Hostel dorm beds in Valletta/Malta cost €18–28 per night — reasonable by EU standards though limited options exist in Valletta proper. Most Malta hostels are actually located in Sliema and Paceville/St Julian's, which are 15–20 minutes by bus from Valletta. Summer (June–August) prices increase 30–50% and availability becomes tight — book 3–4 weeks ahead. Festa season (village feasts, mainly June–September) can also affect availability island-wide. Private rooms in hostels cost €45–70 per night. Malta's compact size means location matters less than in larger countries — buses from any hostel to any attraction rarely take more than 45 minutes.
