Hotel Continental

Everything was good about the hotel. Friendly staff, clean hotel & room the room was clean as well. Overall, a good comfortable, convenient and a happy stay. Only a small suggestion- if they could cover their morning breakfast.

There is no air conditioning even though the weather was hot. There is a small box in the room that is not considered a refrigerator. If you open the window to cool the room, the neighbors will see you because they directly overlook a narrow street and mosquitoes will enter. The wooden floor creaks clearly if you walk on it, which disturbs others. The doors make a creaking sound if you open them and they need a little effort to grease them. There is no laundry service. I arrived at late night , and passed the the hotel without recognition as there is no illuminated identification sign on it. The best thing about the place is the staff, as they are cooperative and polite, and I thank them. The location is also great. The hotel is located on the main street of the city next to restaurants and bakeries, not far from the train station and not far from the ferry stop that operates on the lake. At the end of the street there is the entrance leading to the Evian water source, you can visit it easily. The place is quiet and the staff are helpful. I needed a taxi and they provided one to take me to Annecy , also I asked for an iron to press the clothes and they provided. The internet is good. The hotel is relatively cheap and the value for money is acceptable compared to its limited facilities.

Fantastic hotel, perfect location, clean and cozy rooms, the continental breakfast was the best I’ve ever had!

The hotel is very well positioned, easy walking distance of the lake, restaurants and funicular. Very warm and welcome greeting as we arrived at the hotel. The hotel is not modern but classic and very clean throughout. The room was a great size as was the bed and very comfortable too. Great shutters and windows to shut out the sun & noise although it wasn’t really a noisy area. Would definitely recommend and would stay again when we visit again.

Charming Hotel, with well sized room and an excellent location. Bed was comfy, view of the lake is stunning and although we didn’t have the breakfast it looked delicious. Would stay again.

The hotel is at the center of Evian, nearist place to Casino. friendly and warm welcome. There is park problem for your car. You need to book a park before arrive.

This hotel is more than 100 years old but the building maintenance and its simple classic decor is amazing. Minimal wood furnishings which are presentable enough and loads of space in the room. Very clean and simply decorated yet appealing and nostalgic. ||||The standard continental breakfast was lovely, having croissants & pain au chocolat in France is a must and they all tastes amazing. It would also be great to have a variety ||||The hotel staff provided fantastic hospitality, she was everywhere..at the reception, on the phone, brought the iron & board to our door, serving breakfast and recommending us the places worth to visit. It has the old style standard key lock to the wooden door and provided us with sufficient security. Another staff at Reception on our check out day was also kind enough to let us keep our luggage while we dine for breakfast nearby. ||||It really makes a difference to the hotel guests when staying in a hotel with good hospitality service. We had a pleasant stay, affordable yet we were contented provided by the staff, room wuality and breakfast. Evians les blains is beautiful and Lac Leman is just a few minutes away.

Let me caution you right off, you will not be able to drive up to the front of the hotel, but there is are two public parking lots that are very close and inexpensive. Our luggage is on wheels, so it was not a big deal. This is a small family-run hotel that is located right on the main shopping / pedestrian street, one block up from Lake Geneva, running parallel to the lake. The owners and others that run the reception desk are really friendly and very helpful with suggestions and directions to local attractions, shops and restaurants. English is spoken. The room was traditional French/European, with a very comfortable bed. It also contained a recently updated and very clean bathroom (and a real enclosed shower - thank you, thank you: yes, a real shower is very high on my list comfort items). The hotel offers a very nice and inexpensive breakfast buffet. We found the hotel was quiet and very comfortable. We had our elderly mother-in-law with us, so prior to booking we ensured that the hotel had an elevator. There are several restaurants right next door to the hotel. We found that the hotel was in the perfect location as we walked about Evian.

This to me seemed less like a hotel then a B&B. The room is nothing like you would find in America, the layout is old fashioned and thing that stood out the most to me was the way you can actually open the window here ( in the states most hotel rooms you cannot open the window) I do agree with the other poster about the way the room cleaning people act is weird. I had a lady open my door without knocking as well. The breakfast I was zero impressed about. I'm a vegetarian and unless you eat pastries for all 3 meals it is kinda hard to get food around here. We paid 16.00 for a breakfast ( my husband and I) that we both only ate a croissant and my husband ate a piece of cheese. But overall the man who runs the front desk was so nice and accommodating that when we come back we might stay again.

We chose this hotel to have stop in between our trip from Italy to home (in The Netherlands). The hotel itself is a cozy and in the middle of the shopping/restaurant street. The bed itself is very comfortable, although the pillows are way too soft and provide no support at all. Breakfast was reasonably good as can be expected in France, there was enough choice and the quality was good as well. From croissants to yoghurt, although we didn't find any fresh fruit unfortunately. Strange thing was that dogs were allowed, as one guest couple took their chihuahua into the breakfast room. To me this is not very hygienic and it should not be allowed. Within the room we encountered quite a lot of issues, some of which you can expect for a two star hotel, but some were even for a two star hotel in this price range bad. The shower cabin was of a reasonable size, but the toilet was put into a corner and you literally have no room to spare when you go to the toilet. We also did not find a "do not disturb" sign anywhere and on our second day we came back for some stuff at around 16:00 hours when the room was cleaned already, but even though someone tried to enter the room without knocking first. We had no idea why. The room itself had a very crooked floor and the tables at one side of the room were standing literally 10cm off the wall on top while the feet were placed against the wall. To us this was kind of scary, because sometimes you would stand on a part of the floor where you had the feeling to almost fall over. The whole hotel is also very noisy with extremely bad isolation. You could hear the elevator and people chatting across the hall. People walking in their room, whether it was above our room or next to it, was also very noisy. The bathroom cannot be locked, which was no issue for us, but it can be for some people. As a last thing I noticed the curtains do not close well at all. We had to use our suitcase in order to block incoming street lights. The personnel is very rude and if you ask them anything they immediately think you are blaming them and starting to react as if it is our fault. An example was that nowhere it is said where to park and that the hotel is badly accessible by car, which is why we were looking for quite a while to find a suitable spot to park our car (temporarily). The Wi-Fi connection was very instable, my iPad constantly lost the connection. All in all it was less than a two star hotel experience and we would not recommend this.
