We arrived around 4pm after a long drive from the North, didnt expect much but was pleasantly surprised with the friendliness of the front desk staff (got the keys ready for us) and very polite and pleasant concierge. The rooms are clean, good size and beautiful view facing the sea. I like the iron & ironing board and prayer mat available in the room, upon my request when I booked it. Oh, the TV is flat panel with movie channels!!

I will definitely consider this place the next time. Good experience staying at GC after more than 10 years not being in this city.

We arrived in Kuala Terengganu without a hotel reservation during the Chinese New Year and were able to find a room at the Grand Continental. Check in was friendly and efficient. Got to our non-smoking room (1113) and felt like we had stepped back into the 80s, LOL! The decor looked that dated. But the room was large and clean. We had a seaview room which gave us a good look at the beach reclamation work going on behind the hotel. The bed provided a great sleep and we woke up early to take advantage of the buffet breakfast. The buffet was fairly well stocked although choices for a Westerner are limited. Service staff was efficient at clearing tables. No problems at checkout.

We've stayed at various hotels in KT, from budget to luxury. So far, I like this one the best. Price was more than what I had wanted to pay, but this was Chinese New Year so I was happy that we were at least able to get a decent room without having to look too much. If you can get beyond the dated room decor, the rooms themselves are quite large and comfortable. Looks like we have found our homebase for future trips to KT...

This is definitely an overprice hotel. Its old and there is moisture smell on the walkway leading to your room. Of course you can view the South China Sea but currently landfill is being carry out in front of the hotel and it is definitely not a nice view at least for half a year. Breakfast is simple, not much choice but food is not bad.

We stayed for 5 nights over Hari Raya. We had booked into another hotel which turned out to be awful so rebooked with the GC. On arrival our check in was all in order in spite of us only having confirmed 10 minutes earlier. We loved the view of the beach, the size of the room and the good choices at breakfast. Our room was kept spotless.
Over the holiday the staff looked superb in their Hari Raya clothes. One highlight for me was the wonderful coffee and cream cake which tempted me from the glass cabinet.......
We would definitely stay here again!
