    Nothing to mention.

    I appretiated how clean the facility was. The view on the sea and the beds were also very nice as well as the location. Easy to get around and easy to get to and from the airport.

    the one downside to bathrooms inside the room is people who chose to take long showers in the shower/toilet rather than the shower only stall and people who had extensive hair routines with a blow drier (you're at the beach!) at 7am

    definitely one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in - the best of the basics (curtains around and individual lights by the beds, more than enough hooks, towel and linens provided), spacious, with a good mix of interaction and quiet space, close to transport and the beachfront, helpful staff; plus the extras like breakfast, hammocks, a pool! it's amazing it's the price it's at.

    I couldn't fault it. We didn't have a single issue.

    The location was excellent, literally a two minute walk to balluta bay where you can take a dip in the sea. Within walking distance of loads of nice bars and restaurants also. The hostel itself is lovely, nicely decorated with very good facilities.

    Nice location, close to the city, beach and bus stops around. When I visited in October the hostel was located in the shade which means there are no sun around the pool. Great view of the ocean from the room. Two showers in the 12 bed female dorm that I stayed in. AC working, and comfortable beds. Okey breakfast. Nice people working there.

    When I arrived I was told because I had booked my stay so early (May) they were forced to split my booking and I had to check out and switch rooms after two nights. Eventually I ended up being in two different 4-bed rooms when I had booked a bed in a 6-bed room. Fine, at least I had a bed for all 4 nights, but I just found this very strange.

    I had a good stay. I didn't use the pool since other guests told me the water is very cold but I loved hanging around it. The garden with hammocks was very beautiful. Location is close to Balluta Bay bus stops and it's a walking distance from places like Paceville and Sliema ferries so you can also get to Valletta easily.

    The wifi was great in the common room but a bit more unstable in the room, sometimes it was not connecting or not that strong. The breakfast is a bit essential, maybe something warm would have been appreciated, but for an hostel it is ok

    Great position, very clean and the structure in general was very nice. All the beds had a reading light and curtains. Common room and swimming pool were both very nice

    Everything was great! Good experience!

    It was clean, they were cleaning the rooms and bathroom everyday. The breakfast was included which was great. The stuff was super friendly, they helped a lot! You can alse reserve trips on the reception. There is a pool and outside area which is awsome for hanging out! There is also kitchen with boxes where you store your own things. The location is great, walkable to St. Julian’s and Silema. The enviroment around is very nice, and there is a beach 2 minutes away.

    In garden vas nice to chill under lemon trees. Good location, nearby everything needed. In kitchen is friendly system, that guests can keep their food in their boxes with name and if they do not need something anymore, then leave the food in free boxes for everybody :) You need your own lock, to close box for things under the bed. Previous time did buy the lock from reception, so now already had it :) Breakfast table was good, with many choices, eating outside with lovely view.

    The room was quite damp despite AC and fan running. Location wise it was a bit of a hassle getting to and from Valletta as buses were irregular and often packed. The ferry from Sliema was a better option but a bit of a walk from St Julian. Breakfast was not quite as shown in the pics on Booking, but still very nice for a hostel.

    Well-kept facility and friendly staff. Appreciated the complimentary breakfast. Nice clean sheets and curtains for the beds. Close to the bus stop.

    The first few nights the hot water wasn't working properly. Some of the breakfast items weren't covered properly and had flies hanging around. Their washing machine didn't work.

    I really liked the location and the fact that it had a pool. Also, the storage lockers under the bed were nice and big, I could fit my open suitcase in there. The breakfast was also really good as it included bacon and eggs.
