    Breakfast is not special, but still you can find something delicious to eat. Just the coffee is really bad.

    Lockable drawers underneath the beds with lots of storage for all your stuff (very convenient). The beds were comfortable and very stable so you don't shake the whole structure when climbing up to the top bunk. Curtains around every side of the bed for privacy. Big kitchen, nice pool area, friendly staff, nice view and good location. + you get a towel from the hostel for your stay

    One of my favorite hostels I have ever been to. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. They have several types of rooms, I had the chance to try the penthouse which offers an amazing terrace. The pool is pretty small and I saw it was cleaned every morning. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. The garden offers you a nice place to relax under the orange trees. It is located at walking distance from St. Julians center and Sliema.

    Nothing.

    All the staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring the comfort of all guests. The location was excellent being close to the bay, transport and many attractions. The facilities were excellent with a functional kitchen, a number of eating an lounging area's including the area around a lovely swimming pool, great bathrooms, shower rooms and laundry. All areas were spotlessly clean. The breakfast had enough variety and quality to satisfy anyone. This hostel deserves the high praise it has received from its customers.

    The kitchen is a bit small for the amount of people that stay and gets a bit hectic during dinner time for the students learning English, but a very small price to pay for a overall fantastic hostel!

    Amazing stay at Inhawi! It is rare that I extend several times, but I did here. The location was close to the Bay, the bus stops and groceries and restaurants nearby. The location was close to the livelihood of St. Julian's and Paceville, but far enough away that it was peaceful to sleep. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The free breakfast every morning is the best I've ever had at a hostel and sets you up for a great day of exploring! Lots of common space to hang out, work, work and enjoy with other guests. Great storage system in the kitchen as well. This hostel was clean and felt like home quickly, would definitely recommend!

    Best location and building for a hostel in Malta
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Bed in 12-Bed Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The staff could be friendlier, when I got there I didn't even get a "Hello", they just asked "Name?". Same with leaving luggage on the last day, at first the desk lady said no and then offered a solution, but I had to desperately ask for her help. Another thing I didn't love was the faucet in the room, outside the bathroom, so whenever someone got in the room late at night, they made a lot of noise washing, etc. Would be best to have them inside the toiler/shower area. The laundry service is a bit overpriced but helpful nonetheless.

    The location is amazing and the building is as well—stunning views of the ocean from most parts of the hostel. The pool is a plus although I didn't swim. Rooms are big, clean, and well-ventilated, mine even had a view. The beds are okay, the curtains help to maintain privacy. Lockers are a decent size but you have to bring your own lock. Breakfast is not incredible but included in the price and you get a great ocean view from the terrace.

    The only negativ thing could be when a new guest arrives in the middle of the night and they turn on the lights in the room speaking quite loudly. Mostly the guest understands to be quite once noises of snoring appears but as always there are some odd apples.

    I have stayed here for more than 100 days since last year and always enjoyed the welcoming feeling of the staff who makes you feel right at home. I like the swimming pool with the nice seating area where you have the opportunity to make new friends, the hammock in the garden where you can escape reality by yourself if you want and the breakfast overlooking the greenery of Malta with the roosters:)

    The Italian receptionist is not friendly. Every other staff member were nice

    Everything was perfect. Rooms with showers, there is a pool but the water is a little bit cold. There is a good breakfast available. Lockers for 2€ or if you bring yours you can use it. They gave a towel which you can change in the reception every day. I pretty much enjoyed everything.

    My room had a fan which was very noisy and I could not switch it off.

    Nice big hostel with a lot of information about everything you need, big kitchen, with nice view and close to bus stop. Friendly stuff, a lot of places to chill in garden and pool area. Good price.

    Just be aware that there's no elevator so if you have a heavy luggage, and you get a room on the top floor, you're gonna exercise a bit :D

    The staff is just lovely, and helpful. Location - you couldn't ask for a better one, if you're a party animal - close to St. Julian's but far enough to get some rest ;) Buses nearby, everything is within reach. The rooms are very spacious, which is a huge pro when you're in a dorm, and sometimes you'd like to have some space for yourself. Everything is clean, kitchen, and living room area are top notch, there's a pool if you want to just chill or hammocks to get that nap after lunch. Don't think twice, just book it. ;)
