    Follow the Sun Hostel clearly excels in creating a welcoming and comfortable environment, evidenced by its friendly staff, clean facilities, and reliable amenities like warm water and comfortable beds. The stunning terrace view and varied breakfast options are significant pluses, contributing to a pleasant and memorable stay. The hostel's quiet atmosphere, while generally positive, also suggests a focus on relaxation. Strengths: * Exceptional Staff: The welcoming nature of the staff is a cornerstone of a positive hostel experience, and Follow the Sun Hostel appears to deliver on this front. * Comfort and Cleanliness: Cleanliness and comfortable beds are essential for any accommodation, and the hostel's provision of these, along with reliable warm water, is commendable. * Terrace Views and Breakfast: The combination of a scenic terrace and a varied breakfast enhances the overall guest experience, providing opportunities for relaxation and social interaction. * Quiet Atmosphere: The quiet ambiance is ideal for travelers seeking rest and relaxation, setting it apart from potentially noisier hostels. * Bed Privacy: The fact that the beds offer sufficient privacy is a large plus for many hostel goers. * Social Atmosphere: Easygoing and friendly and a large Plus is the pool in the backyard Overall: Follow the Sun Hostel appears to be an excellent choice for travelers seeking a clean, comfortable, and relaxing stay in Sliema. Its strengths lie in its attentive staff, well-maintained facilities, and pleasant atmosphere. However, travelers seeking a highly social or party-oriented experience might want to consider alternative options. The hostel's focus on tranquility and comfort makes it a valuable addition to Sliema's accommodation offerings.

    Great! Exceptional value for money and pleasant facilities

    • Bed in 6-Bed Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    The shower head in my room was slightly broken: you had to use it as a hand held because it wouldn't stay on the hook. Not a big deal, and the water pressure was excellent.

    Exceptional value for money - the hostel really exceeded my expectations. I paid around 60 euro total for a 4 night stay, so I wasn't expecting anything amazing, but the hostel was really nice and breakfast and towels were even included. I didn't use the pool, but there is one available. They have a very comfortable lounge area and big kitchen for all guests. The room was very clean and quiet (except for the noise of the local roosters in the morning, but that's not the hostel's fault!). The bunk beds have privacy curtains which is a nice touch. Very good location: right next to the bay, and multiple bus stops nearby which can get you to anywhere on the island.

    Beautiful historical building near the beach and restaurants. In the wintertime it is a bit cold inside. Heating in the room is upon request. There are 2 shower units, but only 1 toilet in the room for 12, which is not enough, as it is together with a shower. In peak hours it is almost impossible to use a toilet. A fan blowing a cold air just above the shower unit is not a good idea at all! Breakfast was good, coffee just bareable. Staff was very nice and helpful, available nonstop. I would come back :).

    I would suggest something for the room, for example having an extra toilet and having a little box or chaur in the shower where we can leave our stuff while we take shower and be more comfortable. And I will advise a bigger shelf for the bed. That one is very small, you can just place water and phone.

    I liked the pool areA, the cleanings, the kitchen area and the people here.

    Here's a sample review: The staff were super friendly and welcoming, always happy to help with any questions or recommendations. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with plenty of space to relax.One of the highlights of my stay was the social atmosphere - the hostel has a great communal area where you can meet other travelers and make new friends. Overall, I would highly recommend Inhawi Hostel to anyone traveling to Malta. It's a fantastic place to stay, with a great location, friendly staff, and a wonderful atmosphere.

    We visited Malta in February so it was sometimes cold. The rooms do not have an AC remote in the rooms so you have to go to the receptionist every time you feel a little bit cold. The rooms got very humid so our towels, pyjamas and bed got wet. We would recommend a dehumidifier.

    It was the first time me and my friend stayed in a hostel in general. I was very skeptic but was pleasantly surprised. The staff is friendly and useful, the facilities are clean, the pool area is fun (you are going to meet a lot of cool people), the kitchen is useful and they also have a couch and a room with bean bags to chill. The breakfast is good and they have a lovely terrace where you can eat, drink coffee or just chill and soak in the sun:)

    There were a few issues, with things like plumbing, but considering these issues were inherited from the previous owners (recent change of owner and management) they were in it. Leaking pipe in the bathroom was fixed within a few hours. Any dirty areas from other hostlers were cleared up quickly.

    The location and the staff where wonderful; helpful, knowledgable, courteous, sociable and professional
