Continental Hotel
802 E 7th St, Los Angeles, CA 90021, Los Angeles, United States
2-star hotel
Guest rating: 3.5 / 5
Continental Hotel is a modest, 2-star budget property located at 802 E 7th St in the Fashion District area of downtown Los Angeles. It occupies a no-frills, city-block setting geared toward travelers who want an affordable base near the urban core rather than resort-style extras. Specific on-site amenities are not documented, and guest feedback suggests rooms run small in size. The hotel's real draw is its walkable proximity to downtown LA's cultural core: Grand Central Market, MOCA, The Broad, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall are all within roughly a mile and a half. Crypto.com Arena and Dodger Stadium are also reachable within a few kilometers for event-goers. Major attractions like Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and Universal Studios sit well outside walking range and would require a car or rideshare.
Best for
This hotel suits budget-conscious travelers and solo visitors prioritizing a low nightly rate over amenities, particularly those attending events at Crypto.com Arena or exploring downtown's museum row (MOCA, The Broad, Walt Disney Concert Hall). It's less suited to travelers wanting resort amenities, spacious rooms, or easy access to Hollywood-area attractions, which sit 10+ kilometers away.
Travel tips
Plan on a car or rideshare for farther-flung sights like Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood Sign, TCL Chinese Theatre, and Universal Studios, all located more than 10 kilometers away. For downtown attractions -- Grand Central Market, MOCA, The Broad, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall -- walking or a short rideshare is feasible since these are all under 2 kilometers away. If attending an event at Crypto.com Arena or Dodger Stadium, factor in extra time for game-day traffic and parking in the surrounding streets.
What guests say
Guest feedback is mixed but centers on a few recurring points. Several reviewers highlight the affordable pricing and single out the on-site manager as friendly and helpful. Others note that rooms run small and have raised concerns about odors inside units, pointing to cleanliness or maintenance issues. A separate thread of feedback praises the property's quiet, low-key atmosphere, describing it as a discreet option for travelers who want to keep a low profile while visiting the city.
