MyContinental Suceava

Un mauvais choix

Was a good stay, will book there next time

衞生：很乾凈 環境：特別舒適 服務：很細心熱情 設施：特別齊全，室內很温暖

The hotel is good, in the center of town, and convenient to everything. I stayed there overnight, waiting for my flight, scheduled to go from the Suceava airport, which is the only city with an airport in this part of Romania. The front desk staff was friendly. I didn't try the breakfast, because my flight left too early in the morning, but I will try it the next time I am in town.

The hotel does not deserve to belong into the Continental chain. There is a face lift off currently going on, but apart from new bed sheets colors, there isn't really any value added to the old place from the '70- '80s. The food in the restaurant is still good and so it's service. Lodging is a different matter: We arrived on a cold, rainy April day. We've walked around, the we dined, and ultimately, around 7-7:30 we've gone to our rooms. The room was frigid cold. Reception told us heating will go on at 9 pm. My wife has severe health issues. We asked to get the heat pump of the AC working, so that we could get some heat. The receptionist had to call the manager's home number several time to have her agree to give us a remote to start the AC unit. Around 9 pm the heating was on but was scarce. We woke up shivering in the morning. We paid approx. 90 euros/ night which, by local standards, it's a significant sum.

The weather in Suceava was cold and rainy. We got back to our rooms around 7 pm. The temperature was around 16 C. We were told heating starts at 9 pm. Reception, after a long argument, gave us the remote of the air conditioning unit, so that we could use the heating function, to heat the room. The heating was supposed to be on between 9 pm and 6 am, but we were overall cold the whole night. The hotel joined the Continental chain, but the only notable change, from the look it had 40 years ago, was the adoption of the blue fabrics color of the Continental chain. The furniture is outdated, the rooms are small, about 14 meters square, the bathrooms minimally updated.

I don't know where to start with this hotel to be honest. The food is appalling, we arrived late on a Monday night, and were famished. We were pleased to see the hotel restaurant (I say restaurant, using the term loosely) was still open. The waiter recommended me juicy meat , which tasted like something that had been stored for years, and a beef stew which was served cold. The room we booked had no safe, filthy shower, and 1/2 a toilet roll -this to be fair was replaced when I asked. I asked the receptionist about a safe, and was told they had no safes I could use. second day of this delightful stay ended up with me being served by a male bar member with glasses, who served me cold hot chocolate, that when I queried this, was threatened with the police bizarrely, I then left a tip which was literally through back at me. The 3rd day I asked if I could eat in the bar area, for 2 reasons, 1 the restaurant had zero atmosphere, and reminded me of a prison camp, and 2 I was working and the wifi was better in the bar. Initially I was told this was no problem, but when I went to order I was told no, but I could eat in my room. Very strange. When I did eventually get food, the pot of vinegar had fly's floating in them (still there this morning in several pots) which made me feel quite sick tbh. All in all very cheap, but you get what you pay for, the location is near what little is going on in the town, other than that nothing would bring me back to the hotel.

The hotel is well positioned in the centre of the city The reception was represented by friendly staff who spoke perfect English The check in time was quick with no problems at all The rooms are not big but more than adequate for the time stay The room was warm and the beds fine. Rooms was spotlessly clean with ample hot water for the shower. The breakfast was fine with both continental and cooked style. Fried eggs on demand. If I am to be picky The bar was very closed by 11:30. If you are disabled the ramp to the lift is at about 30 degrees and would be difficult to push a wheel chair up. That’s it, to summarise. The Continental is a 3 star hotel, excellent value for money. Everybody seemed friendly and we felt perfectly safe all of the time. From reading other reviews I was pleasantly surprised.
