We had an enjoyable 3-day stay at Hotel Continental, which served as a great base for exploring this part of Italy. The hotel is easily accessible from RC airport via the airport link buses number 27 or 28. It is within walking distance to the city centre, seafront, ferry port, and regional trains (Reggio Calabria Lido train station on the seafront). The double room on the 4th floor was compact but clean and comfortable, with stunning sea views of Sicily. The room also featured a spacious bathroom with an excellent shower and great air conditioning, as well as a well-stocked mini-fridge. The staff were welcoming and helpful, providing valuable suggestions for visiting Sicily from the port in Messina (an easy train journey to Taormina). The hotel restaurant was open for breakfast and evening meals from 7 to 10. Coffee was available from the bar throughout the day for 1 euro. We enjoyed day trips to Taormina from Messina by ferry/train and a second-day trip to Scilla on the regional train. The bronzes at the Archeological Museum in RC were worth visiting. We were very pleased with the hotel and service received. We would choose to stay at Hotel Continental again if we return to Reggio Calabria. Thank you

Nothing.

The property was immaculately clean, well positioned and staff were so caring, efficient and most helpful. They offered suggestions for day outings and printed off timetables. The breakfast staff were so considerate and personable. Great cakes were baked each morning!! They remembered our individual requests from the previous days! The room was fabulous (slightly small) but functional. The bathroom was superb with an amazing shower. It had different settings for spray, fountains and various water jets. An exceptional sea outlook from all of our windows including the bathroom! Everything was wonderful!!!!

The hotel is very modern and clean, the staff are exceptionally helpful. Our Italian is awful and they all did their best to help us in English. The hotel is also right next to the port which was brilliant for our day trip over to Sicily. Once we got home we realised we were wrongfully charged for a travel cot, I messaged the hotel and had the refund for the extra charge back in my account within 2 days. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

The shower doors didn’t shut properly, and for some reason the cleaners left the shower settings on the jets that shoot water right out the doors at you when turned on. Although very funny it did mean the bathroom floor got very wet.

I sleep in the suite on the last floor of the building. The room was plenty of space, with 2 beds, a big sofa, coffee machine, big and modern bathroom and a marvellous big balcony with terrific view in the nearby Sicily. With glasses covering 3 sides of the room, it’s plenty of light.The comfort is top. The hotel is conveniently located just in front of the hydrofoil station to Sicily, the fastest way to go there, and the train station “Reggio Calabria Lido” is only 5 minutes walking. Prices are very affordable for the quality of the room.

Everything good.

The property was a stones throw away from the Port. It was easy to find which was great after we had to get out of Sicily due to wildfires. The property is funky, clean and a 10 minute walk from the Archeological Museum (Raices Bronzes are a must see) and the main shopping street. Breakfast had muesli, coffee, fruit and yogurt which was perfect for us. plenty of other food like pastries, eggs and bacon if you wanted that. The Hotel rooms were beautiful. Comfortable beds (a double and two singles - ideal for a family), air conditioning which was a relief from the summer temperatures and a fantastic bathroom. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

The street area outside the property needs a little TLC but that is a council issue and not the hotels.

The staff were helpful. I particularly enjoyed my dinner and breakfast was very good also. The location was good for the museum but I found walking to the port area difficult and I could never have got to the hotel without the taxi. The room was comfortable and the shower was outstanding. Quiet, with good amenities.

I asked one of the staff for help getting to MaTera. He got me a driver, and then the taxi charged me 500 euro twice. He said he would sort it out…4 days later, I am still hoping. Other than that, I am happy with the hotel and staff.

Very friendly staff and very clean hotel. Ocean view from room was astonishing! Very well situated right near the ferry to go to Messina.

Was disappointed that the restaurant was not opened for supper. That should have been advised to us when booking. A little bit far by walk to the centro but if you don't mind the walk, then it's ok.

Great modern hotel. Well built & clean fresh, pleasant staff. Little out of centre but that was fine. Restaurant was excellent & very reasonable. Great value for money Only negative - No tea/coffee making facility in Standard Room. Have brought that to their attention as cost minimal. Would recommend & would stay again

As above - No tea/coffee/kettle in bedroom

Hotel next to the Blue Jet ferry terminal and 2 minute walk so easy to get to. 10 minute walk to the train station and the start of the main town. Rooms nice and clean & bathroom up to date - its a fairly new purpose built hotel.

Area around lacking with any shops/restaurants although there is one on the hotel which we did not try. We were sat in the bar area with friends and started to play Italian cards - the looks we got from the staff were certainly old school Calabria and were then told it was illegal to play cards of any sort in a public area. I laugh about it now but made to feel very ashamed at the time as was totally unaware !

This was an exceptionally good location for getting to the ferry to Messina (easy walking distance from the hotel). We were upgraded to a room with the most amazing view across to Sicily! All the staff are pleasant - they were extremely helpful in arranging our taxi from the train station. Breakfast was excellent and very good value.

The hotel is slightly faded, but all the staff are doing a great job to make it as good as possible.
