We selected the Continental Hotel at Cowes for its position - and that is perfect - great view and close to Cowes Town Centre. However when we arrived back at the hotel after the Penguin Parade on a freezing June night, there was no hot water or heating in the room. I called reception (closed!) but the manager of the...

Charged $170 per night, it was a complete joke as the room was disgusting. Will never stay there again, dirty spa, outdated furniture and tv, the building is falling apart, room was extremely damaged and hotel said they had no idea of damage so would have been charged for damage if they were not notified, paper thin walls, free breakfast...

We booked a 2 night stay at The Continental through an offer on Living Social, and then were left rather concerned after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor. Upon arrival at the hotel, our immediate thoughts were "so exactly how awful is this place going to be?", but we were pleasantly surprised. The young lady at the check-in desk was... More

If you have inadvertently booked this hotel and later discovered the low rating, do not fear. It is not as bad as it seems. My group stayed in a room large enough for 4 travelers and the rooms located on the 3rd floor offer nice views of the beach and sea. The beds were comfortable and bathroom adequate though small....
