Inħawi Hostel

The hostel has a great location—close to the bus station, restaurants, and even a nearby beach (though locals don't seem to recommend it). The breakfast offers several options, and you can enjoy a lovely view while eating. There’s also a swimming pool within the relaxation area, and also a kitchen where food is neatly labeled. The staff were attentive and even let us stay after check-out while we waited for our flight. Rooms and bathrooms were kept spotlessly clean thanks to daily cleaning. Overall, a pleasant stay!

I stayed in a shared dorm which is nice to solo travelers to keep your own privacy on the bed surrounded by curtains. And the room was kept all the time clean by the friendly and helpful staff. Besides, the location of the hostel is perfect for people who would prefer a quiet night in St Julian. At breakfast time, the view of the sea is fantastic.

Beware, not the same hostel anymore. Sad to see the change here. On Google maps still called "Inhawi", used to be the absolutely best hostel here on Malta. IMPORTANT: Now it's not anymore. Instead new regime/owner(?) and now "Follow the sun". Prices been rising dramatically, in high-season more like a joke. Overall standard here now is not like before. Higher price means not better standard, here just the opposite. Wi-fi not working in room anymore, free breakfast is still "ok", but used to be so much better. Air cond? Well, you have to ask the staff kindly and hope they remember to put it on, not automatic like it used to be. Also now a really bad smell from mould in the room, sink obviously not working properly. Probably some serious problem with the sewer. So sad to see! Don't blame the new unexperienced staff here. The old one is gone. They're still doing the best they can. And the cleaning here is absolutely great, so thanks for keeping the ladies back from old good "Inhawi" days. Boutique hostel??? Just a question of raising the price? (Hot coffee served here 24 h. Ok, just go to the reception and pay one euro for two tea bags...) Sorry, but now so many better options here on Malta, just check for example on booking.com

For a hostel this was great value. Breakfast included with a sweet and savoury, pool area to relax in, a kitchen with option to store food. Rooms were cleaned daily and the lockers were a good size, I liked that could keep our suitcase open in them. I was on a top bunk right next to the aircon so was glad I had a jumper as it did get a bit cool right under it. It wasn’t too noisy aside from the local roosters in the park next to it, which is out of the hostels control.

Really amazing hostel experience! This was my first time being a solo female traveller and I’m glad I booked here! The hostel is very big and so are the common areas. It is bright and clean and has an amazing location. They have a beautiful garden and pool. Staff was friendly and nice and so were other guests. It is located pretty centrally so you’re able to see all the major sights. They also have a well organized food storage system for travellers who cook.

Best hostel I’ve ever been to! Nice pool, good location, comfortable bed, decent AC, free breakfast, lots of areas to relax and/or work. Highly recommend!

One of the most beautiful hostels i ever been to. Helpful staff, nice garden, 2 showers per room, beautiful view over Balluta Bay :)

I liked the friendliness of the staff! They were happy to help with any question or enquiry. They let me store my luggage before the check in time. Breakfast was also nice and included in the accommodation price. The location is a really great one! In the heart of St. Julian and very close the plenty of restaurants, stores and the beach! The ground space of the hostel is large! They have a nice kitchen to be shared with everyone hosted! And also a tiny pool where you can cool down when it gets too hot. I didn't like that they hosted me at the highest floor in the 'penthouse' of the hostel, which is basically a room with 6 beds one on top of another one, with its own bathroom shared among guests and a large but pretty empty terrace. The matress and the bed frame was not confortable. I was assigned to a top bed and it was painful to always climb the iron ladder to get on my bed. The cleanliness and the state of the bathroom was not the greatest, but it was kinda okay. They stated they have air conditioning, but I only saw a fan hanged on the wall and even tho my visit happened in May, it was already pretty hot during the day. As it was a room on the top floor it can get super hot and intense during the summer days. So I hardly recommend to avoid that room and maybe get one with a real air conditioner! Overall my experience was decent
