I really enjoyed being there. The food oh Im longing for the food people you must visit cant explain their hospitality to die for at the Continental. This place is for families,couples,Tour groups. The children has got also a space.I intend visiting there soon again.

I write this as I sit in my roomRooms are clean however furniture getting run down with poor repair work .Bathroom plumbing noisy and poor tiling. dstv has always been an issue here .Dstv is not working now . Only recordings of adverts. When i enquired from receptionist named Blessing ,he over 3 occasions said he was rebooting it . Then on 4th occasion he said that there was an error . DUH.No night manager and none available so indication that nothing is really managed.Would recommend it just for a sleep over if tired but not as a 4 star venue .Hope things change as this place is getting run down.

I was advised that Palm Continental held nice functions , so Last year I paid 50% deposit for the restaurant for this month, I went on Saturday to pay the balance and to finalize the settings, but on my arrival the restaurant manager told me that they already booked another function but they can squeeze us in the corner. Their tables seats 12 and they going to give me two 12 seating tables for 45 people. I called Altaff , the manager from Continental Hotel who arranged everything for me and he kept telling us he is in a meeting at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon. He refused to assist further and we sent him a message and told him to cancel. Since this morning the director of Palm Continental refuses to take my call.

Showers are terrible in design if u want to give kids a bath u will get soaked in the process.it just not logical. the rooms were not up to date in terms of cleanliness they just did the basic on top of cleaning. staff were helpful and nice and apologetic on the poor circumstances but ultimately I was not happy with the stay because of these issues this is twice in 6months I went in oct did the same thing went this pass weekend and it was the same

The hotel together with the venue is incredible! All members of staff at the hotel are friendly and very supportive. They take care of every fine detail and make sure your needs are catered for - first class service is an understatement. A big shout out to Altaf Sheikh (general manager) he is accommodating and a very pleasant person to communicate with. He made sure all my wedding events were just as I had imagined them to be. Thank you to everyone at Palm Continental Hotel, I wish you nothing but the best.Shabnam

When I first stayed over (about a year ago) I really enjoyed my stay. Room was clean and everything worked. Unfortunately as of late rooms are not cleaned properly, bedding was not changed, pillows were dirty and bathroom leaked like crazy!! Aircon does not work properly. I really cannot say I will be back. Sona and spa are only available occasionally and breakfast is horrible. Really not worth the extra for breakfast.Only thing that I can say is up to standard are the friendly reception staff. Thanks guys

Very poor service. Had booked a room almost 3 hours before arrival, on arrival room a mess. Still got a room that was not serviced. Person assisting earlier, who we requested to change the room had knocked off when we came back and still the room was not serviced. Never again !!!

We used the smaller venue on the 4th floor for our function. It was a rather hot evening and the aircons were not switched on/not working. A serious health risk.Also on Fri afternoon we arrived at the venue and asked the porter to assist in unpacking the boxes of glasswear from the car (we were 2 females alone) he refused saying that the manager does f allow it. Rather disappointing service.On a positive note... The food is always excellent

Great location to spend some time from the busy Johannesburg lifestyle. My favorite is the spa, treatment on the regular is a necessity and the salon is a regular guys safe haven. Thanks to the team for the incredible hair styling.

The floor was dirty with litter. Because it caters to Muslim guests means there is no alcohol in the hotel or the restaurant. Jacuzzis are separated into men and women. The staff were generally friendly though. The room was clean and well appointed. Some good, some bad is the best description.

Access and egress too close to the traffic light on a busy intersection. Extra care to be taken to avoid road rage and accidents. Hotel located in close proximity to discount and bulk buying nodes of Johannesburg.Hotel recently refurbished. Top quality finishes and the hotel is looking exceptionally nice. Restaurant serve wide variety of tasty meals. Also available is a big venue for conferencing and other events.Staff is friendly and service is on par. Rates charged are reasonableOn site secured parking available on premises

A little attention to detail needed in the area of showers and San ware and room service..... Issue of request for extra milk went unheard..... Rooms were good but shower was not up to scratch.... Restaurant was top notch. I would recommend Lal Qila anytime.... Good food and service

Review №62

The hotel is situated in a busy town, accommodates pre wedding and wedding ceremonies on the grounds (fully catered)However, the security level needs to increase (anybody can enter, the guards just open & close as vehicles arrive) The rooms are not cleaned thoroughly and have a stuffy smell. Customer service/ reservations are not up to standard, one pays approximately R1200.00 per stay, and when you call / request items for the rooms, they take up to an hour to deliver (an extension, multi-plug, bar stool etc.)Can be a lot better, but serves the purpose I guess :)

Paid for breakfast, its now 8:17am there is no sign of the receptionist, the managing director isnt answering.. All the numbers on the internet and their website just ring.People are smoking in the passage and nobody cares. Its like an abandoned place! Sucks!! Please dont even consider it!

After an unimpressive start to the stay, with booking mixups on arrival day, the place and people have grown on us.Enjoying the relaxed vibe, Indian cuisine, gym and eager staff.Cherry on top is that theyre upgrading us to a deluxe room to make up for the initial stress.All in all... Nice family getaway!

Given two towels for a family room when asked for towels we were told the hotel is busy and they have no extra towels and that we can only get towels at 4pm. 🤔. This is unacceptable very very very disappointed!

Extremely poor and disappointing booked a stay due to the pool,jacuzzi and sauna facility yet it seems nothing works.Got no help from the staff only got excuses and kept saying we will sort it out.Dont expect anything more than the basic bed and breakfast.For the price you pay it is not worth it.

Review №77

Restaurants service is pathetic. On two separate nights I was refused room service a full 25 minutes before the restaurant closes. This apparently due to the Chefs having left early. Unacceptable! If a hotel has a restaurant advised as open to a specific time it should be open to that time. Myself and other guests had to leave the premises to purchase food elsewhere.

Customer service is very bad, not helpful at all. The rooms, aircons, kettle were not in good condition. Was greeted by a mouse in the room we stayed in. LA Qila breakfast was nothing to brag about, the waiters are all in the bad mood and go like you doing them a favour.

Review №87

Needs major revamping. Worn out rooms. Room had water leaking from a shower above our room. Door frames made of wood all worn out. With hotel booked at full capacity staff experienced a shortage of towels. Cleaning not up to standard. Linen not changed daily. Great location for ppl needing to shop in centre but needs some major renovating.

Review №88

This is not a 4 star hotel. The staff members have really poor communication skills. Firstly, I booked this hotel purely because i was told i could check out late. I checked a few times as well by email and in person that I could check out at 1pm, I was told yes. Then at 11am at check out date i get told I need to check out. You need to communicate this earlier, not in the last minute. Even if you told me day before that you could not gurantee a late check out, i could have booked another hotel and gone there. They were really rude and unapologetic. I had to pack my bags hurriedly etc at the last minute all due to your poor communication.

Beautiful Hall and great facilities but their in house sound is pathetic and unmanaged hence the 3 star racing. For a venue like this I would expect decent sound for the size of the hall. I hope Palm Continental considers investing in better sounds.
