We had a double room with shared shower and toilet which was clean at all times during our stay. The room and bed linen were clean, the beds were new and comfortable, and most important the price was unbeatable after we compared with nearby same category hotels. The price included also breakfast which was good. The staff were friendly and... More

After visiting a lot of this type of London hotels I must say that this is one of three properties I will not return to. The prepayed price for three nights were great, the staff were also very nice and tried to help us quickly in most cases, And we needed that! Firstly, bathroom. Ok it´s small, no problem. We... More

Like some of the other reviewers we booked at the continental hotel without expecting luxuries. Our room was clean, good size, overlooking the greenery - it was a triple room with private shower and toilet which were basic but clean and good enough for someone on a tight budget like us. We went to take breakfast around 7.45 am, there... More

We went here without great expectations (given the price and previous feedback). The beds were clean, rooms very basic, and the hotel is very well located (couple of minutes from Paddington Tube Station). The breakfast was also basic - cereal, toast etc, but adequate. The hotel could be doing with modernisation, or at least freshening up with new carpets, curtains... More

But serves the purpose. You can bring your own soft drinks, juices, sandwiches,...etc. Our room had a large window and lots of natural light which... More

We went to London for shopping over the weekend and stayed at the continental hotel. We looked at their web page if we could book online but they didn't have this facility only by e-mail or by phone, so we phoned the reception and booked a double room. Upon arrival we were greated with a smile, the receptionist asked us... More
