Our stay at Inhawi Boutique Hostel was absolutely enjoyable! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. The cleanliness and amenities like the pool and garden were impressive. A few small issues like noise from above and limited fridge space during peak hours kept it from being perfect, but overall, it was a fantastic stay that we would love to repeat!

The rooms were kept really clean and had a great feature of a huge box under the bed for storage. However, I would appreciate more privacy if there were curtains around the bunks.

Inhawi is situated perfectly for both sightseeing and nightlife, with Valetta just a quick walk and ferry ride away, and Saint Julian's Bay right nearby. Public transport options are very convenient.

My stay at this hostel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, close to the nightlife, and the facilities were well thought out, making it comfortable overall. However, the service left much to be desired as a particular staff member was unhelpful and rude, which really impacted my experience. While my room was decent, it could definitely use some improvements in maintenance.

I had a great experience at this hostel – the staff was incredibly helpful, and the building itself is stunning with amazing views. However, the heating issues on my first night made it a bit uncomfortable, and the noise level was disruptive well into the night. Despite that, the location was perfect for exploring nearby areas and getting around.

I had a fantastic stay at the hostel! It was incredibly clean and comfortable, with a friendly atmosphere that made it easy to connect with others. The location was spot on, close to both the beach and local transportation. The only downsides were that the kitchen could get a little messy in the evenings and the air conditioning was very strong, making it tough to adjust. Overall, I felt it was a great value for money, especially with breakfast included.

I had a great time at this hostel! It's situated nicely in Saint Julian, just a hop from the sea and bus stops. The rooms were clean and spacious enough for my needs, and the friendly staff made my stay even better. The only downside was the kitchen situation—it was a bit cramped and could use more utensils. Overall, it's a good value, and I would choose to stay here again.
