My wife and I enjoyed our two night's stay at The Hotel Continental. We were in a double room (No 14). The room was clean, well appointed and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was excellent and far better than you would normally find in a two star hotel. There are some delightful quirky features that add to the attraction of... More

Amazing rooms, great food. Full of character. Go if you are open minded and want something different!

Had a dreadful weekend stay at this hotel. Found the decor seedy and the room in need of a good clean. Proprietor was definitely odd - not a nice person at all and made us feel quite uncomfortable. Breakfast was tepid - when it eventually arrived. Definitely one to avoid

The rooms were spotlessly clean and imaginatlvly designed, the staff friendly and efficient, and the... More

The breakfast service was very slow and when it did arrive it was cold. The two hosts were quite hostile especially the man. It did not help that he appeared dirty and... More

This is a haunt created out of depravity. Bathroom dirty and smells. Owners off hand and he, odious.

I travel the country on business and soon get fed up with the faceless, 'lodge' type accomodation usually frequented by business travellers.

My room was very small but it was largely compensated by the fantastic sea view right in front of my bed! I opted to sleep without the curtains, a nice experience! The hotel was calm, and the street as well. The room was clean enough. I would recommend this hotel definitely.

So the decor isn't "corporate bland" - thank goodness! A warm welcome on a wet night. Room very clean & comfortable, everything worked. Shower room/wc clean & modern, shower good temp. Excellent full cooked breakfast, freshly prepared & tasty. Free on-street parking. Certainly a hotel I'd certainly choose to stay in again.
