Corner Hostel Malta

Había chinches

Location Bed bugs all over the bed and mattress full of bed bugs. Beds very old.The insects biten us all over face and body. Manager never showed up didn't do anything to solve the problem at all. Nightmare hotel

Somente a localização. A cozinha estava suja, o banheiro não tinha água fria na torneira da pia e nem era limpo diariamente. O box era de cortina e o banheiro ficava totalmente alagado, colocavam toalhas pelo chão. Não tem ar condicionado e os ventiladores são precários. Tinha percevejos no chão e no teto. Não tem água disponível para tomar.

Beware! There are bedbugs in room 11, on the second floor! They're coming down from the ceiling.

BED BUGS, never stay here. They have bugs all over the place. I had to leave at 10 pm, cuz they couldn’t find another room for me. BED BUGS, never stay here. They have bugs all over the place. I had to leave at 10 pm, cuz they couldn’t find another room for me.

Good location, friendly staff. The room had beg bugs. I booked it for 3 nights, on the first night, before I even slept, I started getting bitten by bed bugs. Moved to the sofa in the lounge, there were bed bugs there too. I didn't sleep at all as I had to sit on a chair until 6am, before going to another place that I booked. The reception was closed, so I messaged them saying I wanted to cancel it all and asked for a full refund. They were understanding and refunded me. Also, there were no towels available or soap in the bathroom sink. Please sort out this bed bug problem, from the reviews it's clear that it's been going on for a while and lots of other people went through the same thing as me.

Absolutely nothing We went to check into this hostel only to overhear that they had to close a room and evict everyone due to a bedbug infestation! I ended up on the phone to the owner (who is incredibly rude, basically telling us to find other accommodation when we mentioned the bedbugs). We ended up cancelling our reservation here and finding an alternative place to stay.

Employees were really friendly Bed bugs, we didn’t stay and we asked for a refund, they did refund us but the experience of looking for an Airbnb at 11pm was not nice.

Severe bed bug infestation. Avoid this place. checked in and was forced to leave the hostel at 5:30 AM because the bed was heavily infested with active bed bugs. I have clear photo evidence of the bugs on the mattress. This is a major sanitary hazard.

It's dirty and full of bedbugs.

La présence des punaises de lit

bed bugs all over the bed at night and whole body in bites after nights here

The landlord availability represents the only positive point. We arrived late but still he kindly welcomed us with no problem. The hygiene was the most critical downside. As we arrived to our room, my girlfriend found out that her bed was full of bedbugs and other small insects; so, we had to sleep together in my bed. After a while I woke up as I felt something walking on my neck; then we realised that my bed was completely covered by those bugs too! No need to say that we haven’t slept that night. Apart from the bedbugs, the room was really hot: a fan is surely not enough to refresh the environment. The kitchen area was even hotter, just thinking about it makes me want to have a shower. The last thing is the lack of sockets: I found it hard to charge my phone in the bedroom even with a charger adapter.

Staff cordiale, simpatico e disponibile ad aiutare per qualsiasi richiesta. Gli spazi comuni, come cucina e salotto, erano ben forniti con il necessario. La posizione è centrale a tutto, nei pressi c’erano dei minimarket per qualcosa al volo mentre 10minuti di camminata c’era un Lidl per una spesa più ampia; a 20 minuti a piedi si arriva a Paceville, le fermate dei bus distavano 2 minuti dall’ostello. La mancanza di aria condizionata ha reso il riposo un po’ misero, avendo solo ventilatori e dovendo tenere le finestre aperte, si sentiva tutto quello che accadeva all’esterno. La pulizia non era delle migliori, la doccia presentava delle macchie di muffa e la tenda che chiudeva il box era datata e sporca. Consiglio di controllare le posate e piatti prima dell’utilizzo, in quanto gli altri ospiti non li pulivano al meglio. Alcuni ospiti hanno notato nelle loro camere alcune cimici da letto, consiglio di controllare attentamente prima soggiornare.

The kitchen was ok. It was cleaned daily, sadly the sheets had stains. We had a cockroach in our bathroom, and the other room had bed bugs. I got also bitten. The sheets were unclean. I wrote an email before arriving (asking about the bed bugs) - got no response, at arrival it was said: no worries, it's not in your room. And well, to the guys in that said room it was said they can't do anything about it. So, I still got the bites and found 3 bugs so far. I used to love to come here (it's my second time in that hostel). This time people were also sleeping on the sofa several nights (in the main area).

Staff, location, comfy beds, clean and value for money. I heard talk of bed bugs that concerns me. It wasn't in my room tho.

Nothing There were bedbugs by my bed. Once I discovered them, I didn't sleep in that bed. It was 11 PM, and the emergency number they provided wasn't being answered. I waited for morning in the common room, getting only fitful sleep. This hostel ruined my entire travel itinerary; it was a huge disappointment

The staff were really helpful. The kitchen was squeaky clean, and we could see they cleaned it every few hours. The bed had bedbugs. Also, the wooden beds squeaked every time you turned. The bathroom felt more like a furnace without any vent.

I only liked the location and how close it is to restaurants in Sliema. I was disappointed with several aspects of my stay. When I arrived late after traveling, I discovered that the rooms had been switched without any prior notice, while the lockers remained assigned as originally indicated. Although I consider myself flexible, this was frustrating given how late I arrived. There was no air conditioning, and the fan in the room was not working, which made the environment very uncomfortable. The most serious issue, however, was the presence of bed bugs. During the night, I felt bugs crawling on my body, and one even fell on me from the ceiling. When I turned on my flashlight and checked the bed, I saw adult bed bugs. As a result, I was unable to sleep for the rest of the night and ultimately had to leave the hostel. I informed the staff the next morning, but their response did not seem urgent or concerned. I was told they could only clean the bed sheets, and that moving me to another room was not possible because the hostel was fully booked. The only option offered was a refund for the remaining nights, but not for the night already spent even though the bed was clearly infested. When I asked about using bed bug spray or any immediate solution, I was told that this was not part of their protocol and that the room would need to be closed for proper disinfection. I was very dissatisfied with how the situation was handled. Additionally, I had to take extra precautions, including washing all my clothes, to ensure I did not carry bed bugs with me to another hostel. Overall, this was a very unpleasant experience, and I cannot recommend staying here.

It’s was near to city like st Julian’s or paceville It wasn’t clean at all there are bed bugs everywhere in each bed of my room. Also I was supposed to be in an only female room , and they put me in a mixed room. And when I go back to them for a explanation about this solution At first they just told me that they will talk to the manager… but didn’t gave me answer I had to go back to the receptionist to ask one more time about my situation, and they told me that they are full booked so they can not do anything for me Notice that I pay more just to be in a only female room I don’t have a refund or something like that The place is infected by bed buds I send a photo but I don’t have the possibility to send video and show you. How matter what happen Do never go at Corner hostel

The staff were really lovely and the kitchen facilities were good My whole room had bed bugs and all they did was wash our sheets which didn’t get rid of them. If I was there for 1 night it would’ve been fine but I was there for 4 nights so it’s really just unacceptable. Also my bed didn’t have a power plug but every other bed in my room had one…

It was about 10/15 minute walk from the main strip The hostel was so dirty There was dust everywhere The beds were so squeaky/nosiy with the smallest bit of movement There was no ac so it was boiling at nighttime and so hard to sleep Where the location is by the road it’s noisy with the cars going past all night long The shower was dirty with towels being placed on each corners of it which meant wet towels…. I also got some rash or bed bugs from this hostel constantly waking up with red dots everywhere on arms and legs that look like bedbugs I had to ask them to clean my bed and change the sheets

L'emplacement Avoid this place. Found bedbugs late at night and nobody answered the emergency line (they apologized later, but still). I had to sleep in the common area. They knew about the bugs weeks ago and did nothing. The bathrooms were also dirty, and I had to fight to get a refund for all my nights

Nothing I would not stay here again due to a serious bed bug issue during my stay. I woke up with multiple bites on my face, neck, and body and saw several bugs in the sleeping area. The situation became so uncomfortable that I could not sleep in the bed and spent the night in the living area/sofa instead. The experience caused significant discomfort, stress, and disruption to my trip. While the property did refund the affected night and my remaining nights after I reported the issue, that does not change the fact that I had to deal with the bites and a sleepless night. I am sharing this review so that future guests can make an informed decision and take appropriate precautions. I hope the property addresses the issue thoroughly before hosting more travellers.

Staff were pleasant enough, convenient location. Bed bugs!!! And unclean shower, very old pathetic pillow. Had to leave at 10:30pm due to the bed bugs and find somewhere else.

Nada. La habitación estaba llena de chinches por todas partes, paredes y caminando por las sábanas, nos acribillaron a picaduras a las que estábamos compartiendo habitación; no pudimos dormir en la habitación, 3 nos fuimos al sofá para intentar descansar. A partir de las 22h no hay personal en recepción y el número de teléfono de emergencia que nos dejaron no contestaba. Nos vimos desamparadas sin ninguna solución: ni policía ni sanidad, me ofrecieron enviarme una ambulancia pero la rechacé, llevaba la tarjeta sanitaria europea pero dudé ya que no sabía a dónde me llevaría y al regresar al día siguiente a España preferí espera a llegar aquí; en el aeropuerto de Malta compré un antihistamínico el cual sirvió de poco. Por la mañana reclamamos y no querian hacernos devolución del dinero, al final nos la hicieron pero a mi eso mo me compensa ya que temí por mi salud al ser alérgica. Me han salido unas ronchas enormes y pupas. El prurito fue descomunal. He intentado subir fotos para que haya constancia de lo sucedido pero en mi teléfono no me aparecen para poderlas subir. Lo inteno nuevamente.

The location was good The hostel has bed bugs!!

Bed bugs!!! I booked for one night, and after booking saw reviews about bed bugs from a while ago. Hoped they'd sorted it out. I was wrong! Shortly after getting into bed and laying my head on something I'm not quite sure can be called a pillow, I noticed a bed bug crawling about. So that was me up, packing, and making a very last minute reservation elsewhere at 10:30pm. Staff were pleasant and did refund me, not at all seeming surprised by my finding of bed bugs... Bathroom also not particularly clean, and mouldy.

Le personnel, la fille qui travaillait la bas tres gentille et serviable, meme l'homme aussi tres gentil et souriant. There bed bugs in the beds i couldn't sleep all night it was loterally an infestation everywhere even walking on walls covers and on the bed

A lot of people reported bed bugs in my last night at that hostel. Apparently it's a known problem when you look at old reviews. But neither they've done anything about nor did they do anything about the bed bugs now. Just offered a refund (for only one night) to a girl who had been bitten by the bigs the teo nights in a row. In the end five people spent the night in the common area because nobody wanted to stay in their rooms and the hostel was completely booked. Wouldn't recommend to go there

My room was full of bedbugs. I called the manager once I saw them, he said the hostel was fully booked and that they couldn't move me to another room, so he said that I'd have to sleep there. When I told him, no way I'm sleeping there, he offered to refund me. Ended up at 1h00 in the morning with nowhere to sleep, bringing a possible bedbug infestation with me

The staff were friendly, there was a kitchen and an elevator, and the location was great—just 100 meters from the beach. There are bed bugs! I get bitten every night! I complained to the staff, but they don't seem to have the authority to handle it. After communicating with the landlord, they said the room was full and there was nothing they could do, offering no solutions, no compensation, and they didn't even come to the room with me to check. It seems this isn't the first time this has happened. It's terrifying!

They don't have bed bugs as some have written people who work at the reception are wonderful This was my first stay in a hostel and I was pleasantly surprised very nice experience

This place had bed bugs!! They said they would take care of it. Hopefully !!! When I called the owner about the bedbugs, he said that he cannot offer us a solution of staying elsewhere.

The receptionist was very nice and helpful. The place had bed bugs and I was bitten by them all over my arms.

Nice vibe of the hostel, pretty quiet and not crowded. The kitchen is cozy and well equipped. Lockers and bathroom in the dorm is a convenience. The staff is very polite and helpful. Location - good connection to different parts of the island. Unfortunately, I had bedbugs! Bed 5A. Be careful. However, the hostel was understanding, apologized for it and returned the payment for remaining days as I moved away after 2 days.

HOSTEL HAS BED BUGS DO NOT STAY HERE. Owner tried to blame it on the travellers but the fact of the matter is if they trained their staff correctly they would have been able to find them instantly. It took me 5 seconds to find out that the bed bugs were hiding in the ceiling. Staff and the manager clearly doesn’t care about other people’s belongings or making sure the hostel is safe from pests. The only “solution” they offered was changing the bedsheets….how is that helpful if they’re living in the ceiling? He also didn’t pay for the cost of my laundry or the last minute hostel i had to get. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Bedbugs bite me all over my body! They did not even want to refund me. I will take legal steps this is not acceptable.

The owner is an ignorant person who doesn't even know how to tell time . The room smells so bad and there are bedbugs everywhere in the room. I advice people to skip this hostel .

the biggest issue is the bed bugs , i stayed for a week and have so many bites , i asked the staff for a bed change and they said they were fully booked (which was a lie) considering 2 beds next to me where completely empty for the remainder of my stay (4 days) everything else about the hostel is great, good bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, socials areas

Friendly staff, good location, okay amenitities. Bed bugs! and poor enforcement of rowdy and messy (alcoholic) guests

No pudimos alojarnos en el hostal ya que había chinches… me da pena tener que poner este comentario, porque cuando se lo comentamos en recepción enseguida nos devolvieron el dinero y fueron amables en ese sentido, pero este era un alojamiento que teníamos cogido con mucha antelación, así que el coste de tener que pagar un hotel al momento en pleno sliema fue elevado…

Good location Bed bugs. Covered in bites. Matey below me had major snoring problem sounded like he was connected to the speaker. This I know is not facilities fault but the bedbugs 100% are.

Friendly staff. Close to the sea. Bed bugs 🪲. Terrible experience.

main issue was the bedbug infestation. we found larvae and eggs in the bunk beds — hiding in the small holes in the wooden frames. The staff didn’t seem to believe us, even when we showed him the large number of bites. however, there was a very nice German volunteer who helped us, was open to communication, and quickly worked to find a solution. in general I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for a stress-free vacation. Even for a relatively low price, I still expect a clean place

Main issue is the bed bug infestation and the owners not willing to admit there is an issue despite photographic evidence. Rooms are also super hot and almost unbearable even in September

You have bed bugs. Bad place. I sat outside until morning to sleep in it because of the bed bugs.

It was my worst day in this hotel. I do not recommend it. They have bed bugs. I left the rooms and stayed in the hall. It is not just me. There are others who left their rooms because of the bed bugs.🤮
