Guest Reviews

• Miklós (9/5): -
• Chaouki Aminedine (9/5): Super séjour - L'emplacement est excellent, le personnel est très accueillant et l'ambiance est chaleureuse. Rien، tout était correct.
• Yasar Cemal Yilmaz (7/5): - Yatak rahat değildi
• Susan (8/5): Great time, would stay here again :) - Lovely staff!! Very helpful, kind and always up for a chat. The hostel is more on the smaller side which I really liked, it felt familiar and relaxed and I met quite a few lovely fellow travelers. Location was great, quiet area but just a few minutes walk away from Balluta Bay area, buses, ferries, Sliema city, supermarkets, cafes...... A good area itself and a great starting point to explore Malta. The room was spacious and included a sink, lockers, a clothes rack, a fridge, and a table to sit. Everyone gets a little welcome note on the bed on arrival :) A modern bathroom was located right next to the room. Hair dryers were provided if needed. The kitchen had everything you need to cook a proper meal. Nice common areas and terrace. Just minor things. Curtains on the beds would be a great addition. I personally prefer proper bedding instead of just the "naked" blanket. The bunk beds are very low, so you can't sit up in the lower bunk. Things like toilet paper and soap need to be checked a little more often, as well as the fridge in the room regarding old food (maybe introduce a labeling system, so you better know what can be thrown out?). As there was a sink in the room, soap would be great to have there as well.
• Paula (10/5): - La ubicación
• Anna (8/5): Clean, central and helpful stay - Quiet and fairly central location. Lovely girls working there who were helpful. Good bed. Very clean, but somehow there was clutter/disorganization everywhere. There was construction work on the street, so there was quite a lot of noise in the mornings.

• Jianing (8/5): Second time was a charm - After saying in Gozo for one night, I decided to go back to Granny’s for another 3 nights. I left my luggage there and the staff brought it to my room which was awesome! Also, this time my private room #5 was much cleaner than the first time and came with drinking water, new sheets and pillow cases. Appreciated! I really like the murals in the hostel too! Maybe I was jinxed by my “no party atmosphere” comment last time but there were much more noises this time. On Apr 9 a crazy girl was playing loud dance music and talking obnoxiously like a maniac after 11pm. On Apr 10 two girls in the room next door were talking loudly till after midnight. Both should have been stopped by the staff right away but unfortunately not.
• Twyla (9/5): -
• Jianing (9/5): Hidden gem in Sliema - It seems to be the only hostel in Malta that has a private room, offering good value for money and privacy. It’s in a safe and quiet neighborhood within 10-15 minutes walking distance to the ferry and main bus stops. It had chilled vibes without the crazy party atmosphere which was perfect for me. The girl at reception was very friendly and helpful. Hot water in the second floor bathrooms was hit and miss. The first and ground floor bathrooms were good though.
• Jules (5/5): -
• Michael (9/5): Basic hostel with all you could want in a good area. I had a nice stay. - Good location, comfortable and clean. Nice kitchen with all gear you could want. Nice people. Lovely clean toilets and showers. Showers were lovely. Lovely TV room on third floor that gets the morning sun, lovely to have breakfast in. Nothing. Property has all you could want in a hostel.
• Delle Fratte (8/5): - La posizione,l’accoglienza e la comodità. Tutto alla grande devo dire.
• Ralf-Peter (9/5): -
• Anaskaro (10/5): -
• Aldo (7/5): Hostel económico cerca de la playa - En realidad la ubicación no es tan mala, pero las calles y las casas tienen doble numeración y es muy diferente lo cual confunde a Google maps y te hace perder. Perdí dos horas de sol solo por buscar el hostel caminando muchas veces en la misma calle
• Naseri (8/5): -
• Ella (10/5): Bien placé et accueillant - L’emplacement et l’accueil
• Tomas Felipe (10/5): Cómodo, espacioso y cálido - Si Fue bueno en general, no tengo ningúna queja
• Guy (9/5): Wonderful, staff, owners, location and facility's - The owners and their staff were particularly helpful and competent, the local was wonderful as we're the facilities. It was honestly a drag to leave
• Luis Tomás (10/5): Best hostel to experience Malta - The owners care about every costumer and they experience they always know the perfect place in the island to recomend you. The best price-quality relation in Malta.

• Arana (8/5): - Personal super nett und sehr zuvorkommend, haben ständig nachgefragt ob alles okay ist :) Küche inklusive Bett und Kissen sehr komfortabel Badezimmer morgens voll Die Leiter zu den oberen Betten tut etwas weh beim hochsteigen

• Julia (10/5): Toller, ruhiger & sicherer Female Solo Trip Stay - Das Hostel war super ruhig, trotz Nähe zur Partymeile, direkt an jeder Bushaltestelle und an der Fähre - tolle Anbindung! Die Küche war stets super sauber, ebenso Bad und Räume. Trotz Checkin nach Mitternacht alles ohne Probleme - mein Name süß am Bett beschriftet, man konnte sich alles gegen Kaution ausleihen - das hat man heute nur noch selten <3 hab mich super wohl gefühlt und war ein toller Aufenthalt ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder :) !!!! Es wäre toll, wenn in den Gemeinschaftsbädern Seife oder Ähnliches wäre, sowie ein Föhn. Außerdem gab es leider nur einen Schlüssel für mein Zimmer - somit konnte man nie absperren? Das wäre schön wenn es geändert werden würde.
• Adam (6/5): Why is it called granny's inn? It feels creepy. - Proximity to beach and Valleta Very ominous and out of character for a hostel. The hostel had no workplace culture and it was as though a target demographic did not exist. The wall art was off putting.
• Lydia (8/5): Séjour au top - Séjour de 2 nuits en dortoir reservé aux femmes avec une amie (où dorment aussi les bénévoles). L'auberge est chaleureuse et accueillante, le personnel au top. Les sanitaires (ceux du bas pour nous) très propres et fonctionnels. Nous y avons séjourné en période plutôt creuse donc très calme et les quelques personnes présentes étaient respectueuses du lieu. C'est peut-être différent en haute saison. Lit et oreillers super confort pour une auberge de jeunesse. Chaque lit a 2 prises pour lui. L'emplacement est parfait dans une rue calme mais proche de tout. Mention spéciale au roof top !! Les sanitaires de l'étage du bas sont accolés à la cuisine mais cela ne nous a pas derangé car il y a avait peu de monde. (On peut utiliser ceux des étages aussi)
• shaheen (10/5): Good hostel to stay in Sliema - Clean hostel, friendly staff, good location, close to supermarkets.
• Мilana (3/5): - Я прилетела на Мальту отметить свой день рождения. Поселилась в этот хостел. Расположение супер, НО на этом плюсы закончились. Меня поселили в женскую комнату, где живет персонал хостела. Девушки явно были этому не рады. Недовольные взгляды, со мной даже никто не здоровался. Я чувствовала себя максимально некомфортно и старалась там не находиться. Сам хостел требует ремонта, все довольно старое. Мой отпуск это конечно не испортило, но рекомендовать это место я не могу.
• Skrebele (8/5): - The atmosphere was social, and it was interesting to meet the volunteers working there, but overall my experience was fine. It was good overall, what I expected for what I paid. The two-story beds were quite high and not very convenient to climb, especially after a long day. I arrived later in the season and didn’t notice any blankets available as it was dark, though it was warm enough at night. In the morning I noticed the blanket on top shelf.

• shaheen (9/5): Lovely hostel in Siiema - Lovely hostel in Silema , close to promenade and lots of places to get something to eat/ drink . Friendly staff.

• Makiko (7/5): - ・部屋にはケトルも冷蔵庫もあって、非常に便利だった。エアコンも良く効いた。 ・バス停まで凄く近いというわけではないが、まぁまぁ便利な立地だと思う。 ・スーパーを利用するならやはりLidlが品揃えが良くて◎だが、かなり近所にも（一応使える）小さめの小売店もあった。 ・チェックアウトした後もシャワールームを使わせてくれた。 ・チェックインはフロントに人が居る筈の時間（事前のメッセージでもそう言っていた）だったが見当たらず、宿の番号にかけても誰も出なかった。何度もかけたが反応が全くなく、結局到着してから45分後にようやくチェックインが出来た。スタッフは（文化的にそうなのかもですが）謝ることはなく、ずっとスマホを探しており、チェックイン作業もとてもゆっくりだった。これで朝から観光する予定が遅くなってしまった。 ・部屋の鍵がダメになりかけていたのか、3分くらいガチャガチャしても開けられないことがあって困った。 ・2階（ヨーロッパ的には1階？）のシャワーホルダーが壊れていて、常にシャワーが90度傾いた状態だった。また弱ったゴキブリが天井を仰いでいたので、使う前にティッシュでゴミ箱に捨てておいた。翌日からは1階（グランドフロアー）のシャワーを使うようにした。 ・近所の部屋の人が非常にうるさかった。明け方4時とかに普通に話している声がして起きてしまった。また0時くらいにはパーティー帰りっぽい人の声も響いた。耳栓必須。

• Sophie (9/5): De belles vacances dans un bel endroit accueillant, parfait pour découvrir Malte. - J'ai beaucoup aimé l'accueil chaleureux et l'esprit de communauté, de plus en plus rare dans les hostels. J'ai rencontré des gens intéressants et découvert un très beau coin. L'emplacement était accessible et il était facile d'accéder à plusieurs activités. Les employés et bénévoles étaient tous très sympathiques. J'aurais aimé que la terrasse sur le toit soit plus utilisée et mise de l'avant. Pendant mon séjour, les sanitaires sur mon étage étaient partiellement hors d'usage.

• Wing (2/5): Poor Bed Heights. Best to sleep on the top bunk bed, not the below - The hostel is on a quiet road. That helps me to find parking lots for my car, which is very critical for me. Compared to the previous hostel that I stayed in, this place gives me far more parking lots on a quieter road. Plenty: 1. The bed is so short. OMG. I cannot even sit up. I have to lie down on the bed, and roll myself into the bed. The double decker bed the hostel provided seem to be for children below the age of 12. It isn't for adults! 2. The aircon in my room is not working. The staff tried to fix, but it didn't work for the 2 nights that I was there.
• Aya (10/5): It was my first time staying in a hostel — I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit worried and anxious. But after spending th -
• Bogdan (4/5): Good location, cheap, but the conditions match the price... The main drawback is that the terrace is - The staff is really friendly. They are willing to help with anything, and the location is also good. Well, it needs to be a bit cleaner, and the bathrooms should be renovated... Also, the terrace that the hostel advertises on Booking isn’t actually in use — it’s neglected and closed, so the picture of people enjoying themselves on the rooftop isn’t accurate. Also, the guy working at the reception is lovely, but he could know a bit more — for example, which bus goes to the airport or the taxi number. Still, he’s young — he’ll learn. :)
• David (9/5): Superb -
• Baltazar (8/5): Very good - Great location near bus stop and the beach. Kitchen fully equiped. The kitchen is not that big. Staff members leave dirty dishes. One of the bathrooms was out of service during my stay. Lucky that was no problem as the other one was always fee when I needed it
• Siddharth (10/5): All good. Highly recommended - Really good. Nice & convienent Nothing
• Laura (7/5): Great location - It is in a great location and beautiful neighbourhood. What I liked the most was the staff, which was very friendly and kind. The room is ok, considering prices in the area for private rooms. The facilities/installations, on the other hand, might need more care.
• Alison (7/5): Basic but clean hostel in great location - Fab location in old town, 5 mins from seafronts for restaurants or to catch ferry. Felt safe. The hostel itself is an old house with lots of character- liked the artwork up the stairs and roof terrace. The bathrooms were clean enough but need updating. One of them was like a cheap gym where you have to keep your hand on button for water to come out which is useless if washing hair. Also, the walls are thin - I could hear the room next door so take earplugs!
• Irched (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was good:, clean, quiet, well located, very friendly. I highly recommend it.
