Marco Polo Party Hostel in St Julians

It was a very nice place to stay. There was some kind of tour event every day. I participated in the Golden Bay event and it was a great experience.

Thank you for everythink!

Convenient location and great price. Could use some maintenance, specially the bunks. The bar upstairs is a good place to meet people

They let me store my luggage for free even after I checked out, which was a huge plus. The bed areas felt very private thanks to the curtains, almost like having my own room. It was a little disappointing there wasn't a hairdryer, but the place was clearly well-cleaned. Every time I walked past the toilets and showers, I could smell disinfectant, which was reassuring. The hot water and water pressure were both excellent.

Loved it, very comfortable.

The hostel is a bit old, but at least it occupies an entire building. Upon check-in, you need to pay a 20 Euro cash deposit, which is refunded at check-out.

The pros are that they have separate male and female dorms, and the hot water is sufficiently hot.

The cons are that there are 12 people in one room. Some come back in the middle of the night, while others are using a hairdryer in the room at 7 AM.

The common area is on the fourth floor, along with the reception. The reception is 24/7. The common area is a bar, but you can't sit there before 9:30 AM because they're cleaning. If you cook breakfast in the morning, there's nowhere to sit.

There's a small balcony outside the dorm room, good enough to sit on. However, it can be quite windy and a bit cold.

Being in the south, Malta in mid-December has higher temperatures than other places. It was sunny for four consecutive days, making it great for escaping the cold.

There's a bus stop right downstairs, making it convenient to get anywhere. However, Malta's buses are notoriously hard to wait for.

It's less than a 30-minute ride from the airport. There's a McDonald's and sea views nearby.

First impression was great, reception staff are very friendly. As for the rooms it’s what you expect for what you’re paying, still great value either way, the doors don’t open all the way in the sleeping room so if you come in at night the door slams against a bunk bed disturbing someone inside. Thankfully I had good bunk mates and had no trouble whatsoever.

Secondly the free tour with Patricia, arguably the best bang for your buck, it’s absolutely free! All you pay for are the fares for public transportation (I paid around €5 for buses all day) and any food or refreshments you need. I can’t emphasize how enthusiastic Patricia is, always positive, always giving off great energy even when some buses were late. I’d highly recommend.

Pretty good location, bus station is nearby. But Did not find hair dryer and pillow is quite high for me
