. The room was spacious and it had two bathrooms inside. Location was good, easy to reach by bus and it was also very quiet. The hostel has a well equipped kitchen and a pool area with a deck. That was really nice. I found the staff to be accomodating and attentive.

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 :)
