Negatief: Netheid, personeel en service en comfort kamer
No fan
The first time I stayed in the VBL hostel, is was OK. Not the cleanest, but they do their best, and what can you expect for this money? Check-in was a bit bothersome (and seems to invite cheating); the fact that you may not meet any staff during your stay is a bit weird. I imagine that there are people who would treat the place better if they felt more welcome, more aknowledged.
Be that as it may: the bed was clean, the locker key was where is should be, and thouigh the room had no AC, the window was open and there was a moving fan wich covered most of the room. Kept me comfortable enough. I slept well, bt then again, I ususally do, no matter the circumstances.
However, the second time I stayed with them I was in another room, or maybe I should add some scare quotes around the word "room", because it was'nt really a room: It had no window, and there were only some heavy curtains between the beds and the staircase, to create some semblance of privacy. Read that again: no window, heavy curtains. Also, of course, no AC, and NOT EVEN A FAN THIS TIME.
It can get pretty hot and stuffy at night, in Valetta...
I did not slep well.
