Very good hotel but being on a busy seafront it was noisy at night. The lifts were rather erratic so there was a bit of a wait at times. Very well placed for the bus service.

Humbug hotel.. meh!
Long wait for elevators 20min to get to main floor to check out. Employees not very knowledgeable or friendly with the exception room service who were very friendly and smiled. Main restaurant on 13th floor always closed unable to enjoy it. So sad.. Rooms rather small .. balcony (not hotels faults) gave out to much noise and construction work but hotel should have at least advised or given other options. Hotel Looks nice from outside but a little disappointing once inside.

We enjoyed the spaciousness of our room, but it lacked comforts such as a chair for each person--We had one. We enjoyed the nice size kettle for hot tea/coffee. I would have liked a desk or a table for my laptop...that area was taken up by tea center. I enjoyed sleeping on the mattress provided. My experience fell below expectations. Transportation access on the other hand was exemplary. Lots of buses to Valetta plus H-on H-off buses stopped right there. Lots of dining variety all around. The buffet is well regarded. When we were there, the building was surrounded with noisy construction projects. Many guests were discomforted by all the noise. I just think Preluna could do better as far as improving comfort in their rooms.

The hotel is under construction and we were not made aware of this by anyone prior to our stay. We booked 7 months in advance and our room wasn’t ready the first night. We stayed in a windowless room that had bugs and a horrible shower/sink/bathroom. The bed and linens were atrocious. One top sheet, horrible pillows. Scratchy sheets and there was sand in the bed our first night , when it should have been freshly cleaned. The pool was across the street and not clean nor updated. The spa is down the street, around the corner. Nothing is connected to the actual hotel. Construction started every morning (except Sunday) at 7am. It was horrible and we did not get a good night’s sleep during our whole stay. I’m usually a very positive person, I am not one to write negative reviews - this experience needed to be documented to let others know. The staff were nice, but had no ability to help us. We had to move rooms the second day, to the room type we actually booked. They said our room would be ready at 2pm. We show up at 2pm; we were not allowed into the room until 2:45pm. We had an event at 4:00pm and it was very hectic to get ready / move our bags/ unpack/ etc. I’m really disappointed with our stay. We have stayed at a different hotel in St. Paul’s Bay last year that was rated 3 stars and it was wildly nicer than this hotel.

We had a seaview room on a higher floor and it was excellent. The rooms are sound proofed, we had a balcony with excellent views over the ocean, perfect for sunrise, watching the ferries to Gozo, the incoming and outgoing cruise ships and dozens of yachts and power boats. There is a shopping mall about 8-10 minutes walk away, the ferry terminal is about 10 minutes walk too. There are several restaurants and bars close by, an ice cream kiosk opposite, plenty of seats to people watch or just sit. The promenade from the ferries to St Julian's is directly opposite, buses to Valletta and Mdina/Rabat run both ways from out front of the hotel. The buffet breakfast has plenty of variety, we didn't eat lunch or dinner in the hotel. There is a rooftop bar and separate restaurant for great views. Our room was clean, comfortable and quiet, the bathroom was spacious however there was little bench room for personal items and one hook for bath towels. Shampoo, conditioner and body lotion are supplied. I would stay there again.

Beware! Large parts of this hotel are still under construction/renovation. Photos depicted on website are not necessarily accurate. There are workmen and very loud construction noises throughout the day. We had stayed here before and were very pleased so were horrified when we were shown our room on this occasion and it felt half finished with a strong smell of paint. On complaining to the duty manager we were moved to a room in the main (original) part of the hotel and after that point everything was very nice and just as we remembered. Just very disappointed that we had to go through such an awful and upsetting process initially. Thank you to Mr Mifsud again for assisting.

The staff were wonderful, rooms were clean and the beach club was a great addition to the trip. Our only issue was that there was a barking dog in a building next to the hotel…and the dog barks constantly…morning and night. Management has tried to rectify this, but they are unable as the dog is not on hotel property. Aside from this, simply beautiful experience. Great location too!

I have stayed at the Preluna twice before, I love the staff at the Preluna, everyone was always polite and welcoming and friendly. I love the breakfast at the Preluna, it has everything anyone could ask for. I was suprised that the part of the hotel where I was staying was unergoing renovation, a little dusty in the corridors, my sister and I discovered some dust coming through the vents, oterwuse the room was comfortable, clean, spacious, the hooks in the bathroom are made for taller people and made it difficult for me to use. I would definitely stay there again, it is located in a perfect location, easily walk to many locations i Sliema.

We loved the hotel room and the staff all round were excellent. We loved the food and its plentiful choices. Only issue we found in room 2113 was the lack of wardrobe space for hanging dresses. This was immediately addressed by the staff with a portable rail which was very satisfactory for us. Biggest disappointment was the lack of poolside cover in the extreme heat. The hotel has been and still is being expanded hence the poolside needs extending in line with development. Building work at the side of the hotel never disturbed us at all. Overall a very enjoyable stay and we intend to return in the autumn.
