Each bed has privacy curtains, there are toilet, two showers, two sinks in the room. XL locker drawer under the beds. The pool area is nice. Breakfast 7:30-10 with a nice view! ATM very close. Very helpful and friendly staff. Booked a boat tour to Gozo at the reception. Bus stops are minutes away. There was a large group of teenagers there who were often quite loud in the evenings even after quiet hours, they were gathered at the far end by the pool but could still hear them well. Nevertheless it was a nice stay

This hostel was a really nice place to go for my first ever solo travel experience. I felt safe and the area was a perfect location to get to lots of different places in Malta. Easy transport service. I highly recommend getting the 222 bus as this will get you to where you want to be both places around the island. Thank you for having me and can't wait to stay here again

Good hostel. Limited AC though.
Stayed in room 208 for 3 nights. The room had 6 bunks, A/C, two fans, a table, 3 chairs and there was still plenty of room. Each bunk has a locker underneath the bottom bunk large enough to fit even a large backpack. Each bunk has privacy curtains, private light, two sockets, a very thin sheet to use as a blanket. One of the sockets is used for private light though. The mattress was soft. Too soft for my personal tastes, but it was okay. The bathroom was private to the room. Not ensuite, but directly opposite the room. In the bathroom was a WC and two showers. It was okay in terms of cleanliness, but the silicone really needs to be replaced with mould growing. There's also not much ventilation and expect to get hot and sweaty after a shower. Water pressure was okay and no problem getting hot water. Breakfast was included and there's a buffet with cooked food, choices of cereal, tea, coffee and juices. The cooked food includes scrambled eggs, baked beans and bacon. WiFi is available throughout the hotel, although it's unsecured. It works well. The hotel is located close to Balluta Bay and approximately the middle of a hill. I've only tried getting to Valletta via the ferry and it's about a 15-20 minutes walk to the port. Overall I had a good stay. There's limited AC around the hotel and the AC in the room is only switched on at certain times. Guests had to ask more than once for it to be turned on. The provided breakfast is varied enough for 3 days

I think it’s the best area on the island. I love best the garden. Everything is very clean and there is a good atmosphere there. We can get the buses easily. It’s 2 minutes walk to the bay. There are shops, restaurants, beautiful beaches nearby.

Everything is good at that hostel, social, breakfast was good, toast with jam, honey, ham, cheese, also some eggs, tea, coffee, cereal. Pool area is great, pool not cleaned everyday, the only bad thing is noise, because you can hear everything from outside, so not good for light sleepers. Anyway, would recommend staying :)

The hostel would have been amazing. The staff is super nice and caring and the overall atmosphere is awesome. They have super nice workspaces. Unfortunately the A/C wasn’t on in any of the rooms ( as requested by some of the other travelers) and it was incredibly hot, stuffy and moist in the room. During a pandemic it felt rather dangerous to sleep in such a stuffy room. Probably best to stay in spring.

BAD for a holiday great for imigrants, retirees
More of a gross no security half way house then a nice safe social hostel. No social vibe here at all because Most people are long term stayng immigrants and poor creepy retired old men who get very agressive and rude with you becsuse they are so burnt out with months of the crowded atomsphere here. Which is why they need a two week limit here. Cause For the 150 guest they get per night many faclities are broken, no working wifi and very poorly managed and secured and the long term people are burnt out with it. Lots of food gets stolen over night by homeles people who also come in sleeping on the bean bags and pick through kitchen. The staff Dogs are peeing everywhere. Staff are unwilling to deal with all the chaos or accomodate you when u r feeling unsafe with the long term creeps. So all in all not meant for tourist if you are looking for a clean, safe, social and well upkept environment. I had guest and staff get aggressive with me over using a microwave nd common area to talk on phone and so forth.
