- John (3/5): I expect better from the hotel for the costs. I would not recommend your hotel and I travel allot. - The breakfast was only worm sometimes. Location was good. The dinner was not up to standards as the meat was tough and variety was not good. The hot water was off and on. some nights there was no pressure or hot water. The bathroom window hing was broken and nearly fell out onto me when i opened it. When i complained at reception on booking out another resident also complained about water and food. Internet was not good as it was off more than on. I travel all over the world on business with Ishida and National Packaging system and felt a little let down.
- Victor (8/5): Lovely - Location Clean
- Osvaldo (9/5): -
- TANTOH (4/5): -
- Mario (6/5): Overall ok. - Very basic. Didn't think its good value for money. Still waiting for them to send me my invoices, via email, after requesting this to be done.
- Kuango (10/5): -
- Elton (6/5): -
- B8sa (6/5): It's OK - It's one of the old hotels in Luanda. It's OK for business trips. They still have old carpets with stuffy smell. The shower head is not working properly.
- Nkosi (8/5): Very good - Food, cleanliness Mosquito
- Dias (8/5): Very good - Staff, location, breakfast Furniture, cleanness
- Riveros (10/5): A diamond not yet appreciated at its fullest. - Above and beyond expextation. Small but great food. And luandas best dessert. Their flan is fantastico.
- Yashar (10/5): - Very help management
- Simone (7/5): Good - position they dont accept mastercard
- Nagi (9/5): Superb -
- michiel (4/5): Dissapointing - They did not rock up for the airport pickup, the driver hadnt even left the hotel so they made me wait 15 minutes. The bed is a bit soft, shower doesnrt work that well with all the draines blocked in the bathroom. A lot of light outside so difficult to make the room dark. Reception was quite unhelpfull at arrival. They key card for the door keeps failing as well. finally the gym looks nice on the pictures but is not worth it. No real weights, chinese crappy equipment. Overall, not worth the money.
- Cidia (7/5): Good -
- Cidia (7/5): Good -
- Bamidele (9/5): Superb - The hot water in the shower need to be worked on. No hot water
- John (8/5): Good hotel but using cash can be a problem - Friendly staff Good food not too expensive Great Location The only real issue is that payment needs to be in cash which means carrying lots of dollars or Euros. If USD the notes cannot be more than 5 years old
- William (7/5): Good - A bit greasy Swimming Pool
- Nagi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Racheal (6/5): Pleasant - The beds,
- Paul (2/5): Not worth the price - There was nothing to like No up to even 3 Star standard
- Piotr (7/5): Good -
- Kpalitza (5/5): Ok option for overpriced Luanda - Staff is friendly but hardly speaks English. Makes an effort to give good service. The rooms are relatively quiet and decently sized. The breakfast buffet had a relatively good selection, although the coffee was awful. Booked a room with seaview and was given a room without. It took a lot of back and forth to rectify this mistake - and no apology whatsoever. Hotel is completely overprized for what you pay, but that's standard in Luanda.
- Oluwafemi (10/5): Really Nice and very Interesting to stay at Hotel Continental Luanda. - The Hotel Location was quite good and great and very strategic to other offices I needed to visit. The hotel food was also very good The staff also provided assistance when needed particularly when trying to get Taxi to places I was also happy with the Airport Pick up on arrival & drop off during my departure I cannot point to anything that i didn't like.
- Brandon (8/5): Very good -
- De (7/5): Good - Location Locals disturbing guests
- Kpalitza (6/5): Good option in an extremely overpriced city - The staff was very friendly, but very few staff members speak English or very little English. The rooms are clean and those with sea view are usually of a good size. Like everywhere in Luanda, the value you get for the price you pay is very low. The check-in is friendly but cumbersome. First question you are asked before you are handed your keys is when and how you will pay. I stayed at the hotel twice in the same week and both times was first given a room without sea view even though my booking was a room with sea view. It was a negotiation to get the room I booked both times and no apology. The breakfast buffet is average at best. The eggs/omletts are all pre-cooked, so if breakfast starts at 6am and you come at 7.30am, they've been sitting there for quite a while. The coffee is horrible! The meat of low quality. The gym facilities are extremely basic and from the 1970s/80s.
- Nagi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alison (10/5): Home from home - The terrace bar is pleasant, with a view on the marginal. As I don't go out in the evening alone its s nice place to sit. The staff are really friendly. The hotel is slightly dated. Not a 5 star experience, but homely.
- Mona (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ian (8/5): Very good - Very clean. Good location for walking around town and along the promenade. The staff are all very friendly. Charming building. Decent breakfast. Noce rooftop bar. AC close to bed.
- Nagi (9/5): Superb -
- Janet (10/5): The meals were very nice the buffet in the morning and evening. We even entertained some business colleagues. The restu - The staff are welcoming. The security is good and we felt very safe especially travelling with my daughter who stayed in sometimes in the day. She was safe. Nothing. Everything was perfect.
- ronnie (10/5): - Love the flan ! Love the place I think u dont market the hotel well enough. I would suggest to invest more in marketing, ur hotel is excellent.
- Chris (5/5): DONT STAY THERE - Guys in the rooftop bar, very nice men top star to them. The hotel manager was not a nice guy at all. The food was okay coffee was undrinkable, the shower water nearly ran and most times stopped altogether. and all my credit cards didn't work and they were all good. Very bad point.
- Thomas (7/5): Good -
- Brandon (8/5): Very good - hotel rooms are clean and comfortable. and good food.
- Margaret (8/5): Step back in time - Location and views from rooftop lounge,meals good and old style feel Staff need more training, some areas could use an update,food not overcooked
- V.t.reddy (9/5): enjoyed - good verity of foods not available for vegetarian
- Mona (9/5): Superb -
- Ericallan (8/5): Very good -
- Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
- Brett (5/5): Passable -
- aleksandros (6/5): - Only safe
- Arleth (5/5): Passable -
- Jiunn (7/5): Good -
- Dirk (9/5): Superb - Good breakfast and location is confenient towards the centre. Hotel is very good in arranging transporation if needed. If poissble they are also felxible with the check-in and check-out due to the international fligths and timing.
- Simanta (10/5): Exceptional - Location, lobby Food in the restaurant
- Brandon (7/5): very good stay :) - Location was good, food was good...staff very friendly and efficient. Wifi was very erratic, could not do much online work as it kept on dropping signal. and hotel was a little on the expensive side. But that seems to be most hotels in Luanda, angola.
- Hüseyin (7/5): Good - Building is old, staff is good, breakfast is also enough
- Hitesh (6/5): Pleasant -
- Anonymous (9/5): very recommended - service,clean,
- Hendrik (9/5): Big thanks to staff in assisting us with payment of our booking, very understanding - The hotel is located very central and we enjoyed breakfast contact details on website is not correct
- Herman (8/5): Very good -
- Verified traveler (8/5): Leisure stay January 2020 - By the standards of most of the world this hotel is overpriced. By Luanda standards it’s acceptable. The location is good and the hotel is secure. The hotel is showing signs of age, but the staff are friendly, it’s clean and the WiFi works well. The food is average but you can get a taxi to some reasonable restaurants on the Ilha.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Hotel is not overbooked. Quiet, and could get a good night rest
- Ermias (8/5): Fine Location in Luanda, Angola - Great location and great locality. The hotel is ideal for Luanda visitors, especially if you enjoy walking by the beach and enjoy work outs.
- Verified traveler (8/5): OK in Luanda - Nicht hervorragend, aber OK. Ich hatte keine sehr hohe Erwartungen. Auf dem Dach, ein Bar mit einfachen Mahlzeiten. Und Bier.
- Cara (8/5): - Great location, on the water. Pretty basic accommodation, but clean etc. Toilet broke on my first day in and it requires many people coming in and out. I also walked in on another person occupying my assigned room, so I would recommend triple locking it when you are in it. Overall they are trying but you can tell it’s seen better times.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice location, friendly & helpful reception staff - Overall the hotel was fine. The only lack was in the quality of the cuisine and the daytime staff of the restaurant were loud in their personal conversations in the eating area.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Near the sea - Rooms facing the sea have nice views. Service and up-keep needs improvement. Food and restaurants are iokay. Good to bargain on the room rates as the city is expensive.
- Alasdair (8/5): Handy comfortable hotel. - Good overall experience. My original room overlooked a construction site which often worked through the night. When it became a problem the hotel was more than happy to move me.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Pleasant Business Stay - Another pleasant stay at Hotel Continental.. not trying to be something it's not. A reasonably priced reliable choice in Luanda.
- Karen (8/5): Good value for money in Luanda - The rooftop bar was nice and the restaurant was pretty good.
- Jonathan (8/5): Great, well located option in Luanda. - This hotel offers excellent value for Luanda. Good location with easy access to downtown and the Ilha from the marginal. The best feature of the hotel is the roof terrace which offers great views and a cooling breeze in the evenings - try some grilled chouriço and a cold Cuca. The hotel staff are also warm and friendly and will go out of their way to help even if they're not the most organised at getting things done- but that's pretty normal :-). The room I stayed in was rear facing so didn't have a great view, but was comfortable enough with a good size bed and we'll fitted bathroom with shower. I will definitely be returning to Continental for my next stay in Luanda.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Reliable Hotel - This is the 5th time I have stayed at this hotel. The staff are always helpful. The room standard is reasonable, and in fact very good for Luanda.
- Gordon (8/5): Reliable and consistent - It is the guests that make this hotel. The hotel is reasonably priced (for angola), has working internet and is in an area near several of our clients / potential clients. Have stayed in 4 other hotels in Luanda and this is the best. Staff are ok, food is ok, rooms are old but clean (some look to have been redone), bar is good, location is excellent.
- Eliyahu (8/5): Ok hotel if you don't mind the smell of cigarettes - The hotel is standard for it's class. Price is high compared to expectation even for Luanda. One issue that can not be resolved in the hotel is finding a true non smoking room. I changed rooms three times all with heavy cigarette smell.
- David (8/5): Great roof top bar in the best value hotel - Great roof top bar. The quality reflects the price...very reasonable for Luanda. Perfectly acceptable hotel, slightly small rooms and simply furnished.
- Glen (6/5): Well located on the Marginal in Luanda - A 3* hotel that was certainly fit for purpose, a little tired but clean and everything worked, including the internet which was the best I have experienced in Luanda to date. Price wise its OK for Angola where everything is overpriced.
