“Exceeded expectations - super worth value of money”
Firstly, I would like to clarify that I had expected the worst reading through some of the reviews but had a very pleasant experience instead. My friend and I booked 2 bunked beds but had a room for 4 pax to ourselves throughout the stay. This is likely because the hostel was not full. Upon entering the room, it was immaculate with plenty of room for 4 pax. The AC was working perfectly, much needed for the August heat, and sometimes got too cold at night 🤣. The shower drained well and had a high water pressure. My friend did comment that you don’t get very hot water but it was at least 20°C. I didn’t mind the cool showers because it was well hot outside. The pillows and mattress also seemed to be memory foam ones -very sturdy and comfortable to sleep on. Breakfast was simple but filling. You are served 1 or 2 slices of toast, chicken ham, and cheese. Cereal, cucumber, tomatoes, croissant, jam, chocolate spread, and butter were self-service. You also get options of juice and hot drinks. The menu was the same daily. I personally didn’t mind and found the ham and cheese of very high quality (ie. real cheese instead of an American processed one). There was also a pool available to use but we didn’t use it. Staff was very helpful when we had questions. We also stored our luggage before and after our stay. Finally, the location of the hostel couldn’t be better. You are just 5-10 min walk to Qroqq ring where most buses stop by. You can also easily walk to Msida and Gita for shops/meals. A tip: go to Ta’ Xbiex (15 min walk) for the best sunrise overlooking St John Co-Cathedral to your right and Manoel Island to your left.

There is no gym, the pictures are from a gym next door. If you need an adapter, it's not included (as it says on booking), but instead you need to buy one for 5 bucks. The breakfast is just toast and mini croissants with a very limited amount of toppings. We stayed 3 nights and asked multiple times for new towels. We didn't get one and we didn't have opportunities to wash the ones we got or to at least dry them somewhere

The accommodation is solid for the money, although it needs renovation, especially the bathrooms. There is everything you need in the room, except a hair dryer. The breakfast is excellent. Many buses nearby that go to major cities. and also a bus to the airport.
