I don't think there has been any attempt at renovation in this hotel since at least pre-1980. The ceilings are low, the carpets are thin and covered with stains and/or chewing gum, there is visible mold in some areas and the entire places has a funky/moldy/smoky odor. The rooms are HUGE and ours had a great view. The downside is,... more

We booked the hotel for three days. The taxi driver took us to Continental Hotel, which was the wrong hotel, we asked him to take us to the Grand Continental, he said it was the worse one, the location was bad, and could we change it etc. So it did not start good!

Hotel was a big letdown. At this price there are many options available. The hotel and basic amenities looked tired and old. Swimming pool was like a big bath tub. No filter. My son got an eye infection. Hotel staff does not respond to telephone calls. Very poor house keeping. Very small rooms. Breakfast quality below par. Unfriendly staff. Location... more

Came back and stayed in this hotel again....(refer my review dated 15.10.08). It was absolutely a big mistake. My previous encountered with the staff was pleasant eventhough the hotel looked pretty tired, but this time around everything was not up to the standard at all. (The hotel still looked the same...no improvement) The service was absolutely a disgrace. No bellman... more

Travelling with partner and kids 6 & 9. Desk staff were friendly and helpful and spoke good english. Got room 1601 for the first night. A large room with one queen and two large single beds. Nothing like the room on the website. Very tired and stained. Beds, however, were more comfortable than most of the slabs used in other... more
