Reviews and Ratings
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.
I had a pleasant stay at this boutique hotel, primarily due to its amazing location and the friendliness of the staff. The rooms were clean, and I appreciated the design of the beds. However, the breakfast options left much to be desired and certain issues like noise and heating need to be addressed. Overall, a great spot for a short visit at a decent price.
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.
I had a pleasant stay at Inhawi Boutique Hostel. The dorms offered a good level of privacy, and the location was fantastic, just a short walk from both Sliema and Paceville. I did encounter some issues with the lights in the bathroom and the breakfast left a bit to be desired, but overall, I found it to be a good value for money.
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.
