    The kitchen was really dirty.

    It's a party hostel, so some noise is to be expected. However, the room I stayed in was extremely quiet so I could sleep without any issues. The staff is really friendly and they make you feel really welcomed. Especially the bar crew! Special thanks here to Laura, Amelie, Luca and Pietro ❤️

    Quite annoying that the AC isn’t on, and only turns on at night, you had to request for it to be turned on early, and only sometimes they would do turn it on early. I thought there would be pub crawls and other fun activities organised at night (as it was a party hostel), however there was nothing organised.

    Hostel was comfortable and clean with a great location. Terrace for drinks was great and had good deals. Great trips planned, especially the one to Comino.

    Aircon was set low and we were only given thin sheets for blankets so heaps of people ended up with dry throats. Not that deep but would’ve been nice to have been given thicker blankets rather than requested them

    Paty our daily free tour guide was amazing, she made the trip so worth it…included everyone in the activities and just the best vibe really hypes everyone one! Location, cost, cleanliness were all great too no complaints there

    They give only sheets, no proper blanket. At the same time the AC was regulated extremely low. I couldn't sleep because I was freezing all night. Consider packing long pants and a jumper... A group of guys decided to talk infront of the door at 5 in the morning for 30min and then continue their conversation in the dorm for 20min+. After I asked them to be quiet at around 6 in the morning (in their native language) they dismissed me and just continued talking. The other guests tried to be quiet.

    The staff was great and super efficient. The location is directly at a bus station were you can buy passes. They organize day trips around Malta and have a party location in the hostel. Additionally it is directly in the party streets of malta. Airport transfer super easy. 20min by bus 3€ and since it is 24h check in, super convenient for late flights

    It's quite stuffy in the rooms and in the corridors where the rooms are located. The laminate in the room is all swollen, the curtains in the showers need to be replaced, they're dirty and moldy, and there's mold on the ceiling. Overall, the hostel could use some updates.

    Location, friendly staff, a kitchen where you can cook, a refrigerator where you can cool your beer (which unfortunately some guests may take without asking), and a cool rooftop terrace where you can relax

    The AC turns on at night and you need to tell the receptionist if you want to turn it on daytime. The front door doesn’t work. Anyone can just open the door without the key fob.

    I like the location since it’s close to the bus stop at Ross. Close to the beach at Balluta and they have their own free excursions too.

    Good handling by the staff of the hostel. I was in a shared room where a guest snored horribly. After the other guests couldn't sleep and we told the front desk, the reception guy move him to another room. Also the facilities were very clean.

    The hostel was okay overall, but cleanliness could definitely be improved. The rooms were quite humid, which made it slightly uncomfortable at times. It's not terrible, but considering the occasional high pricing, I expected a bit more in terms of comfort and upkeep.

    The hostel was near all amenities I needed and the vibe of the rooftop was great.

    Just the fact the toilet and showers are unissex. I knew it was mixed bedroom, but it could be at least separated showers/toilets (male and female)

    The fact that they have free tours to a lot of beaches around Malta. Patricia (Brazilian) is such a nice person! I loved the experience!

    This place is very fun and filled with young people looking for a party. It’s very social with a beautiful rooftop bar on the top floor. The beds were decent, the lockers were good size to fit everything inside.

    Not the hostels fault but for a party hostel I had a pretty non social room, also the elevator was average and the door to our room got stuck all the time so we had to leave it open which is unnerving

    The beds were comfortable and private, and the bathrooms were always clean! The common areas/roof top bar are exceptional

    Kitchen is pretty small for the whole hostel and could probably do with another fridge. Bring packable bowls and cutlery too because there were no forks or bowls in the provided crockery.

    Really friendly staff, great drink prices especially during happy hour and the rooms and facilities were cleaned at least twice a day.

    There aren’t enough shower spots on each floor, the bathrooms are small and not the cleanest. The room also had a weird smell. The free hostel tours are not organized well, so I’d suggest paying and using other companies for boat tours etc.

    The location was very central and nice, close to the bus stop, a few beaches and all the bar/club scene as well as many restaurants. The rooftop bar was so fun, the hostel was a very good place to socialize. If you want to party, this is the place. The bed was comfortable, I loved the privacy blind and the lockers worked well.
