Two Pillows Boutique Hostel, hotel in Il-Gżira

Conveniently located in the center of Sliema and 656 feet from the ferry harbor, Two Pillows Boutique Hostel is less than a 10-minute walk from Sliema's Tower Road beach.

An excellent hostel stay. The location is absolutely lovely, in a quiet lane just outside many shops and restaurants, ferry to Valletta, bus stop and the sea shore. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a very clean building well stuffed with amenities. People were respectful and nice. The free spa was a cherry on top.

Hostel 94, hotel in Il-Gżira

Set on the island of Malta, Hostel 94 is located in Sliema. Guests can leave their belongings into the lockers and relax in the shared lounge area.

The hostel itself was very decent, simple and in a great location - it provided exactly what I needed for the purpose of the travel. The hostel provided the same for others; which is something I find appreciable, without discrimination and making space for lives

    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 :)
