It was great (32nights) holiday! Very professional but also nice people work there👌 Breakfast is exceptional, always fresh and you can eat as much as you want. There is plenty to choose from! During my stay there were new kitchen appliances added to already well equipped ped kitchen. Things like blender, rice cooker ect. The organization or food storage is great. You can cook and bake if you wish. The beds are solid and stable with curtains that give you privacy. To my surprise they change bed linens and towels quite often 💥 There is plenty of common space to socialize but also cozy spots for some solitude if you need it ☮😎 In case of issue hostel employees will provide solutions. Close to bus stops, stores, cafes and restaurants.
The "band" of roosters in the neigherhood they tend to wake you up early in the morning 😱😅😂🤣😂😂 Personally I started to use ear-plugs - it solved the problem. There is really nothing I could put here and my stay was trully great 👌👌

I really loved this place. The old building gives a cozy and homely atmosphere, and is so different from a typical hostel. The staff were great, always friendly and helpful. Any concerns or feedback I brought up were received well, validated, and looked into. They are clearly working all the time to improve the facilities and experiences. It was great that breakfast was included, it was nothing overly special but had a decent quality and range of choices. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and also organized well, with lots of space, boxes, pantry closet... Good common area and many nice spots in the outside areas. My personal experience in the room was great, as the (comfortable) bed had privacy curtains, a shelf, a socket, a light, a few hooks, and a big drawer for my luggage underneath it. Also darkish curtains on the outside windows. Great location and well connected with public transport, shop close by. The combination of all of this made this one of my best hostel stays to date.
Not the hostel's fault but I guess overall it was just very humid and it would take days for clothes to dry, even dry clothes would feel clammy in the morning. Also quite early in the morning the roosters start screaming, so mind that if you are sensitive to it. There were two showers in the room for 12 people, with one including the toilet, and unfortunately people were not being very thoughtful about this. The one shower was very small and had the vent above it that was cold, so can't really blame them, but common toilets are far away and especially in the morning it can be problematic. The way airconditioning needed to be handled was also an issue.

I stayed there for 12 nights as a long stay. Really enjoyed staying in such a lovely friendly place. First of all, all the staff were so kind and always welcoming. Our rooms were cleaned every single day in the morning. The hostel is very convenient to go somewhere by foot or by bus and the bus station is nearby, you can even go to the airport directly. The breakfast is nice. The kitchen and the common area are clean as well as quiet. There is a lovely pool area and garden with a hammock. Was wonderful to chill out there. Overall was a good stay!
The hostel had a water problem when the outside was rainy. And also an electricity problem (2 days back to back happened) The room is cold, when you want to turn the AC on, you have to ask the receptionist to get the remote control. That was challenging for me every time to take it and turn back to it. In the shower there is limited hot water, it can turn to cold water after a while so need to take a quick shower. The mirror in the room is dark in colour, so difficult to see yourself clearly, while you are getting dressed and makeup. That's only my concern otherwise good place to stay!

Follow the Sun Hostel clearly excels in creating a welcoming and comfortable environment, evidenced by its friendly staff, clean facilities, and reliable amenities like warm water and comfortable beds. The stunning terrace view and varied breakfast options are significant pluses, contributing to a pleasant and memorable stay. The hostel's quiet atmosphere, while generally positive, also suggests a focus on relaxation. Strengths: * Exceptional Staff: The welcoming nature of the staff is a cornerstone of a positive hostel experience, and Follow the Sun Hostel appears to deliver on this front. * Comfort and Cleanliness: Cleanliness and comfortable beds are essential for any accommodation, and the hostel's provision of these, along with reliable warm water, is commendable. * Terrace Views and Breakfast: The combination of a scenic terrace and a varied breakfast enhances the overall guest experience, providing opportunities for relaxation and social interaction. * Quiet Atmosphere: The quiet ambiance is ideal for travelers seeking rest and relaxation, setting it apart from potentially noisier hostels. * Bed Privacy: The fact that the beds offer sufficient privacy is a large plus for many hostel goers. * Social Atmosphere: Easygoing and friendly and a large Plus is the pool in the backyard Overall: Follow the Sun Hostel appears to be an excellent choice for travelers seeking a clean, comfortable, and relaxing stay in Sliema. Its strengths lie in its attentive staff, well-maintained facilities, and pleasant atmosphere. However, travelers seeking a highly social or party-oriented experience might want to consider alternative options. The hostel's focus on tranquility and comfort makes it a valuable addition to Sliema's accommodation offerings.

Where do I start. This place is absolutely the best hostel on the island. I have tried many places and they were all a nightmare. I love how friendly the staff is. And all the wonderful people I have met here. Plus the free breakfast was exquisite. Everything in this facility is super clean. The view in the front of the hostel is a one of a kind. And to top it off there is a pool in the backyard which is super relaxing. And a garden at the bottom with two comfortable hammocks and lovely citrus trees which smells amazing. I highly recommend this place. Thank you so much follow the sun hostel. ✨✨✨✨❤️❤️❤️🌺🌺🌺🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Follow the Sun Hostel in St. Julians, Malta, and I can genuinely say it was one of the best hostel experiences I've ever had! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, always ready to help with recommendations for local attractions and dining. Their passion for hospitality truly shines! The hostel itself is clean, modern, and beautifully decorated, with a vibrant vibe that perfectly reflects the spirit of Malta. The common areas are spacious and inviting, making it easy to meet fellow travelers and share stories. I especially loved the outdoor spaces. The beds were cozy, ensuring a good night's sleep after a day of exploring. The location is ideal—just a short walk from the beach, lively bars, and excellent restaurants. Overall, I highly recommend Follow the Sun Hostel to anyone visiting St. Julians. Whether you're a solo traveler, a couple, or part of a group, this hostel is the perfect place to kick back, relax, and enjoy the beauty of Malta. I can’t wait to visit again!

Staff were so nice and helpful, check in and check out easy and fast. The place is very clean and the employees work on it all day long. Bed was really comfortable, AC in every room, plus extra blankets available if needed. Kitchen is well equipped and there is lot of space in living area. Everyone can find place for themselves. There is a pool with a view of the see, beautiful small garden with oh-so-lovely smelling fruit trees! Tv, board games, books etc. There is also laundry room so you can wash and dry your clothes. Breakfast was ok. Great value for a good price. Many bus stops, restaurants and shops around. Great location.
Sometimes there were internet issues but the staff took care of it immediately.

very central and easy assessable location, good value for money, extremely friendly staff, impressive building and free breakfast
if you are a solo female I DON’T recommend to stay in mixed dorm, stinky and snoring guys, some rooms smell just mouldy. The females dorm has at least a few problems - always busy toilets (one for 12 girls), not conscious water spending, most likely you’ll stay without hot water in the morning because some girls just treat showers like jacuzzi. Some shared showers and toilets commonly have a problem, they are just clogged! Obviously, one may say that it can bearable for this price but the question isn’t even in the price, the price is nice. This hostel has just been overrated.

This hostel is located in St.Julian’s, and area is quite busy and happening with a lots of restaurants and bars. The view of the sea from the hostel is amazing. There are two nearby bus stops from where you can take the buses to all over Malta. The hostel was clean and quiet (this is not a party hostel, which is exactly what I needed). The staff were courteous and helpful. I definitely recommend this place.
2 things I didn’t like about this hostel: 1. Breakfast: I found the breakfast to be quite underwhelming. There is no variety, the menu stays the same and the number of items in the breakfast is quite less, so you are stuck with the same items everyday. Also the vegetarian/vegan options are quite limited. 2. Nearby roosters and hens crowing early in the morning, which can be a bit disturbing sometimes.

Perfect localization, well commuted with the rest of the island with public transport. Despite being in the town cenre, I was feeling like in a village are (cock-a-dodle-doo in the morning: unforgetable) Friendly and helpful staff. Spacy comon space kitchen: perfectly equipped, though in rusch hours little crowdy. Breakfast: basic, but tasty, healthy and sufficient.
sometimes problems with joining to WI-FI. The staff could not explain why. However While joined, the connetion remained stable and efficient. Sleeping rooms rather crowded and filled with heavy, humid air smelling with wet towels (perghaps ventilation would work better), but it is very litte downside.
