VBL Hostel – Adults only

The hostel is a bit complicated to find. If you put in the hostel name on Google Maps, it will direct you to the office and not to the hostel dorms... I didn't know this and I wish the hostel were aware of this and would either inform about this in their emails, or if possible, have it changed on Google Maps. The good thing is that I got help from the emergency phone when I couldn't find the place, but I think it would've been nicer for the person on the other end of the phone if I wouldn't have had to call in the first place, i.e. if I had known about this. The bathrooms were clean and modern, but there were only three of them on the ground floor (as far as I'm concerned) for the whole hostel, so in the busy season it could possibly get crowded, plus if your bed is on the second floor, you have to go up and down between the floors to access them. There were no doors to the dorms, only a big partitioning curtain separating the beds from the hallway. This could potentially be unsafe, along with the fact that the hostel is never staffed. I only stayed for a night so I didn't have problems, but I do think that since there isn't even a door that you can lock for the 'room', lockers should not be charged for, as it should be a basic feature of a hostel to feel a sense of safety of being able to at least lock the room at night with your belongings. All in all, the hostel was clean and tidy, but these are points that could and should be improved.

Handy downtown Valletta if you don't mind paperwor

Room was ok. Somewhat awkward pre-registration and city-tax payment process, compounded by them initially including a cleaning fee which did not apply. Apart from that, communications were thorough and good, allowing for access and departure outside office hours (the apartment itself is not staffed). International power socket did not work for laptop charging, meaning a UK plug adaptor was essential. Location was very good for Valletta attractions and activities.

A VERY HOT PLACE IN THE SUMMER

The best thing about this place is its location. Otherwise, it has a lot of walk-through levels that get really-really hot during the summer, and there is NO air conditioner. If you don't buy a locker in advance, then you don't get it, and there could be some confusion about it. The best thing about this place is the service that people provide! They answer right away, and they even delivered a locker key to me about 11pm, after I wrote an email to them about 20 minutes earlier. Just amazing!

De Boutique, sólo el nombre. Nada más

Tuve la suerte de haberme comunicado antes de partir por mail, y ahí supe que los dormitorios estaban en otro lugar. Y como mi vuelo se retrasó, el taxista que me llevó lo conocía y no tuve problema. Es cómodo, limpio, pero muy básico. De no haber llevado un adaptador universal, no tenía luz por la noche. Hay luz general, pero se apagaba al poco tiempo. Un garrón. Tampoco tenía aire acondicionado, de modo que hubo que soportar el calor con ventiladores. Conozco la política de los hostels y no pretendo que me cambien las sábanas todos los días, pero tampoco es justo que no haya luz para maquillarse. Es para pasar una noche. No para una semana.

No fan

The first time I stayed in the VBL hostel, is was OK. Not the cleanest, but they do their best, and what can you expect for this money? Check-in was a bit bothersome (and seems to invite cheating); the fact that you may not meet any staff during your stay is a bit weird. I imagine that there are people who would treat the place better if they felt more welcome, more aknowledged. Be that as it may: the bed was clean, the locker key was where is should be, and thouigh the room had no AC, the window was open and there was a moving fan wich covered most of the room. Kept me comfortable enough. I slept well, bt then again, I ususally do, no matter the circumstances. However, the second time I stayed with them I was in another room, or maybe I should add some scare quotes around the word "room", because it was'nt really a room: It had no window, and there were only some heavy curtains between the beds and the staircase, to create some semblance of privacy. Read that again: no window, heavy curtains. Also, of course, no AC, and NOT EVEN A FAN THIS TIME. It can get pretty hot and stuffy at night, in Valetta... I did not slep well.

Simpatico dormitorio popolare molto caro per quello che offre

Réceptionnistes avec un Très bon accueil et compréhensible. Il faut savoir que l escalier pour accéder dans les chambres passe traverse les autres chambres. Cela peut être embêtant pour certain mais pas pour moi car j été ai dernier étage (3eme) Heureusement que le nettoyage est fait tous les jours car "certains résidents" ne savent pas trop vivre en communauté. L auberge de jeunesse est très bien situé. Merci pour ce séjour.

No hay recepción, ni rastro de contacto humano. Te envían un mail con un código para abrir la puerta y si por lo que sea te quedas fuera o pierdes el móvil, búscate la vida. Las camas están separadas de la escalera común sólo por uma cortina con lo que es muy fácil que te despierten, el check in es muy tarde y el check out muy temprano, la cama muy blanda, se me clavaban los muelles y se oían mucho los coches. Con lo que cobran podrían ofrecer algo mejor. El edificio tiene encanto pero es todo muy frío.

Céntrico.. pero muy descuidado!

El hotel es muy céntrico, pero no repetiría. Vale que es un hotel albergue.. pero tienes que pasar por todas las habitaciones para llegar a la tuya si es que no te toca la primera planta. Nada más llegar mi cama había sido ocupada, porque eso de que no puedes cambiarla !Qué va! Ahí todos hacen lo que quieren. Solo hay un baño para chicos y otra para chicas...que casi nunca lo encuentras limpio. Así que solo vais por unos días y buscáis algo solo para dormir estén hotel está bien.. de lo contrario buscad algo mejor.
