The worst hostel ever. The whole place smells like mold. I could not breath even when the window was open. Dormitory room on the 1st floor did not have a door, people were walking through the room to other floors.

The room itself is nice, clean, ok bed, maybe too little pillow but nothing a fold over wont fix. But the noise from other guest due to very little isolation from door was a bit annoying when I wanted to sleep.

Its the worst place I have ever been, its so dirty, i arrived at 10 pm and my bed was not ready, It was used by other person. They told me to pick any bed available, so I did, and during all the night something was bitting me, i think bedbugs. Its also full of drunk people with no respect, screaming, farting, etc. So disgusting. Dont ever go there.

Like sleeping in a cupboard!
We got moved to another room, above a restaurant on Merchant St. Room it was tiny, no natural ventilation. It was noisy too as above kitchen. I couldn't wait to get out of there. Shower was cold on arrival to at 4pm. Room needed a clean. Dust balls & hair bands under bed, mould needed bleaching in shower, & toilet rim very black.... paid nearly 100e for this ...

There is no in-person 24/7 concierge service and the phone number that was provided was not responsive during the middle of the night when we got locked out of our hotel room and we had to sleep on the floor until morning.

I stayed at the Valletta Dormitory for 6 nights. Four of those night w/out hot water. I called twice, left a note for the caretaker, and emailed the property over the course of several days and was repeatedly told they were sending someone to fix it. I finally got a hold of Expedia who called the property directly before the issue was fixed. The dormitory has no reception. And the address listed on the booking app is not the address of the actual dormitory. This you only learn by reading the find print in your emails- AFTER - you book. Basic needs such as toilet paper, or a towel for the bathroom floors were unavailable. The toilet paper took 2 days to be refilled. On my floor, there were 9 outlets- of which only 4 worked. The rest were broken or had no power running to them. Each room had 1 floor fan, with the exception of the top floor that also had a ceiling fan (minimal air movement). As you can imagine this made it miserable with the heat and humidity. The kitchen and small welcome area were clean. However without floor mats, the bathrooms quickly became dirty due to everyone stepping out of the shower wet. The doors also had peep holes which were stuffed with toilet paper. CREEPY The lockers are not maintained and only a few were actually lockable. They are located on the first floor, and are not large enough to accommodate big suitcases. However for other smaller cases, bags, or shopping- they work. As expected- bring your own lock.

You get what you pay for
Definitely the most basic hostel I've stayed in. There are no staff and no doors on the dorms so minimal privacy. There are three floors and you need to pass through every other dorm to get to the top floor. Therefore, if you're staying on the first or second floor, people will be passing through your room to get to the floors above. Cockroaches were crawling about the shower/toilet area and showers unclean with broken doors on the cubicles. I stayed on the top floor which had no A/C and was too warm to sleep (this was at the end of May so the weather was warm but not the peak of summer). Good location in the centre of valetta but that's about the only plus point.

Lovely House
Stayed one night all ok Beware that the address is 114 St Nicholas St Valletta & not the office address. The electric had gone out on the keypad which prevented our entry. We called the office & they came with a key. We waited for an hour for the issue to be sorted. The keypad was not lit up. Other than this incident of no ones fault it is good accommodation. Very easy to get to The Gut & Strait Street

unexpensive And nice, heart of Valletta
The apartment is quite nice and beautifully located in Velleta. My trip was last minute, so there was some confusion, as the address that shows in the reservation is an office, and not easy to find. I arranged my transportation to that location and then had to walk all over to find , first the office and then the place. The staff was not too helpful. Also, there is no one at the place. I had a problem with the internet connection and had to walk back to the office to talk to someone about it. Otherwise, very nice. A little noisy.
