Hotel Continental

This hotel was very near to town and provided a comfortable nights stay prior to a crossing to Sicily. The price we paid was unbelievably cheap and I expected a small and basic room. However, what a pleasant surprise. Both the room and bathroom were spacious and comfortable. Our booking did not include breakfast and we were asked if we wanted to pay the 5 Euros each for breakfast. So pleased we did. One of the nicest breakfasts we have been offered on our travels through Italy.Parking in front of the hotel was free and so easy to find which was a bonus as often city parking is complicated and difficult.There was some refurbishment going on in the hotel but the staff made sure this did not impact on our stay. Very helpful and friendly staff. Arriving very early we were allowed to access our room well before check in time.

Very nice hotel for a short stay. Good localization.

We had a long stay at the Hotel Continental, and we couldn’t be happier about our choice. As we didn’t speak Italian very well, the whole staff was very kind to help us trough comunicacional in English. The room (suite) was excellent, very clean, with a great space for the guests, and also a good shower. The view at this room is just fantastic. The staff is always ready to help. We highly recommend the Hotel Continental.

The personel is the biggest value of the hotel. Everyone was always helpful and smiling, responding immediately to all requests. I also enjoyed the atmosphere in the hotel. The breakfast is very good, with excellent coffee, fresh fruits, soya milk, cereals and a great variety of cakes. The hotel is also very clean. The wi-fi connection is very good. The hotel also acts as intermediary of organised trips to Sicily (ask in the reception).

Some minor defects occurred during my 7 days stay, such as a hairdryer falling off the wall or a leaking toilet flush, but all were fixed immediately. The hotel is also a bit out of the center of Reggio, but it is still in a walking distance (approx. 10-15 minutes). In return, the proximity of the ferry to Sicily might be an advantage.
