positive:
Elegantly appointed rooms.
Rooms and suites at Hotel Forum are beautifully decorated in modern, contemporary colours which is further enhanced with modern, high quality furnishings and appointments. Larger suites offer plenty of space and the pillowtop beds, which are standard, are very comfortable. Rooms and en suite bathrooms are immaculately clean.
positive:
Owner-led service.
The hotel service is excellent and this is mainly due to the owners always being onsite to oversee day to day operations. Hotel staff are very friendly and approachable and display an excellent attitude towards providing quality service.
positive:
Beautiful, refurbished hotel.
Hotel Forum has recently undergone some major refurbishment to rooms and all open spaces throughout the hotel. Hotel décor is modern and up to date whilst still retaining an old-world charm in line with the city of Pompeii. All spaces are exceptionally clean from the pleasant lobby and front desk areas through to the charming open air dining areas.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Can be noisy.
The hotel is next to the main road that runs through the town and traffic noise can be very distracting and disruptive at night. This is more of a problem if windows are left open. The room walls are also quite thin and therefore noise from within the hotel can also be a bit disruptive.
negative:
Limited breakfast options.
Although breakfast is included, the continental buffet is quite limited as is the main restaurant menu. Fortunately there are plenty of local eateries nearby that are also well-priced if one gets bored with the menu.
negative:
Book rooms wisely.
Not all rooms offer the same amount of space in rooms as well as en suite bathroom facilities, some rooms also do not offer good views of the town, surrounding landscapes or excavation sites.
