the whole experience in the continental was a living nightmare. we too were dropped off at night 5 mins away from the hotel. they had had floods in calella the previous week and the road was broken up., the big man on reception speaks no english and his white tee shirt was grey. he gestured to us as best he...

The hotel itself is quite nice. Its clean, not too far from the beach, swimming pool on the roof, but the staff aren't so helpful (other than Manolo, the barman). Also while we were staying there (in July), it was full of mainly German teenagers, school holidays and all, they were everywhere. Getting a good nights sleep was a mission.... More

Reception unhelpful, Food not the standard one would expect of a 2 star hotel,. Rooms small and in the summer very hot (over 30 C), Very noisy at night popular with the young party goers. More

i stayed with my girlfriend, the reception stay are useless and rude, the cleaners tried to make me and my girlfriend clean our room when we were about to leave by staning in the doorway and refusing to move while being agressive, food is low standard to say the least, but expected for the price, and the room was acceptable...

This is a very basic hotel, the rooms are small and dated, maid service erratic, cleanliness poor. Buffet continental breakfast and buffett lunch and dinner very basic fare and you are expected to clear your own table - worse than school dinners. The hotel caters to mostly Spanish tourists and groups of German schoolchildren. The Reception staff are very surly... More

This is more of a review of the other reviews about this hotel. I have to say, I think the 3 (english) reviews have been grossly unfair to the continental. Were you all aware that this hotel was 2 Star? Firstly, the issue with transfers is completely irrelevant (not the hotel's responsibility). Most of the staff spoke little english but... More

Just back form a week staying in Continental Hotel and i would not return! I read some negative reviews online before i went so i had mentally prepared myself for the worst! The actual rooms are ok - they are clean and we had fresh towels every day. The views from the (very small) balconies are not great, but the... More

My friend and I have just got back from a week in Calella staying at this 1970's throwback hotel. We arrived in Calella at 11pm, & the airport transfer dropped us at the top of the road about five minutes walk from the hotel due to the minivan being unable to access the one way street where the hotel is...

We have just returned from Hotel Continental and all I can say is "DO NOT BOOK THIS ONE!" if you are looking for a nice friendly, family holiday, this hotel should be avoided. On arrival at the hotel we were given a key to our apartment and a card stating what time we were allowed to eat dinner. As the... More
