    The location was amazing! It‘s very affordable. I don‘t like some smell of the blankets and towels. But overall it‘s recommendable!

    It does tend to get quite hot in the room during the day, even with the AC and fan on. I think that was only due to the savings of energy because of the power cuts in Malta.

    A very nice hostel, with friendly people and nice staff. The hostel has everything you need and more. It was my first time staying in a hostel and I couldn't have made a better choice. You can be as social as you want and you can always get away and get some alone time, which I liked. Can't wait to come back next summer.

    I did not like one thing. My friend went to hostel to call me because I was sleeping (jet leg feeling) and my phone was no batery. A guy from the front desk was rude with her. She was just worried because she could not talk to me on that moment.

    I like all hostel. Clean and beautiful!

    This hostel seems a place for group of friends rather than for solo travelers just in my experience.

    The AC in the room mostly because the temperature was too low and it was difficult to regulate the temperature

    The location was perfect. There are a few supermarkets and restaurants around. The building was beautiful too! Just like in the pictures! The rooms were tidy and neat and spacious! Linen was included together with a towel. The rooms had AC (crucial if you are coming in summertime). The breakfast was included as well

    No organised hostel activities, which feels like a missed opportunity, though there is plenty of information available about activities run by other companies.

    Fantastic location, super close to the beach and walking distance to nightlife, but far enough away from Paceville that it’s quiet. Well-equipped and organised kitchen with heaps of common areas to hang out in. Breakfast buffet and the pool are both fantastic bonuses. Rooms are well set up with lamps, power outlets, curtains, and enough showers that you don’t have to wait. They offer laundry for a reasonable amount and there are plenty of clotheslines for wet swimmers.

    Nothing to dislike. It is a hostel, so be considerate to other guests.

    Location short walk to the bus stop. Price. Breakfast al fresco. Privacy curtains on bunk beds. Complete privacy on toilets and it is ensuite. Pool. Spacious common area. Staff are friendly, accomodating.

    Inhawi is a boutique hostel based close to Balutta Bay, it's a great location! Very close to supermarkets, restaurants, bus stops and beaches. The hostel has such a great atmosphere! The bed is confy, the kitchen is good, they have a lovely swimming pool, the breakfast was nice and the view from the hostel is stunning! For those working remotely the wifi is very stable. I liked that things were clean and organised and everyone was friendly. I definitely recommend the place!

    It wasn't the most social place between guests. Although there were some events, it would be nice if there was more going on to help solo travellers meet. It would also be good if the upstairs bathroom was open all the time as there was only 1 shower in our 8 bed dorm and only 1 toilet had soap for washing hands.

    Great location, friendly staff, well equipped kitchen and spacious common area. There's lots of information available about activities and excursions. Near to shops, bars, restaurants and public transport and right next to the beach.

    No air con during the day (fans only), just at night which was a bit extreme considering it was 32+ degrees. The under bed storage trundles didn't really work -if I locked mine, it would block the adjacent storage from opening. Luckily I trusted the people in my room and didn't need to lock my bags away.. Power cut meaning all fans turned off amd rooms quickly got quite hot, and no warn water to shower with. When I tried to check out so unable to get an invoice at the time, which was fine, but staff then seemed very confused when I wanted an invoice when I came to collect my bag?

    The staff were really nice especially at check in The breakfast food was simple but filling. The kitchen area is well supplied. The pool is open until late, and the location is good.
