Clean, loved the space but above all, the curtains giving privacy in a hostel. Beyond that, how the manager helped me when I had an injured leg. Went to the chemist for me, kept on checking to see if I was okay and did I need help, food, anything. He was brilliant and I will go back there each time. Shops all handy.

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.

    I did some work while I was here, and the WiFi was great. The place was clean and it's in a great location. The bed is super comfortable, and you get 2 really nice pillows, which is rare in hostels.

    Good hostel with many positive people and super nice staff. however only 3 bathrooms for all people in the hostel is not enough when the hostel is full. Top bank bed is quite high and have no bars (to prevent from falling down) which made me feel a bit unsafe since i'm afraid of heights.

    James is nice. He does take the time to talk with his guests and gives advices to help them have the best possible experience in Malta. The kitchen is clean. So are the common areas. Altogether, this is a pretty well maintained backpacker hostel. Also this is pretty quiet at night so slept very well.
