The staff here have been really friendly and helpful and I have enjoyed my stay so far! The nicest hostile I have stayed at, I really enjoying the garden, hammock area, pool area, kitchen and lounge area, and the front entrance area outside where you eat breakfast. A great place for sure!

Everything is good at that hostel, social, breakfast was good, toast with jam, honey, ham, cheese, also some eggs, tea, coffee, cereal. Pool area is great, pool not cleaned everyday, the only bad thing is noise, because you can hear everything from outside, so not good for light sleepers. Anyway, would recommend staying :)

The hostel would have been amazing. The staff is super nice and caring and the overall atmosphere is awesome. They have super nice workspaces. Unfortunately the A/C wasn’t on in any of the rooms ( as requested by some of the other travelers) and it was incredibly hot, stuffy and moist in the room. During a pandemic it felt rather dangerous to sleep in such a stuffy room. Probably best to stay in spring.

BAD for a holiday great for imigrants, retirees
More of a gross no security half way house then a nice safe social hostel. No social vibe here at all because Most people are long term stayng immigrants and poor creepy retired old men who get very agressive and rude with you becsuse they are so burnt out with months of the crowded atomsphere here. Which is why they need a two week limit here. Cause For the 150 guest they get per night many faclities are broken, no working wifi and very poorly managed and secured and the long term people are burnt out with it. Lots of food gets stolen over night by homeles people who also come in sleeping on the bean bags and pick through kitchen. The staff Dogs are peeing everywhere. Staff are unwilling to deal with all the chaos or accomodate you when u r feeling unsafe with the long term creeps. So all in all not meant for tourist if you are looking for a clean, safe, social and well upkept environment. I had guest and staff get aggressive with me over using a microwave nd common area to talk on phone and so forth.

As a very experienced hostel stayer, my overall opinion of inhawi hostel was very poor for cleanniess, especially in the kitchen area an the fridge area, they was wet floors from leaks which made making a meal a traumatic experience for myself and other guests. Breakfast which was included in the price was in the building outside, was very very poor with the same items every morning during my two weeks there, may i add only 1double toaster for all guests also..

This hostel is very, very clean and rooms are modern and minimalistic. I slept very well here which meant I was fresh for exploring the next day. There is good under-bunk storage (provide your own padlock) and a swipe card entry system. The staff are kind, friendly and helpful and make you feel very welcome. In the 12 bed girls dorm there is only 1 toilet but I know the other dorms have more, even the ones with less beds. I’d have liked a few more breakfast options and maybe a small shop to be able to purchase large bottles of water (only small ones in the vending machine) and a plastic recycling bin for water bottles (as drinking tap water is not advisable so you can go through a lot) none of the above are points for criticism, just suggestions and I absolutely would recommend this hostel to anyone and 100% stay here again!

The hostel was in a great location with a pool, really nice hostel, good rooms, the showers are not the best, attached to the wall at waist height and have to use it hand held, getting changed in the rooms after a shower is hot and sweaty as the air con doesn’t work from about 8am-8pm. But otherwise excellent stay.

Good deal for the area
This is one of the cleanest hostels I have stayed in. I appreciate the bathroom showers using glass doors instead of curtains, feels much more sanitary. The beds were moderately comfortable. The room was a tad cold for sleeping even with the provided blanket but the weather was cooler than normal. The hostel was a tad noisy in the evening hours from the common area but quieted down about 1-2AM. The storage lockers had generous space. I appreciate the included continental breakfast though nothing special. The staff was very friendly and helpful with tips and help for the area. Local transit 5 min walk.

An amazing stay with a great team to meet all your needs.The Christmas Dinner arrangement was superb,the same goes for the New Year's Eve.The rooms are always clean and staff is always great and helpful.I will be recommending this place to anybody simply the best on top of the rest,they set the standards so high it should just be called a Hotel not a hostel.

Best Hostel on the Island. Close to everything. 10 min walk center of S Julians. Highly recommend, better than any 3-star hotel around. Only thing is that breakfast could be better, but still ok

Perfect location, perfect hostel
Great location easy to travel to various locations, nearest bus stop just down the road. As a female travelling by myself this was a great place to relax by the pool but also meet lovely people including the staff that worked here who were extremely helpful & knowledgeable about what to do in Malta & how to get there.

Great location & rooms!
Had a great 4 night stay at inhawi.. one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at! Stayed in a 6 girl dorm room that had two showers, one toilet and sink. There was a fan and working air con. Cleaners came by everyday! Not even a 5 min walk to the bus stop and great central location :)

Great, location, great facilities, needs a solution for people who snore. Like selling anti snore stickers etc and talk about it or leave a leaflet on the dorms.

Nice and comfortable hostel
Nice and comfortable Hostel. I was booked in 10 bed room, however while check in I was upgraded to 6th bed room. My room was on top floor, room was spacious, had an en-suite bathroom and a large size balcony. The view from balcony was amazing. The receptionists in the hostel were very helpful and breakfast was ok. The overall decor and location of the hostel was excellent. Would recommend all.

Simply chic & beyond expectation
This is a budget, mini luxury hostel. Simple breakfast, so don't expert a la carte menu as per the room rate. Its close to the St Julian's boat harbour. So many restaurants for fine dining around. You can also ask reception to help place an online order for food & also get information for fun tours and trips around Malta. Close to bus stop that could take you major areas like Cirkewwa Bay, Valletta & Sliema. Very safe at night. A few pubs and places you can hang out late. Picture perfect for amazing scenery. The staff of the hostel are young, vibrant and friendly. A good chill out spot in the hostel as well as clean kitchen to make your meals. Very much recommend to solo travellers, group travel buddies and even families.
