very friendly hotel staff, they help in everything, always maintain order and create a family atmosphere. Camillo, despite the finished shift, continued to provide us with help and support in opening the coconut, because we wanted to try it. I highly recommend this hostel

After a hard day of touring around Malta, it was the perfect accomodation to relax with some AC turned on, a nice shower and get a goodnight sleep. I had a very pleasant stay and the staff were exceptionally nice!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Everything was clean, the room was pretty quiet, there are 3 toilets, one im the room, the other two in the common area, and two bathrooms. Kitchen and leisure rooms were quite nice and there were loads of dishes. Beach is nearby as well as the stores. And there is a very cheap bakery just above the hostel. Guests are really quiet. Use the jacuzzi, it is cool! The staff was really really nice and helpful! Would recommend!

This is by far the best Hostel I've ever been to: pretty cheap, but excellent services. Nice, comfortable and clean rooms, an amzin living room and kitchen, forthcoming staff etc... I'm still a little incredulous because it exceeded my expectations that were shaped by other hostels that aren't as good as this
