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

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!

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!

    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
