What Our Guests Say
review from a past guest
Stefie, George, and their family were so welcoming! The rooms were clean, the terrace was a peaceful place to sit and eat or study, and the university, grocery stores, bus stops, and other amenities only a short walk away. Perfect for an Erasmus semester and a great way to meet other students without living in dorms.

Tips for booking your student accommodation in Malta.
- It is advisable to book your accommodation well in advance. Student rooms and apartments at good rates tend to get snatched up quickly.

- Look for accommodation near the location of your studies or internship for your convenience. You can use Google Maps to check distances and also bus connections if necessary.
- Think about extra costs such as laundry service that is sometimes only available at a supplement, and the cost of living for groceries if you are on a self-catering basis.
- Check the amenities, noise and your accommodation preferences.
- Apply for a bus card before you arrive in Malta, as it may take around 3 weeks to process. With this card, you can save quite a bit on your travelling expenses as you can travel for free with it.
