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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Be aware

Be aware, this is not an ordinary hostel! I booked through hotels.com and expected everything to be as with a normal booking, I was not aware that this was very different. After booking I got and e-mail with a form I had to fill out for the booking to be confirmed, since I was already travelling I did not have access to a printer and scanner as I needed to fill it out. The next day I went to the office of the hostel where I could fill in the form, but after that I had to go to a second place to pick up my key and a third place to get to the room I booked. It was not possible to pick up the key before 3 pm, so I had to pay 5 euroes to leave my luggage at the office and I had to go back there to pick it up after I had gotten the key. Basically I spent half the day getting in to my room and this was time I could not spend doing the things I had planned to do this day. Also there is nowhere to leave the luggage after checkout at 10 am, so it's a problem if you are leaving later.

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.
