Great hostel overall! The only thing I’d mention is the smell in girls bedroom, due to mold on the walls. Nothing unbearable though.
The hostel offers breakfast (I didnt try it), has a pool, offers towel, blankets on the bed, curtains on the beds… amazing service offers for the price you pay! And the location is amazing, in front of one of the main beaches in St Julian.
Would definitely recommend!!

Stayed in room 208 for 3 nights.
The room had 6 bunks, A/C, two fans, a table, 3 chairs and there was still plenty of room. Each bunk has a locker underneath the bottom bunk large enough to fit even a large backpack. Each bunk has privacy curtains, private light, two sockets, a very thin sheet to use as a blanket. One of the sockets is used for private light though. The mattress was soft. Too soft for my personal tastes, but it was okay.
The bathroom was private to the room. Not ensuite, but directly opposite the room. In the bathroom was a WC and two showers. It was okay in terms of cleanliness, but the silicone really needs to be replaced with mould growing. There's also not much ventilation and expect to get hot and sweaty after a shower. Water pressure was okay and no problem getting hot water.
Breakfast was included and there's a buffet with cooked food, choices of cereal, tea, coffee and juices. The cooked food includes scrambled eggs, baked beans and bacon.
WiFi is available throughout the hotel, although it's unsecured. It works well.
The hotel is located close to Balluta Bay and approximately the middle of a hill. I've only tried getting to Valletta via the ferry and it's about a 15-20 minutes walk to the port.
Overall I had a good stay. There's limited AC around the hotel and the AC in the room is only switched on at certain times. Guests had to ask more than once for it to be turned on. The provided breakfast is varied enough for 3 days

I think it’s the best area on the island.
I love best the garden.
Everything is very clean and there is a good atmosphere there. We can get the buses easily. It’s 2 minutes walk to the bay. There are shops, restaurants, beautiful beaches nearby.

I’ve stayed in many hostels but this one is really value for money.
Reasons to stay here:
- Great location with view over the sea and really central
- Good included breakfast
- Clean and in good condition with a big kitchen and nice bathrooms
- pool and a cozy garden with orange trees and hammocks
Would definitely recommend this to others.

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 :)

One of the best Hostels I ever stayed in, best in Malta. Only downside, if you want to sleep or take a nap during day time you can not darken the room at all, curtains for the door and or the beds would be a much appreciated addition. Staff was super nice as well as the breakfast.

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.

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..

5.0 / 10.0
In general, i really enjoyed my stay with Inhawi. The swimming pool, kitchen and rest area are perfect to me and people who may need to work a bit during the stay. Also love the way how they arrange the kitchen area for food storage, everyone can pick a plastic box and label the name and checkout date which is very convenient and well organized.
Downside is the cleaniness of the dishes, cups and etc...but this is not the hostel's fault, some residents didnt wash the dishes completely...
The bathroom is in the room and the vantilation is not good enough. Therefore, whenever someone done shower, the room becomes very humid.
Still Inhawi brought me many good memories and it is no doubt the most beautiful hostel in Malta.

The room itself was very dirty and only one bathroom to share with 6 people and was also not so pleasent. The other guests were also very load in the middle of the night making it impossible to sleep.
