I booked a studio suite through wotif and had no huge expectations for the so called listed 'hotel'. My partner and I were looking forward to a nights away in Cowes, Philip Island, but on first impression of the front of the hotel and not to mention the tacky and ultra dated reception, I was already turned off to an... more

Could not have been more disappointed! Paid $240 per night (through travel agent) and when queried my room rate after arrival (& seeing the room) was told by receptionist that our room is usually $120 per night..??? Absolutely no help from hotel staff when I requested a room change - and they weren't even fully booked! The Website is very... more

Hotel is located beutifully but it is really run down with 1970's deco, very ordinary furnishings, there was not what we expected lloking on internet site, everything what was already included in price (champagne, chocolates, beer, food voucher) we had to ask for. By the way where is that indoor swimming pool???? Hotel kitchen closed 8pm on Saturday!! Next morning... more

I booked this place because it said "absolute waterfront' on their website and Wotif. Being across the road from the water is NOT absolute waterfront. The room was ok, the noise from the inconsiderate people upstairs running their spa on and off and on and off and.. well you get the picture- all night was terrible. I was not impressed... more

Booked here after checking out their web site (VERY misleading!!). Went with my partner for a supposed 'relaxing' weekend. How wrong can you be!! Checked into our 'executive spa suite'. Sadly for me I paid in full at reception without loooking at the room. The room was cold and smelled musty. Tried to open the sliding doors to our balcony... more

I stayed at the Continental Phillip Island in April for one night on Easter Sunday with my husband and father. We paid $120 per room. The rooms were large and very clean, but the beds were pretty hard. The hotel itself is located right next to the main tourist area of Cowes and can be quite noisy. We stayed on... more

Booked a twin room as I was travelling with a work colleague only to find that one of us had to sleep on a fold out couch and that happened to be me. I was not told about this on booking and if I had been would have booked two separate rooms. The fold out couch was very uncomfortable and... more

We recently stay at The Continental Hotel and were blown away by the location and the staff who were truly fantastic right from receptionist through to the housekeepers who serviced our room daily. A complimentary drink on arrival is a nice touch. They even organised a trip out to seal rocks and to the penguin parade. Nothing is too much... more

All i can say is their website WAAAAAAAAAY overstates this accomodation... tiny concrete balconies, access via very weathered old steps.. their star rating is WRONG; this is 2 star at best. Buffet breakfast VERY ordinary.. DO NOT waste your moeny. There are lovely places on the island and we thought paying $240/night we would get a lovely hotel... this is... more

My boyfriend and I stayed here on Valentine's Day on a "Romantic Package" they offer before he heads off for 6 months overseas. What a waste. We had a room with a spa and ocean view but no way was it worth it. It is a complete dive. It's more like a motel but 3 storeys high. You can hear... more
