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.
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.

Hotel is not overbooked. Quiet, and could get a good night rest
The big advantage of this hotel is the rooftop bar. In this bar you can have a very good meal at night. Nothing fancy, but very well prepared. The bar is important when you are a solo traveller, as walking around to restaurants at night is not advisable for a woman. Another advantage of the hotel is that they will pick you up at the airport. The rooms, however, are not great, but they are clean. It would be nice to have some more instant coffee in the room, though
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.
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.

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.
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.
Dette er et veldig ok sted å overnatte hvis du er på forretningsreise. Enkelt å få seg et måltid i baren, i tillegg til at det er en restaurant på hotellet. Bra kapasitet og stabilitet på internetforbindelse

Good value for money in Luanda
The rooftop bar was nice and the restaurant was pretty good.
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.

"Não vale qto. pesa".
O pessoal do hotel: atenciosos. O hotel necessita de uma reforma drástica. Suas instalações são precárias. "Não vale qto. pesa".
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.

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.

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.

Great roof top bar. The quality reflects the price...very reasonable for Luanda. Perfectly acceptable hotel, slightly small rooms and simply furnished.

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.
