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 :)

Situated within 2.2 km of MedAsia Beach and 2.4 km of Tigné Point Beach, L'Artist Casa Micallef provides rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Valletta. Located around 600 metres from Manoel Theatre, the hostel with free WiFi is also less than 1 km away from University of Malta - Valletta Campus. University of Malta is 5.8 km away and Hal Saflieni Hypogeum is 6.7 km from the hostel.

It was my first experience in a hostel and even though I had my doubts I would for sure recommend it. It was fully equipped and very clean. The beds were comfortable and in the room there was enough space for everyone. Plus there where lockers where one can leave his things (remember to brink a lock with you). The location was perfect as it was located in the beginning of the old city and one can have easy access to the buses and at the same time go out to the old city.

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.

    They offered me a single room insted of a bed in a dormitory because the hostel was pretty crowded when I arrived. The staff very friendly, the breakfast better than in other hostels, not extraordinary, but good enough. They had a delicious tart every morning. The location was nice, close to a lot of bus stops that took you to Valletta and within walking distance from Sliema. They cleaned the room every 2 days.

    Absolutely a gem of a property. The apartment is extremely well maintained, spacious and is exactly as shown in the pictures. All amenities you’ll require for a long or a short stay. The owners are super friendly and helpful. The location is exactly mid way to Valletta and Sliema, hence you very well connected by bus and super cheap cabs. We stayed for 4 nights with our 4 year old. Recommend this proposal 100%.

    the apartment is in a great location and it has a lot of open shared space, a great kitchen and large bathroom. Everything was clean and we didn't have any trouble with our cohabitants. Our room was rather small with a small window and it was a bit hard to ventilate it and the towels should be changed at least every two days. Still, our stay was comfortable and you can always spend some time in the shared space or simply exploring Malta. Also, great price, much cheaper than valetta apartments.

    The location was good enough, there are several bus stops next to the hostel so you can go anywhere. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, clearly happy with their job, which I always respect. The rooms were clean, there are towels included, and the A/C works just fine. There is a machine which has drinkable water you can get, so that's definitely a win.
