About

Two Pillows Boutique Hostel is the first boutique hostel in Malta, and it provides truly unique accommodation in the heart of this brilliant country.

Located in the very centre of Sliema – one of the most in-demand-yet-tranquil locations anywhere on the island – it is literally a stone’s throw away from the sea and within easy walking distance of some great beaches and lidos. In fact, you can stroll down to cafés, bars, restaurants and shops within just a couple of minutes of leaving Two Pillows – making this the ideal base from which to explore the Maltese Islands.

You’ll also enjoy a range of accommodation options at the Hostel – from luxurious studio apartments to budget options for youths and other travellers in spacious, clean and comfortable hostel dorms. All of the rooms have been professionally converted within this traditional Maltese townhouse setting, blending the authentic ambience with convenient modern touches. Although the Hostel first opened its doors in 2013, it was extensively refurbished again in 2017, with a further set of rooms added into the expansion.

Two Pillows prides itself on the fact it is not a ‘party hostel’ – on the contrary, guests range from young couples, backpackers and solo travellers to students, retired couples and families. This variety helps to ensure our excellent atmosphere, which is enjoyed across our many common areas – perfect for socialising, sharing tips and making new friends.

As a boutique hostel, design has played an important role in our concept. Here modern design was blended with authentic features, including limestone walls, a Maltese balcony, wooden beams and our lovely staircase. Our concept has kept innovation at the heart of everything we do – all our rooms were individually planned and special care was given to guest requirements. As a result, all of the rooms have silent air-conditioning and complimentary WI-FI. Meanwhile, our common areas are large, bright and incorporate our reception area, modern main kitchen, outdoor space with BBQ, breakfast area, internet station, luggage room, laundry, chill out area including free cable TV on 50-inch TV and book exchange.

So, whether you are looking to sample the beach, sun, Malta’s unique history or just need a break, you’ll find Two Pillows Boutique Hostel to be your best base for exploring the Islands of Malta. Pleasingly, Sliema and its many beaches are within walking distance, while Valletta – our capital city – is a short ferry or bus ride away and most other places of interest are directly connected to our town by bus.

And our facilities don’t stop there. We have chosen to create dorms with the ‘best hostel beds ever’. All of the dormitories are spacious and bright, with a maximum of just six people per a room. Beyond that, most of the dormitories have ensuite showers and toilets, while linen, storage space, WIFI access, and air conditioning are all included in the price.

And if you want your holiday to be a little more luxurious, then you could choose from the stunning studio apartments and suites that are also on offer, all of which provide more space and privacy. These rooms take the best from the building’s original architecture and combine it perfectly with gentle modern design to offer each traveller that boutique effect. The studio is fully-equipped with a kitchen and dining table. The suites and studio also have ensuite showers, large double beds, soap, wireless internet, air-conditioning, heating, cable TV, and WiFi, and gorgeous views – making them the perfect blend of hostel/hotel living. So, the privacy of your room will only be a few steps away from the great social atmosphere downstairs. Discounts also apply for long stays and group bookings.

Why not plan your stay at Two Pillows today? We promise to make you feel welcome and ensure your stay in Malta is one to remember. We will pass on genuine tips to make sure you see the better side of the Maltese Islands and will hopefully visit us and our lovely islands again.

Very nice hostel, super neat and tidy. The staff were really nice, friendly, and welcoming. The only thing I didn’t really like was that it wasn’t very social. Everyone seemed to keep to themselves, so it was a little difficult to meet people. It would be great if the hostel could organise social hours or activities to encourage guests to interact and get to know each other. Overall, I would still recommend the hostel. I really enjoyed my stay and had a great experience!

The hostel is definitely not worth the money. It was extremely expensive, and the balcony in the women’s dorm cannot be opened. Apparently, they had a security incident in the past when a man entered the room, so the balcony door is now permanently locked.However, the room is already very small, and it gets really stuffy. There is a small window above the balcony door, and they claim that it provides enough ventilation, but I honestly do not think it does.
