The staff are fabulous, especially Rohan. With a mostly Indian staff, they work hard to keep all areas immaculate, are always very friendly, respectful and willing to help customers The location couldn't be better and once the restaurant is open this will be the perfect place to stay. Thanks to everyone for making me feel safe and confortable!!

Full of amazing and friendly people. Dorm beds have curtains for privacy, reading light, and an outlet to charge your gadgets. The highlight is the rooftop - it’s perfect to sunbath, chill with a book, have a drink, and meet new friends. Also great location.

Everything was perfect. The location was great as the bus stops were nearby (including the one of the last bus to the airport). The room and the hostel as a unit was very clean. Staff was kind and helpful. I loved the breakfast' s variety (served as a buffet from 7:30 am) and the nespresso machine which additionally provides hot chocolate and cocoa-milk during that time. In the kitchen you can find complimentary tea bags, coffee and other products important for cooking. The kitchen was well equiped and there were plenty tables for everyone. Essential to be mentioned is that they provide towels for free and that each bed has curtains permitting you to have some privacy. It also has its own plugs, small shelf and bed light lamp. I was also astonished to find 2 toilets, both equiped with showers in a 4-bed women room. It was a game changer, especially for ladies. We always had hot water and the staff always took the initiative to turn on our a/c in order to secure the good temperature of the room. To conclude, Inhawi Hostel is a great affordable place, ideal to make some new friends (they organize lots of activities e.x. yoga to help you meet people). I do propose it and I will definetely come back.

From the moment we arrived everyone was so lovely and helpful all the way till we left when they ordered us a taxi. So kind and well worth the money, I would definitely recommend staying here. It’s close to the built up area but not so close that you’re left awake all night with noise!

    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 :)
