A very nice hotel, very well located (near the train station). The decoration of the rooms was really great. The perfect place for staying in Arezzo.

I chose this hotel for its location: near the railway station and not far from the historic centre. However the price was higher than other comparable hotels I stayed in in this part of Italy, and although clean and spacious, it seemed rather impersonal. Perhaps more suitable for business clients.

The location of this hotel is great. Very close to train and bus. It is easy to walk to various sights from the hotel.

This hotel was very conveniently located -- close to train station and close to the historical center of town. The room, however, was too small for three people and did not look anything like the photos on the web or in the hotel brochure at the hotel itself.

This was a great hotel and very convenient location to the "antique market". It was easy to find and the employees were very professional and helpful.

The web pages did not mention that the breakfast (9 euros) was not included in the proce. The room was very lovely, but the public areas "kitschissimo". The soundproofing between the room and the street was perfect, but very poor between the rooms.

Contintentale is ideally located for a stopover or for a longer visit to Arezzo. Close to RR station, all major sites are easily accessible from this hotel. Desk clerks were polite and helpful. Free access to Internet was appreciated. Street noise is a minor problem given its location at major intersection but room itself was reasonably insulated. Buffet breakfast,not included but reduced rate for guests, was generous. Room was a treat after ten nights in B&Bs!

We enjoyed our stay at the Continentale very much. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. They were able to suggest some lovely places to visit by car, e.g. Cortona and Montepulciano and some very good restaurants. Breafast only meal available. Everything very good except for the coffee which was poor. An excellent restaurant nearby was the Osteria Mercantile which was recommended by the Receptionist/Concierge.

This hotel was exactly what I was looking for--close to the train station, close to the city, providing easy access to the antique fair as well as all the sights. While there was a slight mosquito problem in my room, the staff was very helpful and provided me with two plug-ins as well as additional tablets. I had a great stay and would certainly return.

This was our first time in Arezzo. We were there for the antiques market. The Hotel Conintentale was perfectly situated for easy access to the entire city as well as to the train station. It was a terrific experience. We didn't have hotel breakfast, though, as it seemed expensive. A coffee bar across the street (Bar Blu?)was fabulous with great Sicilian pastries. We would return to this hotel in a heartbeat. And to Arezzo, a city with beautiful parks, lots of history, and a terrific Saturday night passegiata.

Overall a thoroughly pleasant stay. Staff were friendly and efficient and a couple of very minor problems were resolved quickly and amicably. Pleasant surroundings if lacking a little in character. The hotel web site gives a good representation of the actual situation on the ground.

From the moment we entered the lobby until the second we left, the staff went all out to make our stay outstandingly pleasant. Train times were found on line and printed, information about restaurants provided, directions to interesting places were given and more. I have never stayed at a more delighteful hotel. It was just like home.

After a long business week, it was a very confortable place to sleep...The hotel is very nice, a big room with all the things you need,the bathroom with bathtub, for business people is the best when you need to get some relax! The breakfast was complete and the employees were very polite and helpful. I do recommend this hotel. And I'll stay in this place next time...

I stayed at this hotel in April 2007. It is in a good location for exploring Arezzo--which I thoroughly enjoyed. I had some of the best food during my two months in Italy in Arezzo. It is a standard hotel--comfortable and modern. However, the staff was exceptional. I was stranded in Arezzo due to a rail strike and the gentleman at reception did everything in his power to help me by phoning car rental agencies, coaches, etc. I ended up staying an extra night which allowed me to enjoy more of the great food.

We were there for the antique fair - location was convenient. Room was small/crowded. This was the only place we stayed in Italy where there was confusion about breakfast inclusion and we were unhappy to be charged extra. It added considerably to the cost of the room.

Has a nice location; in between the train station and old town center. My room faces the back so it's quiet. The staff is friendly and gives good restaurant recommendations.

I really liked this hotel, but they need to upgrade their computer for the guests' use. It is an ancient Imac. They really need a newer model.

The "single" room was small,old and not refurbished.Good enough for a 1 night stay but decisely unpleasant to sleep in such a nice hotel with such an old and small single bed room.I would definitely not come back.The Hotel is nice and in the center of the town.

Excellent location, easy to walk to the railway station, easy to walk to the old town of Arrezzo with very good restaurants and bars nearby. The roof garden is very pleasant, especially the evening views over the town. We would have liked tea/ coffee facilities in the hotel or preferably in the room.

Hotel Continentale is a great place to stay in the older part of Arezzo. We found the staff quite helpful and friendly. The room was very comfortable and a good size for our length of stay (6 nights).

Wonderful position in Arezzo, drive straight there (or station just down road. They park your car for you for 13 Euro a day, so add that to the costs. We guessed that there weren't many choices for hotels in Arezzo and this was very good. Didn't use internet (in every room) but they lent us a adaptor for our equipment and were most helpful. Breakfast extra and not very good - go out round corner and get decent coffee!!!

Hotel Continental is ideally situated for visiting the sights of Arezzo and for travelling to and from other destinations..station and bus station only 5 minutes away. Staff, particularly porters were very helpful and friendly. Only drawback we felt was there was no restaurant on the premises and if it rains, which it did when we were there, it would be handy not to have to search for somewhere to eat. However, this is a minor gripe...overall very satisfied with the hotel and Arezzo is beautiful.

al posto di una matrimoniale c'e' stata data una doppia con i letti uniti (scomodissimi), forse un pò troppi 98 euro per una camera normale, accanto a noi una famiglia rumorosissima. così così

This was a great hotel. The staff was very friendly, and the room was as clean as one would expect. The hotel was very central...not even a 5-minute walk from the train station. This hotel will make your stay in Arezzo very enjoyable, and I would bet that you will absolutely fall in love with this part of the world.

Close to the station and you can use the internet in your room for 24 hrs for 5euros, though keyboard was a little bit difficult to use... The hotel was great but the price should be cheaper.

More of a business travelers hotel but close to the center enough that walking is easily done. Clean and quiet rooms are off the main streets in the back portion.

The location of a hotel is very convenient. The town of AREZZO was very beautiful and its food was delicious. All over a town, We can walk from a hotel anywhere, and convenient. And there was also a GOOOOD restaurant in the town. It was very good for making it a base.

Within walking distance from all attractions and the bus/train station. Rooms are exceptionally spacious. The only trouble we have was there were many (I personally killed four) mosquitos in the triple room! There was not any in the double room, strange enough!

This was our best hotel value in our entire 3-week holiday in Italy! The average nightly cost of Euro 115 included breakfast, laundry, internet connection time, and telephone charges. Service was friendly, prompt and staff was especially accomodating. We have already recommended Continentale to several friends.

It's close to the station and a supermarket, so it's very conveinent. You can use the Internet at the lobby. It's not free, but the fee was reasonable and the staff was kind, too. Compared with other hotels I stayed in Italy this summer (Milan, Rome, FLorence, etc.), the room charge was a little expensive, but generally speaking, this is a nice hotel.
