Someone recommended this hostel and I'm glad they did. I do not know of any other hostel that includes breakfast and it is very good ( my only tip would be for breakfast is to provide a selection of "mini crossiants" rather than cakes with your coffee! The staff are really friendly and helpful too! I also like how the cleaner cleans your room everyday and making everything look clean ( shout out to the CLEANER'S, THANK YOU)

I went during off peak season so I had a fairly quiet stay. The staff at the hostel was friendly. The room looked a bit outdated with no decor whatsoever but the bed was comfy and the shower was decent. The breakfast was free which was a plus. There wasn’t any social activities organised by the hostel. The location was nice and it’s easy to get around by foot or by bus.

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

The staff here have been really friendly and helpful and I have enjoyed my stay so far! The nicest hostile I have stayed at, I really enjoying the garden, hammock area, pool area, kitchen and lounge area, and the front entrance area outside where you eat breakfast. A great place for sure!

Great hostel overall! The only thing I’d mention is the smell in girls bedroom, due to mold on the walls. Nothing unbearable though. The hostel offers breakfast (I didnt try it), has a pool, offers towel, blankets on the bed, curtains on the beds… amazing service offers for the price you pay! And the location is amazing, in front of one of the main beaches in St Julian. Would definitely recommend!!

I’ve stayed in many hostels but this one is really value for money. Reasons to stay here: - Great location with view over the sea and really central - Good included breakfast - Clean and in good condition with a big kitchen and nice bathrooms - pool and a cozy garden with orange trees and hammocks Would definitely recommend this to others.

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.

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

Hostel has recently changed management, hence, we could not pay with card (cash or wire transfer only). In addition, card system for rooms did not work, had to use keys. Staff is amazing, they knew the answers to all my problems. Breakfast is available between 7.30-10.00, i loved eating and watching the sea. SPAR express and bottle deposit returning machine are all in 5-mins walk distance.

Excellent ! From the rooms to the general mood, this was all I was expecting from a hostel ! Nice and friendly staff, my room was clean and the big plus was the pool, heaven on Earth ! I would recommend to everybody and would definitely come back as soon as possible ! The breakfast is super and it's the perfect place for solo tripper looking for friends :)

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
