WHAT ARE OUR GUESTS SAYING ABOUT OUR HOTEL?
"This is a great hotel for your first stay in Barcelona""Hotel Continental was excellent in every respect and we could not find any fault in the facilities. We had a superior room which was worth the extra cost, the balcony overlooking La Ramblas was wonderful to sit on in the day and early evening. The room was clean and comfortable and shower was great and there was no noise at night. Breakfast was fine and coffee good, the complementary 24 hour buffet and drinks was a lovely surprise. Beer and soft drinks great, wine was not so good. Lounge to sit with other guests was also good and we were able to make friends with other guests. We could not speak highly enough of the exceptional staff, the manager, and receptionists Nina and Anna were so helpful and professional and the buffet staff and cleaning staff were also friendly. We will definitely return to stay here again."

"One of the best locations in Barcelona!"As a 3 star this hotel was amazing. The history and character that it holds is outstanding! Make you feel like you’re a royal with golden walls it truly is photographic. I stayed in the suite which had a hugee sitting area, however the bedroom and bathroom was very small compared to the rest of the room. The bed was so comfy we slept brilliantly. However the bathroom was a let down, there was chipped paint, stains, a broke shower head holder and mould on the glass ceiling. This being said it had no effect on our stay. The location was so convenient, only a few minutes walk to the main square and metros. The staff were amazing! Got greeted at reception and taken to our rooms, they would always say hello around the hotel, just fabulous. The all day food and unlimited drink was so handy and a brilliant touch. Loved our stay!
