Lonely Planet "A five-star hotel of the old school, the Continental offers exquisite period rooms with privileged views over several interesting monuments." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Hotel Continental is regarded as one of the finest hotels in the world. It has been a family-run business for four generations and the building dates back more than a century."
Rough Guide Star
"Arguably the classiest hotel in town, family-owned and with swish public areas that ooze an easy comfort – all pastel shades, flowers, and even some Munch paintings."
Star Service "This grande dame holds the kind of sophisticated style that attracts a more loosely wound bloodline of landed gentry." Full review
