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

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.

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!

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
