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.

Rooms come with a private en suite or external bathroom, while studios also offer a kitchenette. Studios have a balcony overlooking the pool or the university grounds. Dormitory rooms are also available.

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!

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.

    Beautiful apartment right in the middle of Valletta. Exceptional communication with the owners who entertained our requests and messages even late into the night. Comfortable fluffy bed, great location, and is in a safe neighbourhood - great for a couple's retreat or a family with kids. The property is exactly as how it is advertised in the photos.
