One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. The staff is super nice, the room is very well thought with that middle stairs that are used for upper beds, the bathroom clean, the kitchen available for use, the balcony cozy, the AC works excellent and last but not least, the mini croissants they serve for breakfast are out of this world! Such a great value for money!

Ommi Hostel in St Julian's provides adults-only accommodation with a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. The property is set 2.2 km from St George's Bay Beach, 2.2 km from Bay Street Shopping Complex and 1.9 km from Portomaso Marina. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage for guests.

Everything was great. Big kitchen, big common area with TV, space to work, patio, safe lockers, sockets next to beds, clean toilets/showers, new appliances. I would say it's not a party hostel, it's more for people who want a quiet stay. Some people stay there long term and either work in town or online and respect quiet hours. Many Spanish speakers. I loved the place and it really felt like home :)

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.

    The previous reviews about Blubay Apartments, Fleet Street we read prior to our holiday did not reflect our stay. The apartments are in an older building and the acoustic soundproofing is not the best but ear plugs sorted this. The property is in a great location close to all the amenities and bus stops. The studio was more than adequate. Great roof terrace with plunge pool. Clean. Helpful & friendly staff. If fact we have already booked to return in September.

    Great location, easy transport links... Sliema ferry only 10min walk away and the bus stop is 2mins away. Great restaurants close by, large variety. We had 2 issues in the room but this was dealt with quickly when raised with reception.

    The propriety is more like co-living space, than hostel, which is nice cause you get your own room. The people we’re friendly and gives the campus/student vibes. The market on front of the property very useful. Very close to the main spots Valletta and Sliema

    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 :)

    Mark (host) is very helpful and kind. He is full of goodwill and always available for a talk/to help you out. The room and bathroom were being cleaned everyday and the bed was comfortable. The kitchen upstairs has the utensils you need and the rooftop is a nice addition. It was fun to talk to new people at the hostel! The location is also at walking distance to the ferry going to Valletta. Overall, me and my friend had a lovely stay at Walter’s B&B and in Malta too.
