Hostel On, hotel in Sliema

Located in Sliema and with Exiles Beach reachable within a 5-minute walk, Hostel On has concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge.

It was wonderful! The owner/manager & staff was super helpful, accommodating, attentive, and friendly, that I actually became very good friends with them on Day 1, and we hung out a lot along with the other guests/tenants. The facility was clean, well-cared for, cozy, definitely the best value for money, in the middle of everything (close to the beaches, right at the city center, close to the ferry port/bus stations/shopping/dive centers/restaurants/cafes/parks/etc.) but at the same time a quiet area 2 blocks away from the main boulevard. The staff was very nice to organize some get-togethers with the hostel guests, and also went out with us to visit the old city, the bars, restos, and the beach. It's like meeting new friends to hang out with who are an awesome, genuine bunch of people. They also had terraces on the rooftop and ground floor that were cozy, and common kitchens you could use & store food. You have personal drawers you can use (make sure to bring your own locks), a hanging area at the rooftop for wet clothes, and also some shelves & 2 large fridges in the kitchen you can store your food. Notable mention to Vanesa, the owner/manager who was a wonderful host who greeted everyone with a great smile and made sure they were all comfortable and happy and attended to. She is one lovely person everyone should meet. I'm super glad I canceled the hotel, and decided to go with this hostel to meet people. It didn't disappoint. To Vanesa and the staff: THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY STAY IN MALTA A VERY MEMORABLE ONE! YOU GIVE ME REASONS TO COME BACK. I HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN! 😘

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    The property felt really safe and was in a great location. Overall we were really happy with our stay. The property was really clean and had a great feel about it. Would stay here again and the points below weren’t really big issues for me and my friend but rather just note them down so the hostel is aware.

    Everything was clean, the room was pretty quiet, there are 3 toilets, one im the room, the other two in the common area, and two bathrooms. Kitchen and leisure rooms were quite nice and there were loads of dishes. Beach is nearby as well as the stores. And there is a very cheap bakery just above the hostel. Guests are really quiet. Use the jacuzzi, it is cool! The staff was really really nice and helpful! Would recommend!

    Great location to visit Valletta by uber - very cheap. Beautiful coastal location so you can enjoy great restaurants and swimming along a gorgeous stretch of coast. Can uber in and out of Valletta whilst enjoying the coastal feel. Easy to bus to the ferry to visit the blue lagoon independently and cheaply compared to a tour.

    I like old stilish building, nice terasse at rooftop In winter time can be pretty empty hostel , quiet, but also cold inside, bcs there in dormitory not heating. There is elevator . From bus stop 300m. Beach side also 300 m from hostel. Street can be quiet. But also over night can be loud from street. Price for low budget.

    This is by far the best Hostel I've ever been to: pretty cheap, but excellent services. Nice, comfortable and clean rooms, an amzin living room and kitchen, forthcoming staff etc... I'm still a little incredulous because it exceeded my expectations that were shaped by other hostels that aren't as good as this
