Little gem of a hotel with excellent location
Perfect convenient location opposite train station and lovely staff member who checked us in- he found a room for us even though we arrived very early morning and expected we would have to just leave our luggage until check in time. Room was clean, quiet & restful and beds comfortable Air conditioning struggled and wasn’t really adequate for the room but it was a very hot couple of days. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

8/3-6,2024. Pro: location, cleanness, space, A/C, Friendly. Con: N/A. Great location, right across from the main train station, many restaurants nearby. The orange sign on the building was easy to find the hotel. Room and bathroom were clean and larger than average in Europe. A/C was a nice addition. USB outlets were great (but always carry a voltage converter/adapter when traveling to Europe for convenience since many hotels don’t have USB outlets). Staff were helpful and friendly. We truly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Continental.
