Hotel Continental
Historic hotel overlooking the river in central Rijeka
About this hotel
Overlooking the Rječina River, Hotel Continental stands as a symbol of Rijeka, a protected cultural monument dating back to 1888. Its central location places guests within easy reach of the city's main business, cultural, and historical attractions. The hotel offers nicely furnished, air-conditioned rooms, each with dark wood furniture and a warm décor, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring. The on-site restaurant serves a mix of national and international cuisine, while the hotel bar, with its inviting outdoor terrace, is a pleasant spot for a drink. This property is ideal for those who appreciate historical architecture and a prime city-centre position.

Our take
Hotel Continental is a three-star hotel in a protected building from 1888, overlooking the river in central Rijeka. Its character comes from the architecture and the dark wood furniture rather than from facilities, though the restaurant with national and international cuisine and the bar with an outdoor terrace are useful. Pets are accepted. My advice: choose it for a city stay or a stopover before a ferry, and walk to the Korzo and Trsat Castle from the door.
- ✓Explore the city's cultural and historical sites, many are just a short walk from the hotel.
- ✓Dine at the on-site restaurant to sample local and international dishes without leaving the property.
- ✓Enjoy a drink on the bar's outdoor terrace, offering views and a pleasant atmosphere.
