The staff are excellent. Professional, courteous and arranged a taxi and gave tips on Bucharest. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms clean and have everything you could need. I would not hesitate to stay here next time I'm in Bucharest. Only fault is that prior to my visit I asked about taxis from the airport through the website which... More

Very convenient location in the center. Amazing combination of traditional and modern design. Very intimate atmosphere due to much smaller size compared to alternative 5 stars hotel nearby. Some practical details to be corrected though : - difficult to wash hands in the washball without spreading water around - not enough room to put own belongings around the washbasin -... More

Wonderfully elegant hotel smack in the centre of town. 5 mins walk to old town and shops. Value is incredible for such elegance. At the price its the only place i could stay in bucharest ever! Only slight quibble is the very modern bathroom which has some clever gadgets which are not very practical such as the crazy flat sink.... More

This hotel is a real Royal treat in the very heart of Bucharest. It has all the features of a Royal Palace with old, well maintained furnishings. Staff is very professional and helpful, especially in the breakfast room. Upon arrival we were upgraded to a beautiful suite, which we liked very much. Staying there is a remarkable experience. The quality... More

Probably the best buy in town. The decor of a real palace within the reality of the 21st century. A top location in the center of town, 10 minutes walk from the old town.

I last stayed in this hotel more than 15 years ago when it was a shabby but splendid relic of Old Bucharest. A few years ago it was magnificently renovated and if you want something a little less bland than the standard branded hotels then this makes a good choice, and, in my case, was excellent value. Rooms are large,... More

Attended a conference here. An old style period hotel. Service is average but location is good. Generally, there are many better hotels than this in Bucharest, so skip this place unless you have no choice.

We stayed 2 nights, overwhelmed by the lovely pictures on the internet. But the hotel was rather oldfashioned, small room with modern bathroom. No outstanding breakfastfacilities (in the basement with no views) and very basic wellness-area. We had a strange checkin: as a gay couple we got frowned upon when asking for a doublebed. The receptionist first whispered a colleague... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
"Grand elegance is back in Bucharest." At Grand Hotel Continental you will rediscover the old dimension of luxury in the hospitality. Architectural refinement details and exceptional services are dedicated to the elite clientele. We have restored the atmosphere of XIXth century, we have added the XXI-century technology and we have customized all services to create a unique and memorable experience for each guest. The Grand Hotel Continental is located on Calea Victoriei, a place full of history, the center of Bucharest high life since the 1800s. The building was built in 1886 by the plans of two known architects Mr. Enil Ritten Forster and I.I. Rasnovanu in German Renaissance style. It was first called "Otelul" and it was built where the old "Broft Hotel" (property of the businessman Menahem Elias) was before. Half a century later it took the Grand Hotel Continental name. The building has passed through a recent restoration, preserving the same classic structure and details. ... more   less
