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.

    Great location, great communication with the owner. All you need if you look for a cheap place to stay and good enough if you aren't too fussy but still want to have a nice place.

    Excellent place! Great location to explore the island. We came to Malta for a carnival in February. The weather was amazing. The hotel is located close to a ferry terminal to Valletta- 5 min max a ferry ride and you are in Valletta. It was cheaper and more sensible option ( time wise) to travel by Bolt taxi. The hotel has really good facilities- great breakfast with a view to the sea! You also get access to a sauna etc. rooms are clean and modern with a coffee machine. We loved everything!

    Great location, close to the water and Sliema, and in a nice safe street. There is a small supermarket near by. I liked best that the rooms are spacious with a nice balcony. The staff is friendly and helpful.

    The staff were always so friendly and helpful. Great location being in the centre of Gzira/Sliema so you could walk to mostly everywhere. The area is also very safe and as a solo (female) traveller, at no point was I concerned about walking back to the hotel late at night. Loved how spacious and comfortable the room was, it was near perfect!

    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 :)
