The Continental Hotel generally provides good value for money, and the restaurant stands out, with guests frequently praising its quality and reasonable prices. The cooked breakfast is made to order, offering a fresh and substantial start to the day. The building's exterior, along with the reception and dining areas, makes a very good impression with their modern and clean presentation.

friendly staff included breakfast

The staff members were friendly and helpful (I felt welcomed). The onsite restaurant was convenient, and I received a 15% discount on my meals there. The room was basic but very clean. The included breakfast offered good value considering the price.

The car park was quite steep.

basic stay with some hiccups

broken lift noisy group

the room was clean and the bedding and towels also looked clean I guess.

The lift was out of service. I had to haul my luggage up the stairs. a group of noisy people kept me awake until 2:30 am. What a joy. the breakfast was pretty simple and lacked a fried egg. I wanted one

out of service lift limited bread selection

The lift was out of service. this meant a trek up the stairs (not fun after a long day). also, the breakfast was a bit underwhelming. The bread selection was limited, and it was difficult to make toast.

mixed experience, some positives, some letdowns

missing amenities standard room

the staff were polite. cooked breakfast was available and made to order.

I found some aspects disappointing. the room lacked promised amenities. There was no fridge with water or bathrobes as advertised. it was like i overpaid for what was essentially a standard room (perhaps i should have confirmed what was included beforehand).
