Inhawi Boutique Hostel exceeded my expectations with its clean facilities and amazing staff who were helpful and provided great tips for exploring the area. The social spaces, garden, and pool area made the stay enjoyable. However, I wished for more privacy in the dorms as the lack of curtains around the bunks was a bit disruptive at night. Overall, an excellent value for the amenities offered.

The hostel is in a great location, just a short walk from both Sliema and Paceville. I found the atmosphere friendly, and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel at home. However, some aspects need improvement, like the breakfast options and the bathroom light sensor. Overall, it's a solid choice for budget travelers, particularly due to the helpful staff.

My stay at this hostel was pleasant overall. The location is fantastic with bus stops, bars, and shops just a stone's throw away. The rooms were clean, although noise from above and some heating issues were challenging, and the dining experience left a bit to be desired with a basic breakfast. While the staff were wonderful and responsive, there were some issues that affected my comfort, especially regarding the fridge space and occasional power cuts.
