Great location by the sea, clean, modern, well-maintained and quiet. Breakfast, sheets and a towel are included. Bathrooms are not shared but every room has it's own. Despite that the price was similar as much worse nearby hostels where I was staying.

    It‘s a very nice place to stay, the staff is very friendly and helpful. I got many great recommendations what to see in Malta as well, which was awesome :) The location in Sliema is great, a nice and safe area from where you can also reach all other enjoyable areas in Malta well. It‘s a very clean hostel. Also, I liked the pretty tiles on the floor in my room :)
