Host families
Whether you are 15 or 50
years old, staying at a Maltese
host family is a good way to
apply and improve your English
language skills in everyday life.
Thanks to your host family,
you will better understand
our culture, immerse yourself
in it and look at the country
from the perspective of local
people. Our host families offer
single and shared rooms as
authorised by their licence.
Each host family provides
a daily, cold, continental
breakfast, a three-course
dinner and generally a packed
lunch.
Your hosts may be families,
couples or single persons –
all NSTS Malta host families
are carefully selected by our
hospitality team.
Hotels
According to your wishes we
may recommend good hotels in
the 3, 4 and 5-star categories as
well as furnished apartments on
short lets. They are in walking
or close distance of our school
and generally in Malta’s most
popular area of Sliema, Gzira and
St. Julian’s. We’d be happy to
make your reservation.
