Sliema's most imaginative place to stay, this hostel is decorated by local artists, with rooms called things like 'Tree', 'the Speech', 'Explosion' (covered in splattered paint) and the trippy 'Mush Room', where the murals glow in the dark; the bargain double is the romantic 'Lovers' Room'. There are original tiled floors and cool communal areas, including kitchen and roof terrace.
Regular barbecues and yoga are a plus.
