    Liked : My experience at this hostel was fantastic. The staff was very kind and always willing to help with anything you needed – it truly feels like home. The facilities were clean and well maintained, and the room was comfortable and quiet. The location is perfect, with easy access to everything. Plus, the atmosphere was very pleasant, ideal for meeting other travelers. I’ll definitely be back!

    I would especially like to thank Carlos, who helped me throughout the entire process and answered all my questions with patience. Thanks to him, the whole experience was even better. Thank you so much!

    Liked : Clean, cheap, this was the only place in the entirety of Malta that actually had a heater to dry your clothes

    Disliked : You had to message the staff to come and check in/check out (likely due to off-season timing and only 5 guests in the entire hostel), but it was slightly inconvenient
