Located in St. Julian’s, just a 5-minute walk from lively Paceville, Hostel Malti offers a hot tub located on the rooftop which also features sea views. Its dormitory rooms are decorated with brightly coloured walls. Free WiFi is available.

The room was super clean and smelled nice. The room had nice modern design. My room window was directed to a small alley, so at night it was really quit. I received very informative message with all the stuff I needed to know before the stay. Staff was nice and polite. I didn't have time to socialize/party with other guests in the hostel, but it was just added bonus to have this opportunity if I stayed longer.

Set 350 metres from Sliema’s seafront, on the island of Malta, Granny's Inn Hostel offers 2 shared terraces, a roof-top area and free Wi-Fi throughout. A shared TV room with cable channels is available to guests.

This hostel is one of the best by far. The hostel has a cool terrace at the rooftop for a nice sunset view. The room, kitchen, and toilets are so clean and well organised, and also garbage is sorted for recycling. The staff (Petra, Innes, Nicki, and Annika) are so kind and friendly, they created a sense of home for me. Also, the german volunteer Annika is incredibly supportive, she recommended me many cool stuff to do in Malta like visiting other cities and nice places for fun. I would definitely come again to Malta for this Hostel, good times spent there :)

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.

    Great location, great communication with the owner. All you need if you look for a cheap place to stay and good enough if you aren't too fussy but still want to have a nice place.

    Excellent place! Great location to explore the island. We came to Malta for a carnival in February. The weather was amazing. The hotel is located close to a ferry terminal to Valletta- 5 min max a ferry ride and you are in Valletta. It was cheaper and more sensible option ( time wise) to travel by Bolt taxi. The hotel has really good facilities- great breakfast with a view to the sea! You also get access to a sauna etc. rooms are clean and modern with a coffee machine. We loved everything!

    Great location, close to the water and Sliema, and in a nice safe street. There is a small supermarket near by. I liked best that the rooms are spacious with a nice balcony. The staff is friendly and helpful.

    The staff were always so friendly and helpful. Great location being in the centre of Gzira/Sliema so you could walk to mostly everywhere. The area is also very safe and as a solo (female) traveller, at no point was I concerned about walking back to the hotel late at night. Loved how spacious and comfortable the room was, it was near perfect!

    It‘s a very nice place to stay, the staff is very friendly and helpful. I got many great recommendations what to see in Malta as well, which was awesome :) The location in Sliema is great, a nice and safe area from where you can also reach all other enjoyable areas in Malta well. It‘s a very clean hostel. Also, I liked the pretty tiles on the floor in my room :)
