I joined my parents and sister, who came from Italy, at the continental hotel after a family friend had recommended it and stayed there for 5 days in May - we had 2 double rooms, one en-suite and the other one was standard, we opted for sharing shower and toilet as we didn't mind. Both rooms were clean and nice,... More

Do not expect comforts here or even 1 star expectations. Narrow staircases and dirty carpets need upgrading. Most, if not all the staff are foriegn workers or foriegn students as far as I understand their accent Benefit: .Near a main train station called 'Paddington'. More

We had twin room with... More

My friend and I were nearing the end of a 3 month trip when we stayed at the Continental Hotel. We were looking for a base - somewhere cheap, somewhere to sleep sometimes and somewhere to leave our luggage so we could travel light for the remainder of our trip. We also wanted to be near Paddington Station so that... More

Four friends we visited London 10 days ago and stayed for 5 days in a four-bedded room at the Continental hotel which was recommended by friends. When we made the booking we asked the receptionist the cheapest way to the hotel from Heathrow by train, he advised us to take the Heathrow connect to Paddington. The hotel is just around... More

Overall was an amazing experience. A good hotel to stay for a few days trip. Room service was excellent. The package includes breakfast as well and you can also ask for a takeaway if your getting late for your flight. Rooms are quite spacious and comfortable. More

3 of us were trying to find a cheap hotel room and stumbled across the Continental. They offered the most competitive price so we decided to go for it. We were allowed to inspect the room before deciding. On a quick inspection the room appeared to be okay for what we were paying. We experienced the thick layer of dust... More
