Walter's B&B is situated in Il-Gżira, 1 km from University of Malta. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

At the hostel, all rooms come with a wardrobe. Rooms are complete with a private bathroom, while some units at Walters Guest House also provide guests with a balcony.

It really is a 10 rating. Everything is pristine and cleaned daily. Shoes off at door really make a difference in a shared accommodation. Quiet and respectful. Good wifi and great kitchen and rooftop to use. Beds are very comfortable and there is plenty of space in the room and enough privacy. Great location close to water and bus routes. (Valletta is a good hub but way too many tourists on cruise ships and you can walk to at Julian’s from here). Great value for money. And of course Mark is the best. Thanks for everything . Highly recommend!

Ommi Hostel in St Julian's provides adults-only accommodation with a garden and a shared lounge. The property is set 2.2 km from St George's Bay Beach, 2.2 km from Bay Street Shopping Complex and 1.9 km from Portomaso Marina. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage for guests.

Everything was great. Big kitchen, big common area with TV, space to work, patio, safe lockers, sockets next to beds, clean toilets/showers, new appliances. I would say it's not a party hostel, it's more for people who want a quiet stay. Some people stay there long term and either work in town or online and respect quiet hours. Many Spanish speakers. I loved the place and it really felt like home :)

Conveniently located in the centre of Sliema and 200 metres from the ferry harbour, Two Pillows Boutique Hostel is less than a 10-minute walk from Sliema's Tower Road beach. All its rooms offer free Wi-Fi.

Lovely traditional building in the heart of Sliema. easy to reach by public transport and located near supermarkets, bars, restaurants and shops. I slept in a 4 beds mixed dorm with private bathroom, with respectful guests. Room was quite spacious with private drawers for personal belongings and luggages (locker could be rented) Bathroom really clean and extra disinfectant and toilet paper were provided. Really relaxing spa that consisted of a jacuzzi bath and Finnish sauna that needs to be booked in advance. Large kitchen and fresh drinkable water for free. Friendly and caring staff.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Clean & comfy airbnb. Had a lovely stay here for a month and felt like a home away from home. There isn't much to do in the direct surrounding area but is safe, and was easy/convenient to get around from here.

    I liked the location - walking distance to Valetta old town as well as the ferry station in Sliema. My giant room was clean and tidy. I never saw any staff during my stay but it was easy enough to check in using the key safes and common areas did get cleaned daily.

    They offered me a single room insted of a bed in a dormitory because the hostel was pretty crowded when I arrived. The staff very friendly, the breakfast better than in other hostels, not extraordinary, but good enough. They had a delicious tart every morning. The location was nice, close to a lot of bus stops that took you to Valletta and within walking distance from Sliema. They cleaned the room every 2 days.

    the apartment is in a great location and it has a lot of open shared space, a great kitchen and large bathroom. Everything was clean and we didn't have any trouble with our cohabitants. Our room was rather small with a small window and it was a bit hard to ventilate it and the towels should be changed at least every two days. Still, our stay was comfortable and you can always spend some time in the shared space or simply exploring Malta. Also, great price, much cheaper than valetta apartments.

    For this cheap price, there’s breakfast included, which is convenient. Don‘t expect much of this, as it‘s for a budget price, fine. And they have a pool.
