The place was exceptionally clean, very close to the sea but also very quiet. The staff member was amazing, HE was so kind and such a genuinely nice person, who always has a warm smile to greet you, it felt like I was part of the corner hostel family, and this wasn't just to me I saw he welcomed all of the guests in the same way. If you are going to stay in Malta this should be the place that you stay, it is cozy and welcoming. In fact I would rate it as the best hostel that I have ever stayed in. I arrived on my birthday and I was given a very heart felt happy birthday, when I returned that day, although he had nothing else to give I was given one of his personal snacks as a gift. I know it wasn't much but it felt very special - its not the expensive presents that you remember the most, but I think i will always remember that present. Thank you for making my stay feel like I was part of your family. Oh the bed was also very comfy, and the pillows were good too.

After a hard day of touring around Malta, it was the perfect accomodation to relax with some AC turned on, a nice shower and get a goodnight sleep. I had a very pleasant stay and the staff were exceptionally nice!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

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
