Impressive lunch buffet c... More

The Hotel Continental is on one of the main streets downtown in Luanda. While not up to international standards it seems like the best option. The staff is certainly friendlier than at the Presidente and it is cheaper ~$280 vs. $350 for the Presidente. There are other hotels such as the Tropico, Alvalade and now the Skyna, but are all...

Despite my fears this hotel was absolutely fine. Air con, comfy bed, room was quite big - everything was ok. However, I would advise travellers to check their bills very carefully - my group were overcharged on some items and the hotel was not very accommodating in rectifying the bill.

The price is the issue- usd400 for a suite, but, a very nice/large one, albeit with a strange bathroom - toilet squeezed against a wall, towel rail IN the shower? Still, comfortable bed, good aircon, excellent room service, capable soundproofing from the street outside. Everything in Luanda is overpriced, so i guess this just has to be accepted. I doubt...

Finding hotel rooms in Luanda is a challenge these days, with so much oil business going on. Prices for even a simple hotel will be in excess of $200 / night. The Continental is not a bad hotel, nor is it great. This was my first stay in Luanda so I can't compare to others in the city. Reception area... More
