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....

The only word I can use to describe our recent stay is disappointed! Expecting a nice luxury executive suite we turned up to a basic & dated room! Only good thing about this place is the sea view (if you have it). Breakfast very basic too. When checking out we weren't even asked how our stay was. I won't be... More

The room was very basic and are badly in need of updating, the tv wasnt digital so there was only 4 channels of average reception. The location is fantastic, it is so close to everything in Cowes. We only stayed 1 night and for the price I wasn't all that disappointed. The pool was definitely not solar heated as it... More

The standard of hotels in Australia are generally low anyway but this was even worse! We are not fussy and have backpacked all over the world in cheap accommodation but this wasn't even cheap!! $100 for an extremely shabby room with furniture that was about 80 years old and falling apart. We had a garden view room which had huge... More

Thankfully we had only booked the hotel for one night. It is listed as 3* but more equal to 2*. it was the only hotel we could get as a late booking so it was Hobson' choice. Having climbed the stairs to the top we were greeted by a filthy mattress leant against the wall of our room - not... More

We stayed at the hotel recently, the rooms are tired and old but we really didn't mind as we stayed there for the beautiful view from the balcony and the bed was very comfortable.I would still return, but only for the view.
