"Fabulous hotel in every way, we would highly recommend. Perfect convenient location on the waterfront, gorgeous view from room balcony, extremely helpful front desk staff (who saved our day by quickly arranging another long distance driver after ours cancelled at the last minute), wonderful buffet breakfast and restaurant onsite, We would love to stay there again."
"As noted by other travelers, beware if booking at Hotel Continental, do not expect the room you booked. I booked the Executive Room and by the pictures, I was expecting a nice room view and spacious bathroom. Then the day before check-in, I got an « upgrade » to Grand Savoia next door. As part of my trip research I did see this place having higher nightly rates. So I was likely switched to equivalent price, but this was definitely a downgrade. The room had no view and bathroom was cramped for me. And there was no shower curtain, so the water splashed everywhere. I wished there were more built in shelving to organize. Otherwise the hotel was nice and breakfast was just okay. The location is convenient next to a train station and walkable to old town. Just don’t expect the room you booked."
"Beware, Unfortunately, hotel never mentioned how to get to their location by car, they did reserve a parking spot in the valet garage for us. One problem with this hotel it’s in a bus only lane fine area. Google tells you to a U-turn at intersection light, which is a one-way oncoming traffic-wrong direction fine. Only way to get in is to do your U-turn over a double double line which we got a ticket for but the lowest of fines.
The hotel is amazing, clean, beautiful staircase the staff is wonderful, the breakfast is great. The service outstanding. Great location otherwise near Piazza Ferrari. "
