I stayed for 2 weeks and met lots of people, I’ll definitely recommend this place, it’s always clean and you can find everything around the area.

Just 200 metres from Sliema Beach, the Corner Hostel is a renovated Maltese townhouse offering a communal kitchen, and rooms and dormitories with a telephone and ceiling fan. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hostel.

I liked staff, they were very friendly. There was only 4 beds in one room, so not too much people as for hostel room. In general it was comfortable and cosy atmosphere. I would recommend it to my friends.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    I did some work while I was here, and the WiFi was great. The place was clean and it's in a great location. The bed is super comfortable, and you get 2 really nice pillows, which is rare in hostels.

    Good hostel with many positive people and super nice staff. however only 3 bathrooms for all people in the hostel is not enough when the hostel is full. Top bank bed is quite high and have no bars (to prevent from falling down) which made me feel a bit unsafe since i'm afraid of heights.

    James is nice. He does take the time to talk with his guests and gives advices to help them have the best possible experience in Malta. The kitchen is clean. So are the common areas. Altogether, this is a pretty well maintained backpacker hostel. Also this is pretty quiet at night so slept very well.
