    One of the best hostels I've ever seen!
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Bed in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The A/C blows straight to one of the beds in each room. I didn't get a bed like that, but some had issues with it.

    Staff was great, the hostel is huge but nicely centralised! You can chill at the pool or hang out in the kitchen, there will be always people around and it has a nice vibe! Please note it is not a party hostel (at least it wasn't when we got there) but some people were complaining. Noemi at the reception was exceptionally nice and kept a good vibe during our stay! :)

    Breakfast is made out of very bad quality products. Maybe, it’s could be great to make it more expensive but decent. Because for me the breakfast was included but I ate it only once because I did not like it. Coffee was the worst then ever…

    This hostel is really great, recommended! They give a towel for free, you can rent for free diving mask, even the EU adapter for socket was there near the bed (if you have Iphone adapter). Location is amazing as well, really easy to commute anywhere.

    Too less toilets in the room of 12 people, one is not enough if the room is full

    It was amazing, a lot of places for hanging around, working or just sleeping by the pool. Morning terrace where the breakfast were served was really awesome too!!! One of the best hostels I been I could say 😍😍😍😍 if im back in malta one day it will be my number 1 choice.

    Absolutely nothing

    Loved the location and the well thought out conversion of an older place with history. The rooms were well appointed with sturdy well sized comfortable beds, power outlet, light , privacy curtain & spacious storage under bed so guests luggage ( or most of it) was able to be secured & out of other guests way. Liked that the 8 bed dorm had not only an ensuite bathroom but an extra toilet as well. Other facilities such as the kitchen, sitting areas were kept very clean & everything seems to be well maintained. Lovely pool area to chill & relax. Appreciated the provided all you can eat breakfast buffet on the lovely outside terrace. Also appreciative of complimentary stored luggage facility while I went to Gozo for a couple of days. Lots of helpful & friendly staff & extensive information displayed to help folk plan their time & how to get around. 24 hr reception also helpful. Truly lives up to the "Boutique" in its name. Couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommended.

    Great place to stay in Malta. Staff is very kind and helpful, breakfast is good, pool area is amazing, especially in the evening. The location is great - close to several decent beaches and close to the bus station from where you can go to any part of the island.

    The AC in the room is weirdly positioned so if you get a bed under it blows into your face

    The hostel is big but nicely centralised so you will always meet people. It is not a party place but you can always fine people to go out with. Staff was amazing, mainly Noemi, she always helped us and kept a great wibe around! Best are confortable and there are curtains as well!

Amazing staff, great breakfast, the place was always very clean and quiet, which i loved. I met fantastic people, and some have already been back to the hostel a few times.

    Music constantly playing in the background during the day. All electric sockets are non-EU so bring an adapter or buy at the reception. The AC broke during my last day so the night was sweaty, I don’t know if it got fixed after.

    Nice areas to chill, socialize or work. Well located between historical center and nightlife. Staff pretty helpful. Breakfast has everything.

    There is large area outside the hostel premises with a lot of roosters, which is fine, but they can wake you up very early in the morning. Minor problems with vending machines.

    All in all liked everything about my stay. Very close to the sea and public transport. Room was very clean. Several breakfast opstions in the morning, which is also good. Functional and organized kitchen, if you wish to make your own meal.

    The aircon is turned off from 11am until 8pm everyday and it is very hot. Something to keep in mind if you plan to spend time in the room for these hours.

    Love the pool, nice rooms, good kitchen facilities. Good location near st Julian’s, but not too close.

    The air-conditioning that turns on automatically around 7pm. You have to ask the reception to not turn it on otherwise it is really cold. Shame there is no freezer. Bring your own shower gel.

    Exceptionally clean, great location. Beds are comfortable and nice to have curtains on all of the beds, feels more private. Really nice common area and nice kitchen with all you need (no oven though).
