Rough Guide "The grandly carpeted staircases, marbled floors and dark-wood doors of this venerable address’s halls and corridors convey a colonial splendour that doesn’t quite extend to its rooms."
DK Eyewitness "One of the most atmospheric hotels in Vietnam, the Continental Hotel is a sight in its own right, featuring classic French-colonial architecture, with arched windows and terraces."
Frommer's "If you want to stay here, you are most likely paying homage to the historical significance of the hotel." Full review
