We stayed for 1 night. The property is in an excellent location within the city and very close to the underground station and aerobus stop from the airport. Reception staff were very welcoming. We had a balcony room and it was pretty quiet.

Wow! This was our favorite stay of our trip! The hotel is historic and the 24/7 availability of drinks, coffee, and snacks was such a nice perk! But the best part of our stay was our daily interactions with Vivian who was not only a gracious reception host but also an amazing human being! She made us smile every day and remembered such little details that made us feel welcome like it was our home away from home. We will stay here every time we visit Barcelona!

The main draw to Hotel Continental is it's location on La Rambla, the historic center of Barcelona. Our room was nice with comfortable beds (yes, plural, we had two twins) and a modern bathroom. The hotel is old so the decor and hallways reflected that. Still, it was in good condition. The buffet was fine for us at breakfast and then snacks during the day or evening. The staff was great and super helpful with all our 'touristy' questions. We'd stay there again.

The room and bathroom were very clean. A great location, walking distance to many sites. The included breakfast was very good, but I have never stayed at a hotel that had a complimentary snack/ drink area open 24hrs a day. It was like staying at your mother's house.
