Excellent location as it is stone throw away from the Sliema promenade and rocky beach. The new, recent Spanish owners Fabio, Vanessa and Rodrigo are very welcoming and accomodating. It reminds me of the jolly nature of the Spanish people. The hostel has a patio with grotto, which can be a perfect place for breakfast and snacks. It has a spacious rooftop lounge which is accessible 24 hours and has been the venue of nightly catchup and drinks with fellow travellers, plus the best view of the night sky. The place makes me feel at home. Would be back when possible.

Exceptional value for money - the hostel really exceeded my expectations. I paid around 60 euro total for a 4 night stay, so I wasn't expecting anything amazing, but the hostel was really nice and breakfast and towels were even included. I didn't use the pool, but there is one available. They have a very comfortable lounge area and big kitchen for all guests. The room was very clean and quiet (except for the noise of the local roosters in the morning, but that's not the hostel's fault!). The bunk beds have privacy curtains which is a nice touch. Very good location: right next to the bay, and multiple bus stops nearby which can get you to anywhere on the island.

-Location was great -The room has modern furniture and is really comfortable -Good price -Staff is very helpful, I couldn't enter the front door at check-in, because the key code machine (don't know how to call it haha) was broken, so I called the property and Saury helped me instantly getting in by giving me a code to a key box with the back-up key and guided me through the check-in process Btw I noticed they changed the broken key code machine on the same day, which I thought was awesome

    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!

    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
