Continental boast a fantastic city central location in the Mariahilf district, ideal for shopping enthusiasts, as it is just around the corner from Mariahilfer Strasse. Guests found the neighbourhood to be quiet and safe, yet close to many restaurants, bars, and within walking distance to most attractions and museums.
Continental serves a delicious, fresh breakfast, both plentiful and featuring a wide variety of foods. The complimentary buffet is self-serve and is a perfect stop to energise yourself before a long day out exploring. However, guests say that the dining area itself is small and can get busy.
The hotel is often complimented on its friendly and helpful staff. Guests said that they were informative and were more than happy to give directions, recommendations, and even local tips. Several guests even thought that the staff went out of their way to accommodate a request or resolve problems.
The rooms are air conditioned but the A/C units operate on a seasonal basis, and therefore turned off during “winter time”. Some guests unfortunately ran into hot days that when the A/C wasn't operating, but said that since the windows were able to be opened, the rooms didn't end up feeling too stuffy. There were, however, a few instances as well where the A/C was out of order during the summer as well.
Many guests didn't like the hotel entrance, and said that it made an unpleasant impression of the hotel. However, they also said that the rest of the hotel appears much better. In addition, some of the rooms could also use mild updates, as the furniture feels outdated.
Though most guests had no trouble, a few had mild Wi-Fi connectivity problems.
