75 words max.-approx 5 lines (for database reasons). Detail should be provided in Q. 27
This project intends to establish a student’s hostel in Malta to offer cost effective accommodation to the numerous students who
visit Malta for educational purposes. More importantly, the hostel intends to encourage social interaction between guests by
providing extensive common areas with cool interior designs and interesting activities for guests to mingle and thereby make the
most out of the time that they spend in Malta. Furthermore, the hostel will provide value for money, while offering a wide range of
amenities and accommodation options.
