They were very welcoming! Everything was well cared for, the community space was always open for anyone (they didn't even really mind when people would let others in when the receptionists were off, since usually it was either well-known friends or other guests wanting to get out of the sun, etc). The kitchen was clean, and even though the beds were all rather cramped together and it was a little hard to get up into the top bunk every night, I had a genuinely rlly good experience there

Nice little hostel for those on a budget
We checked in super late and got the keys no problem. Unfortunately we couldn’t figure out where the private room was but finally someone helped us. The private room was decent. I was super excited to check out the rooftop spa and I found out that it was a dirty little hot tub and only open during certain times. The worker said that it wouldn’t be very warm, so we didn’t go in it. The rooftop isn’t very well maintained, my partner almost fell through the roof! Great area though and it was super close to shops and St. juliens bay which was nice.

The location is good and an easy walk to Spinola and Balluta Bay, and close to bus routes. There are some shops nearby too, like Spar. It was quiet too compared to other parts of St Julian’s like Paceville. The staff were friendly on check-in. Roof terrace has nice spaces to chill out.
It would be better if each bed had a small privacy light, like in other hostels, to avoid the big light. Your clean linen seems also to be in the locker, whereas the former guest’s bedding was still on yours when I arrived. The room also isn’t locked and the main entrance was open quite a lot so, while I didn’t have any issues, it seems possibly less secure than other hostels. Door to the room very creaky and loud, mattress springy, jacuzzi broken, and no outdoor pool as described. Also received random email saying I hadn’t paid when I had already so had to ask hotels.com to sort, and city tax was treble what it said on my booking (but still not a lot)
It was fine, but could be better

There are bedbugs inside, there are many people with luggage around the room that are dirty, it’s more a hostel for people that moves to Malta than tourists, I couldn’t sleep since they were drinking since early morning in the room

This was the most disgusting hostel I've ever stayed in. I'm not expecting much - but guys, the furniture was so gross in the common area that i didn't want to sit on it. My bed had a bug in it, the walls were absolutely filthy. I really considered just sleeping at the airport. DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE.

Εγώ επέλεξα να μείνω σε μονοκλινο δωμάτιο με προσωπική τουαλέτα. Το δωμάτιο και το μπανιο ηταν πολύ καθαρά και πολύ ευρύχωρα. Το προσωπικό ήταν ευγενικό και αρκετά εξυπηρετικό.

Confortável e próximo ao centro
Fiquei apenas 1 dia, pois meu voo era no período da noite, por este motivo escolhi o hostel.
Apesar do curtíssimo período, esse momento foi o suficiente para ver um poico do espaço que eles oferecem.
Deixei a minha mala quardada em uma caixa estilo baú abaixo da cama que era a minha (coloquei cadeado para proteção) o espaço comportou perfeitamente minhas malas, a cama era muito confortável e tinha travesseiro e um edredon, no meu espaço tinha também uma caixa onde era possível deixar o celular carregando.
Cortinas faziam a divisão e proporcionando privacidade e um ambiente escuro e conforto para dormir.
O banheiro era muito limpo, bem como a cozinha.
Todo o hostel tinha um agradável cheiro de limpeza e foi extremamente convidativo e se mostrou muito organizado.
Extremamente proximo ao centro e a 1 minuto andando do ponto de ônibus que vinha de Vallettta.
Recomendo
