Hotel Continental Balneario de Panticosa

They don’t speak English, the restaurants are slow, and the food quality is poor. Overall, it’s not good value for money.

A beautiful setting with fab drive up. The experience was slightly mad and surreal but would not have missed it. COMPLEX….This is a spa resort with a posh hotel and a mid range hotel the Continental which has two building.the architecture is a mix of historic Georgian and austere Eastern European. There is a covered 2nd floor walkway to the spa . The hotel really did try to hard sell us on email their spa experience which we declined. However the spa building was big and there were plenty of people walking around in white bathrobes. FOOD…..The complex is high in the mountains and is miles from anywhere so the only restaurants are on site. Out of peak season not all are open. We stayed in September and book half board buffet. The restaurant was in a huge room- canteen like. Partner said the restaurant had echoes of Butlins. There was a huge food choice hot and cold. Starters, mains and desserts. Some good some not so good. People were tucking in. It was busy, and slightly mad but enjoyable in a weird sort of way ( for one night at least) ROOM….For some inexplicable reason we got upgraded to a junior suite. Very nice. It was spacious and clean and had 2 toilets!!! The bed was very very firm. My partner did not get a good nights sleep. There was tea and coffee making facilities but no safe. There was a view of the mountain interrupted by view of the plaza in front with tables and chairs. The continental hotel does not offer views of nearby beautiful lake in fact I don’t think posh hotel does either. DRIVE..The drive up to the hotel complex is very windy with fabulous views. The drive really is worth it.

Hotel Continental Balneario The hotel is located in the heart of the Pyrenees mountains with a stunningly beautiful mountainside backdrop which is absolutely picturesque. The hotel has an extensive spa with thermal baths. It has its own in house restaurant and other restaurants on site. We ate in the hotel restaurant which was a tasty buffet style offering a wide range of salad, hot meals and deserts. All the staff were extremely friendly, polite and welcoming. This is a pristine place to stay especially if you are touring the Pyrenees. A number of fellow motorcyclists were staying at the same time.

This hotel totally lacks atmosphere, it is more like a conference centre or school! Nowhere near the claimed 4 stars. Plus points Fantastic location Comfy beds Minus points Car park is 150 mtrs from the lobby Air con not switched on despite room temp at 24c Long waits at check in. Bar in vast space lacking any atmosphere. Restaurant buffet food ok but not great, the meat quality poor. No hot water when we arrived late afternoon.
