Hotel Continental

“Just above average, but nice location. ”

Nicely located a few minutes walk from the centre of Cremona, where there are a good number of restaurants, shops and bars. The hotel is clean, reasonably comfortable and not badly presented.

Nicely located a few minutes walk from the centre of Cremona, where there are a good number of restaurants, shops and bars. The hotel is clean, reasonably comfortable and not badly presented. It may be too modern and a bit of a concrete maze for some however. It was quite hot in the rooms and it looked as if 22C was the lower limit on the air conditioning. Being only supplied with one small pillow did not make for the best nights sleep. On that note the front rooms onto the street are noisy, especially if you keep the window open to cool the room. The food was nothing special, basic, reasonably presented and as in most of Italy far from hot on arrival. Breakfast was again basic. If you eat in the basement it can be claustrophobic and warm down there. There is a roof top restaurant which is superb for seafood, it's not cheap but well worth a try, we ate there on our second night as we were not impressed with the hotel food. There is also a pizza place next to the reception . I cannot speak to the staff as I did not interact or really see any of them, other than saying good morning at breakfast and handing in my room key.. Rated very good based on location and the roof top restaurant, other than that probably just above average. OK for a one or two night stay, but would not be my first choice should I be in the area again.

There is a pizza restaurant on site which would likely be a better option. Comments: overall not a bad hotel. Very clean and close to town. Chicken leg with roast potatoes

“OK for one night.”

A Reasonable hotel, the staff on reception and on the restaurant fairly pleasant. The rooms are a bit bland and dark, no English speaking channels on TV. Meals were downstairs and roof restaurant closed. Food was sparse and cold. OK for a stop over

“Not value for money”

The hotel was ok. There was a female concierge who was lovely and accommodating but the male concierge was not. When you asked questions about the bar and restaurant he waived off that the restaurant was too full to have a drink and that it was uncomfortable to have a drink at the “honesty bar” in … more

The hotel was ok. There was a female concierge who was lovely and accommodating but the male concierge was not. When you asked questions about the bar and restaurant he waived off that the restaurant was too full to have a drink and that it was uncomfortable to have a drink at the “honesty bar” in the middle of the check in area. The pizza place where I ate instead gave minimal toppings and again getting a drink is like getting blood from a stone. I came to see the cathedral, been there done that: Cremona can be done in a day trip- don’t worry about staying.
