St. Julians · Malta
Marco Polo Hostel
Vibe Analysis
Marco Polo Hostel sits in a very central spot in St. Julian's, close to the bus station, the harbor, supermarkets, and the nightlife strip. The rooftop bar and terrace give it a loud, social feel, and the free day tours make it easy to get out during the day. The building feels old and worn, with rooms that can get hot and stuffy in summer. Air conditioning may only run at night or on request, so daytime heat can be a problem. Noise from the bar, the street, and late-night activity can carry into the rooms. Some rooms have curtains around the beds, but the beds, lockers, doors, and shower fixtures can be temperamental. Shared bathrooms and the kitchen can feel cramped, and the place can be messy in spots. It works best for someone who wants a lively base and does not mind rough edges.
