Conveniently located in the centre of Sliema and 200 metres from the ferry harbour, Two Pillows Boutique Hostel is less than a 10-minute walk from Sliema's Tower Road beach. All its rooms offer free Wi-Fi.

What a gorgeous little hostel! The beds and rooms were very spacious and comfortable. The sauna and jacuzzi were a lovely asset, especially when it was raining. The staff also really made the place, especially Sebastian and Leonie! This hostel had great energy. I worked from home here during the week and the wifi was fast enough to take zoom meetings (which I took in the bedroom during the day when everyone was out). The hostel was also in an amazing location.

Rooms come with a private en suite or external bathroom, while studios also offer a kitchenette. Studios have a balcony overlooking the pool or the university grounds. Dormitory rooms are also available.

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. The staff is super nice, the room is very well thought with that middle stairs that are used for upper beds, the bathroom clean, the kitchen available for use, the balcony cozy, the AC works excellent and last but not least, the mini croissants they serve for breakfast are out of this world! Such a great value for money!

Situated in Sliema and with Exiles Beach reachable within 500 metres, Hostel On features concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a terrace. The accommodation provides a tour desk and luggage storage space for guests.

Excellent location as it is stone throw away from the Sliema promenade and rocky beach. The new, recent Spanish owners Fabio, Vanessa and Rodrigo are very welcoming and accomodating. It reminds me of the jolly nature of the Spanish people. The hostel has a patio with grotto, which can be a perfect place for breakfast and snacks. It has a spacious rooftop lounge which is accessible 24 hours and has been the venue of nightly catchup and drinks with fellow travellers, plus the best view of the night sky. The place makes me feel at home. Would be back when possible.

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.

    Beautiful apartment right in the middle of Valletta. Exceptional communication with the owners who entertained our requests and messages even late into the night. Comfortable fluffy bed, great location, and is in a safe neighbourhood - great for a couple's retreat or a family with kids. The property is exactly as how it is advertised in the photos.
