Excellent
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The staff at the Preluna were excellent, especially Aslam at the front desk. Luckily I saw him on the sidewalk as I was limping to the hotel as I had sprained my ankle and he ran to get me a wheelchair and made sure I had ice. The hotel was incredibly clean. Was noisy during the day with renovations setting off the alarm in my room three times but that won’t last.
The hotel is right on the water in a beautiful area with a long boardwalk close to shops and restaurants. The breakfast was wonderful with outdoor balcony overlooking the ocean. The hotel provides access to the gym, pool, hot tub abd sauna in the adjacent facility. There were renovations going on inside and some noisy construction next door. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
The staff members were great from the young men who took care of my room on a daily basis, to the staff at Reception, to the waiters in the bars and restaurants. The waiters in the Triton Restaurant, where I had two meals each day, went above and beyhond the call of duty.
The hotel has good amenities. I wish I'd been there in the warmer season to take advantage of the outdoor pool which is built into the rocks right on the Mediterranean.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
All staff were great ..room was lovely ..The only downside was a nasty smell coming from the drains in the bathroom..
The room was spotless. It also was great for a family of 4. The price was worth it. It has everything- spa, gym, internal pool..... The staff was excellent too. Great experience. Thank you!
Room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Ideal for a long stay. We were disappointed with the Skyroom Grill, however, which was expensive yet the food was very average.
Spa was wonderful shops up the road and staff were friendly lovely view from balcony and car park over the road and bus stop opposite hotel Food fantastic
2nd time there and will go back again
Had wonderful views across the sea and bay and even better was the sun rising - which were fabulous
Pool very convenient/ Food excellent and staff went out of their way to answer any query or help whenever asked.
Very convenient walk to Sliema itself which we really enjoyed too
A GREAT stay all in all
Didn’t reply to my e-mail regarding arranging transport from the airport, I used both the reply on the e-mail I was sent via hotels.com & e-mailed direct.
Carpet outside our room did not look as though it was hoovered in the five days we stayed which was a shame as everywhere else seem to be cleaned.
Lovely hotel, great rooms & lovely amenities.
Booked for my parents for a special trip & the hotel were lovely enough to give a bottle of wine and card to celebrate.
It was centrally located in Sliema. There were plenty of restaurants nearby and within the hotel itself. We had a beautiful balcony overlooking the water and the promenade. Everything was walkable. The hotel was in excellent condition and the breakfast was amazing. Totally enjoyed our time at the resort and would stay again
