Let's say the resort still harks back to a time decades ago. On check-in, the young staff members are rather unfriendly and their hearts are just not in it. They ask if you are sure that you really want a "matrimonial" room (I know a little Romanian and understand that this is the correct term). They then run through their spiel through the hotel policies and facilities in 10 seconds as fast as possible. Customer service is non-existent. If you are a girl, you may get good service. The room itself is very dated. Air conditioning was functional but not able to bring the temperature of the room down. Wifi was very weak and slow. Two out three jacuzzis/spas were broken. It is obvious no money is being spent on this hotel as I can see in reviews one year ago that they were broken then too and they will probably be broken indefinitely. Towels are not provided for the swimming pool. You are meant to either ask for them at the front desk (where they are incredulous that you would ask for towels) or just take your bath towels. The towels are a limited commodity as we took some towels down and some guy stole our towel and started using it as he didn't have one - proving why the hotel should provide free pool towels for guests. The hotel seems to stuck in the 90s or even earlier, relying on its former glories. It desperately needs renovation and staff training. Oh, and there is a nightclub downstairs.

Large rooms, comfortable but very noisy. They are not properly phonic isolated so you can hear all the traffic during night. The breakfast was disappointing- old bread, ols mushrooms and eggant salads.

A rather 3* hotel
Not sure if one can call it a 4* hotel but it was clean. Shower gels and soaps were looking a bit odd. Overall we were ok with the stay but some small changes could improve a lot the perception.

Hotel Continental Timisoara review
The room was not very clean, smelled like ciggarette. Furniture and the bathroom are quite old. The spa services , pool and saunas were only e few open. (one sauna closed, jacuzzi closed). We had a 2 day trip, the second night we chose another hotel , much cheaper and better conditions

Great location, main areas only a short walk away
We only stayed here one night, as was heading to Belgrade early the next day. Location is good, its less than a 10 minute walk to St Georges Cathedral and also a short walk to Victory Square. We didn't stay long enough to use the swimming pool or many other facilities.

Warm & Friendly
A fresh warm welcome at unsociable hour (0300) but the hotel reception was a friendly welcome. Room was a good size, and clean. My only adverse comment is that only cash transaction are in Romanian Lei not Euro?

OK but much improvement needed
The hotel needs a facelift to live up to today's four star standards. The rooms are comfortable enough but the air conditioning doesn't work really well so watch out should you come in the summer as in May we were boiling. As the hotel is on a main avenue opening the window meant really loud traffic. The entrance could be more welcoming, it feels like the entrance to a conference hall and has little life doesn't care to promote culture or show the vibrancy of the city. Beds are semi comfortable but my biggest issue is that you can still smell the dust and smoke from when the hotel used to be a smoking hotel several decades ago. So if you are sensitive to dust and smoke be warned.
