Absolutely fantastic hostel! I fell in love with Malta just because of this place. And to be honest I felt in love with Mark as unbelievable kind and warm-hearted and respectful person! Unfortunately I’m a man, so I cannot marriage with him😁 If think God is love, it means you never meet before Mark, because he is heaven sentured God’s angel on this planet. Absolutely safety, comfortable, 1000% clean hostel with a perfect rooms, beds, full equipped kitchen and bathrooms and such a cool terrace in the roof, that you even can not imagine it! Mark explained everything about Malta and the best and cheapest places around the hostel, gave so good recommendations for the poor guy like me where/when/how I can enjoy my few days off on this beautiful island. You never ever find even the 5* hotel better than Walter’s B&B hostel. The rating must be changed by the name of this lovely hostel because 5* aren’t enough to describe the best service of whole my 30 years of life! As a Michelin star restaurant cook I can say that in the restaurants rating this hostel 10* Michelin from the 3* possible. Really strong recommendation for you all my dear travelers!

After a hard day of touring around Malta, it was the perfect accomodation to relax with some AC turned on, a nice shower and get a goodnight sleep. I had a very pleasant stay and the staff were exceptionally nice!

    It‘s a very nice place to stay, the staff is very friendly and helpful. I got many great recommendations what to see in Malta as well, which was awesome :) The location in Sliema is great, a nice and safe area from where you can also reach all other enjoyable areas in Malta well. It‘s a very clean hostel. Also, I liked the pretty tiles on the floor in my room :)
