    Beautiful facility very clean, great location with swimming pool. I was in a women's room with 10 beds but very spacious with two showers inside, each bed with its own curtains to allow privacy to all great location for young people who want to easily reach party places, but also very close to the beach, , very close bus services to reach different places in Malta. Kitchen and the common areas, spacious and spotlessly clean

    No shampoos/body wash. Breakfast buffet could be better with price. But overall great hostel still. I would still stay again.

    Friendly, accommodating staff. They offer luggage storage while waiting for check-in and you can use the facilities, common areas and the pool while waiting. Rooms are well air-conditioned with privacy in each bed. All Areas were clean. The use of the kitchen was also convenient and they made sure things were organised. Location was perfect. Really pleasant hostel.

    I wish the water dispenser in front of the hostel would work. Also the lockers are kinda hard to get to because the beds are close together.

    Very good location, friendly people, AC, comfortable beds. Nice pool, kitchen with a good system for keeping your groceries.

    A paper should be placed in every room saying that silence must be maintained after 11 p.m. Doors should be opened and closed slowly so that others are not disturbed.

    Very delicious

    Only one small thing but checking in took a while (the room wasn't ready).

    Lovely hostel, rooms are very clean and beds very comfortable. Common areas beautifully decorated and lots of space and to sit and relax, both inside and out. Pool, gardens, pool bar and cafe are nice and the location is great just a few minutes walk to Ballutta Bay, cafes, restaurants, shops and bus routes but when you are at the hostel, it's a haven of peace. Definitely recommend!!

    Guests have full control over the aircon which is amazing but it can get super hot or cold depending on who is in the room and their preferences, during the summer you only get given a sheet as a blanket. I didn’t realise but you can ask reception for a doona if you get cold!!

    10/10 across the board! Firstly the staff are amazing, I was injured during my stay and all of them made me feel comfortable and were super helpful. The facilities are incredible, fully equipped kitchen (even has a blender and rice cooker), large common area, really nice pool, a cafe and a bar, what more could you want?! Beds were comfy, curtains are always a win and each dorm set up was spacious and clean. Location is perfect, close to anything you could need!

    Chickens next door were obnoxious in the morning but not much anyone can do about that, not the hostels fault. And there was some loud construction going on in the hostel which started before 8 in the morning. Wouldve been nice if they started it a bit later in the day.

    Great hostel. Extremely clean. Loved that the shower and toilet were seperate. Aircon in the room was a life saver. The common areas are really spacious. Breakfast in the morning was lovely - had boiled eggs, toast, ham/cheese, yoghurt, cereal, coffee/tea/juice, bit of veg, cakes and oranges. One of the best hostels I've stayed in.

    I paid for a room with accommodation for four people and after the 4th day the room was always with 6 people which was uncomfortable because it was not what I paid for. The included breakfast is fine but it does not change anything, every day it is the same. On the third day I was already tired of having the same breakfast.

    The place is very nice and has everything you need to spend a few days on the island, the reception staff is very attentive and has many rest areas

    From the location to the rooms everything was excellent. They cleaned every day and the stuff is really nice. The receptionist Asif was so amazing, kind and helpful, he did everything he could to make the stay for each guest as pleasant as possible. He should get a raise😂 Also the rooms are the same as on the pictures.

    Great facilities and pool, but renovations and poor night reception service spoiled the experience

    During my stay, they were doing floor renovations, so there was a lot of noise and it was hard to get to my room. I even had a little accident because the path wasn’t cleared. And honestly, the night guy at reception… not great. He just follows the rules without thinking, stirs things up with guests, and doesn’t really pay attention !! which leaves a bad impression for people staying there. Please give him some training on how to speak to and treat guests, even if they make mistakes or get things wrong.

    I really liked how clean everything was, especially the way they keep the pool in great shape. The staff pays attention to every little detail, and the pool bar really gives the hostel a nice boost — so well done on that! But please review the breakfast… where are my omelettes? 😋

    Some fruit at breakfast would have been nice

    There was no warm water in our private bathroom and private room is in the basement so it's quite humid, but there's an ac so it's not that big of a deal during summer months

    Very nice and attentive staff, hostel is clean and spacious and a huge bonus is that they offer luggage storage pre/post checkout which really came in handy. Simple delicious breakfast and pool access with laying areas and pool bar. There's also a caffe in the building that offers good happy hour deals on cocktails. All in all a very pleasant stay :)
