Lovely clean hostel in a calm and quiet area. Room cleaning every day. Caring owner Dhanray and helpful staff. Clean shower and toilet. Comfortable mattresses and staff are always ready to help and advise. I am very grateful for the service. It was 4 wonderful nights in Malta.

Literally everything. If I could, I would rate this stay a 100 / 10 - seriously though, the staff was like none other. So sweet and friendly, hanging out with everyone in the hostel and making it truly feel like a home. Everyday a (lovely) cleaner came through the space, asking how we were and keeping everything so clean. Cute outdoor space just off the kitchen which makes for an awesome breakfast spot plus an incredible roof top for chilling and hanging out!! Location is perfect if you’d like to be central in a lively but not obnoxious city - it’s got great access to transit about 5 min walk that will take you literally anywhere you need/want to go! As a bonus, the people this hostel attracts says it all. I made some really great connections in this space and will always come back to Hostel On if I’m ever in Sliema again (fingers crossed that I will be!!) xox

I stayed for five nights at this hostel and I was lucky to enjoy and 8 people dorm for myself. The hostel seems pretty new. The room was spacious and it had two bathrooms inside. Location was good, easy to reach by bus and it was also very quiet. The hostel has a well equipped kitchen and a pool area with a deck. That was really nice. I found the staff to be accomodating and attentive.

Definitely the best hostel in Malta. Im solo traveller, but I met wonderful people there that my friendship will stay forever. Hostel has free tours every day with Patricia, who is a wonderful tour guide. Without her my holiday will not be perfect. Hostels rooftop bar is a plus to meet people and enjoy the music. Happy Hours are amazing to get 2 drinks for cheap prices. Hostel is close to everywhere. At the bar, turkish nights and latin nights were amazing people who came from outside to the bar, which was good to know and get socialise. I traveled 5 different countries in a year and this was my best holiday ever I took ❤️

The hospitality of the host was great. Considering the shared spaces, privacy was okay, and the location was amazing – everything is really close (the bus stop, the store, and pubs).

All hostels in Sliema

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.

Everything was clean, the room was pretty quiet, there are 3 toilets, one im the room, the other two in the common area, and two bathrooms. Kitchen and leisure rooms were quite nice and there were loads of dishes. Beach is nearby as well as the stores. And there is a very cheap bakery just above the hostel. Guests are really quiet. Use the jacuzzi, it is cool! The staff was really really nice and helpful! Would recommend!

This is by far the best Hostel I've ever been to: pretty cheap, but excellent services. Nice, comfortable and clean rooms, an amzin living room and kitchen, forthcoming staff etc... I'm still a little incredulous because it exceeded my expectations that were shaped by other hostels that aren't as good as this
