Great hotel - really friendly staff, especially the barman, live music in the bar area, and breakfast is excellent quality. Very good beds and shower. 

Only negative: Could hear the next door room when they were loudly talking, and doors slamming above, so if you want a completely sound-proof hotel this isn't for you, but this hotel isn't trying to be comparable to your tower block new-build Premier Inn.

Would stay here again

We were grateful to have found The Hotel Continental, situated right at the Harbour. The hotel is adjacent to the beach, the broadwalk and nature trails, offering expansive sea views from every floor.  

Don’t be discouraged by the unassuming and slightly well-worn exterior, the interior focuses on all the right elements. Fresh paint and contemporary design elements demonstrate a property well taken care of. 

The deluxe double sea room was great value for money.  They balanced superior accommodation without trivial luxuries and the combination worked great.  A warm room with clean comfortable bed and amazing view of the bay.  The bathroom was newly renovated, warm towel radiator and overnight personal supplies.  The shower had good water pressure and temperature. The wardrobe and beverage center was simple and refreshingly considerate.  Linens were soft, clean and comfortable.  It met our needs with thoughtful quality and we look forward to returning in the future.

Great Customer experience

Not accommodating at all. One thing vegetarian on the dinner menu - £17 for a butternut squash risotto. We politely asked if the chef could make us something else vegetarian, as I couldn’t eat risotto… the chef moaned about us to the reception in front of us & the reception confirmed “chef can’t make you anything else, as it’s his first day back from holiday” I then ask, well can I see the vegan menu/allergy menu? “We don’t have one”. I was made to feel really stupid for even asking… Good luck eating there if you have any food intolerances. When you’re paying a lot of money to stay somewhere, you expect to be able to eat dinner there!! Not a progressive hotel at all. 

No lift for anyone who may find the stairs too much - narrow stair case. Not very inclusive hotel at all. 

I wouldn’t stay here again, neither would I recommend it.

Not inclusive at all

Very unwelcoming! No atmosphere. Restaurant food average but with high prices… 
Restaurant service poor and not very attentive , empty glasses , no check back etc.
Could have done with a little music in the bar/ restaurant area to make it feel more atmospheric!

No atmosphere, lacking sole

Fabulous one night stay at The Continental.  Our room was perfect, sea view with balcony.  Facilities were excellent and the room was very contemporary and stylish. loves the shutters for door and window (sash) Very comfortable bed.  Staff very friendly and welcoming.  Car parking was free behind hotel.  The Continental is the perfect central location for a Whistable  stay.    It is a traditional hotel with the beach in front.     We are booked to stay again in December for one night xxx    Cannot wait  xx 

Just Fabulous at The Continental ! 

I went on a long trip from London hoping to experience a very nice relaxing holiday. Once we arrived to the hotel, my partner and I were greeted with disgust by the lady at the reception (short black hair), she did not make eye contact nor look at our faces when she was talking to us. As a smoker, we wanted a balcony room, however, we were told we couldn’t smoke in the balcony which was very disappointing! Being mindful, this was not noted beforehand.. There was a camera in the view of our room alongside with people being able to see us from the balcony and in our room, we had no privacy at all. The room was very small and tight, I felt claustrophobic - I couldn’t stay the night, my partner and I had to drive 2 hrs that night to London. The experience was very disappointing and I would highly NOT recommend it to anyone. Such disgust, such disappointment.

Terrible and disappointing experience

Lovely hotel in a great location. Staff couldn’t have been more pleasant or helpful-we felt very welcomed and valued. The room was small but perfectly formed! It had everything we needed- plus balcony - pity the weather denied us it’s use! The cafe/bar downstairs is spacious , airy, relaxed and friendly. We really liked it! Would definitely visit again!

Great location, cute rooms, lovely staff

This is a nice hotel in a great location for whitstable. Bar area is good although beware as 10% seems to be added to any orders at the bar even though you go to the bar to order which seems a bit cheeky. The hotel has its own car park although space is limited but a plus for this area

Nice hotel in good location

Very small double room but with beautiful direct sea view.  Spotlessly clean with plenty of hot water.  Parking at the hotel. Convenient location with easy walk into town.  Nice enough bar, albeit a bit cold.  You have to book breakfast the night before, but as we didn’t know if we would fancy breakfast we didn’t book, therefore we had to go elsewhere, although that was not a problem as we went to Samphire which was excellent.

Right on the beach

I stayed in the hotel continental last night. On booking into the hotel there was no one on reception so we used the bell provided. The receptionist was very rude. There was no welcome or indeed any pretence at pleasantries. She took our name and handed over a form and the key to our room. We needed to use the car park which was poorly signposted and very poorly lit. It was raining very heavily my husband asked if it would be possible to use the car spaces outside the hotel and she claimed she had no knowledge of the times of the street parking. Very difficult to believe that we were the first peole to ask about local street parking.
As it was a sunday there was no food available after 5. Residents could only have drinks in the bar up to 9 o clock. The room was on the 2and floor no offer of help with bags. This morning checking out no one on reception again. Two members of staff were eating large rolls in the room behind reception didnt acknowledge our prescience. A receptionist appeared. No greeting or enquiries about our stay. Asked for our room number and we left. The hotel has a beautiful aspect. It is nicely decorated but zero customer service. Training for all staff urgently required. The young girl in the bar was the only polite person we encountered.
