Good hotels seem hard to find in Plymouth:- you either stay in guest-house B&Bs or large concrete chain hotels with most having mixed reviews. There are a small number of exceptions mainly on the seafront but the New Continental sits just back from the coastline and is within 15 minute's walk of most things of interest. Its appearance from the... More

Stayed here for a night on business, and the New Continental Hotel did a perfectly adequate job. The single room was an OK size and came with the usual conveniences, like TV, kettle and ironing board. I agree with other reviewers who comment that the place is a bit 'tired' looking, though you wouldn't necessarily know that when you see... More

The rest of the hotel does not match the lobby and bar. Stayed in a number of rooms, most were a little tired. If you stay at the wrong side of the hotel, it can be extremely noisy at night, as it faces down to the main student nightclub area of Plymouth. Breakfast was ok, and the sports facilities are...

I like to stay in hotels with leisure facilities to give me something to do of an evening. This hotel has above average facilities (I look at the types of machines and weight of the free weights rather than how posh or swanky the rooms are). For some reason I just never clicked with this hotel. I don't know whether... More

Book the holiday inn instead is my advice. The main areas of the hotel look recently refurbished and are lovely, the rest are a bit grotty. I can't believe nobody else seems to have pointed out how awful the leisure club is - small, cold pool and shabby, grimy changing area. Lots of cracked tiles and years of dirt in... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for your recent review with regards to your Christmas Lunch here at the New Continental Hotel. I am sorry that you found the Ballroom to be dated, this it is a regal style type room with high ceilings and traditional features. A new carpet was replaced in 2010 with the whole room being redecorated in October... More
