Reviews of AM Hostel

The location is great and is good value for money. Rooms were decently sized and staff was aiming to be helpful

Basic goods (like toilet paper or the soap dispenser being refilled) were missing. Note the €20 deposit MUST be in cash, otherwise you will end up like I did, waiting for 1h at the risk of losing a flight, waiting for a basic transaction.

The location. It was clean and the staff were friendly.

There are some things that I find rather weird, inconvenient and inhospitable. First of all, there is not control for the AC in the room so every time I had to go to the reception to ask them to turn it on or off. This is the main reason for the low review actually. The layout of the beds was also wrong because the AC was facing directly on on the beds. Also, no key was given to us for the main door so we had to wait for someone to open it each time it was closed. Also, I didn’t understand why there was no access to the kitchen all day or at least from morning till night since it’s a hostel. We could only access the kitchen during the morning from 7 am - 9 am and again in the evening. At least, the staff were very friendly, which made the whole situation tolerable.

The location was good.

The beds felt really unstable, pretty much everything including locker, outlets, light on my bed was broken when i got there. No real effort from staff to fix any of this short term or offer different bed. The shower drain barely worked and the bathroom was flooded as soon as someone took a shower. The room was tiny and the whole place had a strange smell.

it was in a good position, not too far from anything and the rooms were pretty clean and there was air conditioning. it was a pretty good stay.

i just think that a hostel should be able to provide also a kitchen to be able to cook for lunch and dinner. having a hostel and no available kitchen i think defeats the purpose of it

Location was great, close to the beach, bus stops, shops and restaurants. Room was clean. Clean bedsheets and towels. As solo traveler I felt super safe. Comfortable bed. Good air conditioning. Room and bathroom was spacious.

No breakfast option.

The only thing that we liked about the property was the location. Close to plenty of bus stops, grocery stores and the beach.

We booked the private twin room, we didn’t stay in the dorms. First of all, the bed frames were the cheapest that you could possibly think of. Every time we moved in the bed, we felt as if the bed itself was on the verge of collapse. The sink in the bathroom was clogged nearly all the time. The room lacks any sort of hangers for your beach wear, which is very ridiculous giving the fact that the beach is just meters away from the hostel! There is no remote for the air conditioning, you have to go down to the reception every time you want to switch it on or off. The bed linen was dirty and full of stains! The housekeeping service would come at very inappropriate and random times in the afternoon, when we would have wanted to just use our private room. We left our towels on the bathroom floor signaling that we want a new change of towels. The housekeeping service simply put them back on the hangers. Mind boggling! When we asked for a new change of towels they told us that they provide one only once a week. We actually had to pay a whopping 12€ for a single towel because they refused to provide us with such a basic amenity for free. Mind you, this is about the twin room which has a booking price significantly higher than the dorms beds. The staff seemed bored and disinterested. One guy at the reception forgot to switch off the AC and we had to ask him twice. When confronted he seemed very clueless and offended that we came with such a ridiculous request!

Location

A hostel can’t control who they put in a room, put they can control how many. I booked a four bed female dorm and they just put one extra person, I ended up with 3 more party girls that smoked and partied all night, got back to the room at 5am - loud, smelly, turning all the lights on, zero respect even after I spoke up. NOT OK.

Location was nice

We were 3 girls in a 4 person dorm. Imagine going back from a hot day under the sun to find your room keys not working. We went to the reception who was shocked as apparently 3 girls checked in that day and are occupying the beds that we've been staying for the past 2 nights. He opened the door for us and told us to pack our stuff and moved rooms (while the 3 new girls are laying on our made up beds and our stuffs that were on the beds were piled up on the table) and when asked how could it happen he just said "Idk my shift started an hour ago". I think most of the staff are trainees and there are clearly lack of communication, organization, and I would say some basic common sense (why should we moved rooms, why not the new 3 girls who just got there got assigned the new rooms). Air con are centralized so if the room is too hot/too cold you have to go down to the reception. Stayed in many many hostels, never encountered this level of disorganization.

Really well located, decent rooms, funny staff cuz they re students learning english (august)

Towels only changed once a week, the room service only consists of vaccum and does not really make the room any cleaner

Clean, friendly staff, very good price for the standard

Location and service

Options for breakfast

Its location in Sliema was good, close to the beach and some shops etc

Honestly other than the location it was terrible, overpriced for what it was, 3 bunk beds lined up in a hot room, I was supposed to stay for 4 nights but ended up just staying one and cutting my trip short. The room was hot and not cleaned well, the staff were not helpful at all, and rather uninterested in their job. It was not a welcoming environment. I’m not opposed to a hostel where it’s not super social but it was more the general vibe that wasn’t very welcoming. I wouldn’t stay again and I would advise others not to stay also. I have stayed in many Hostels and this would have to be one of the worst i’ve stayed in.

AM Hostel exceeded all my expectations. The place was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had a warm, welcoming vibe the moment I stepped in. Every little detail — from the comfy beds to the thoughtful common areas — showed how much care and pride the staff take in creating a home-like experience. What stood out most was the staff — genuinely kind, helpful, and always ready with a smile or great local advice. You don’t just stay at AM Hostel — you feel like you belong there. It’s easily one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at.

Honestly, it’s hard to find anything I didn’t like. If I had to mention something, it would be that my stay felt too short — I didn’t want to leave! The atmosphere, the people, the comfort — everything made it feel like a place you could happily stay much longer. That’s how good AM Hostel is

There was mould on my pillowcase and the shower curtain. My towel was dirty, no soap in the toilet or shower. Shower head was broken. Additionally, I was told there was no clean drinking water for Booking.com guests and my only option was to purchase their water.

Easy access to the lifts for bags

- Dirty sheets - No control to the AC - Noisy from school children - Next to a school group - Wouldn’t tell us where the laundry facilities were

Very friendly and helpful staff (the Italian and the colombian receptionnists in particular).
