Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.

Verified traveler

I wanted to like the hostel--the staff and guests are very nice, but it is very misleading to say that there is AC when it is only turned on after 10 pm at night. It was over 100 degrees for two of the days I stayed, and was sweltering in the hostel. And there is no ceiling fan in the room I was in... The lack of amenities and poor location (about a 20 minute walk and up a hill from the town center and the nearest buses) make this a poor choice.

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.

Not close to anything.

Always cold even in the cold...Too far from everything...Place needs some investment to make staying so far from hot spots worthwhile. Small bed, tiny bathroom, bathroom taps that only have cold water that run for 5 secs, kitchen unorganised, a small fridge so packed, not sure what is free and what is owned by guests. Staff is kind/welcoming and friendly. Room is decent size, enough storage space and safe enough bring your own lock. Plug socket right beside you bed, for convenience. Stayed in many hostels and this goes into my worst ones for the price paid unfortunately.
