This was the most disgusting hostel I've ever stayed in. I'm not expecting much - but guys, the furniture was so gross in the common area that i didn't want to sit on it. My bed had a bug in it, the walls were absolutely filthy. I really considered just sleeping at the airport. DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE.

They were very welcoming! Everything was well cared for, the community space was always open for anyone (they didn't even really mind when people would let others in when the receptionists were off, since usually it was either well-known friends or other guests wanting to get out of the sun, etc). The kitchen was clean, and even though the beds were all rather cramped together and it was a little hard to get up into the top bunk every night, I had a genuinely rlly good experience there

Nice little hostel for those on a budget

We checked in super late and got the keys no problem. Unfortunately we couldn’t figure out where the private room was but finally someone helped us. The private room was decent. I was super excited to check out the rooftop spa and I found out that it was a dirty little hot tub and only open during certain times. The worker said that it wouldn’t be very warm, so we didn’t go in it. The rooftop isn’t very well maintained, my partner almost fell through the roof! Great area though and it was super close to shops and St. juliens bay which was nice.

Value for good service

Need a walk up the hill from St Julian's bus stop. The room provided information for checkin when they are out and the linen were changed around 6pm. On fan in the room and has an ac. Had charging points around all beds. Quiet and neat room. Was struggling with WiFi, with one bar on the second floor.
