I recently stayed 4 nights at Hotel Forum. Although its location is perfect and the view over the Roman Forum from the breakfast terrace is spectacular, there is a lot's of cons to this hotel.
1 - Room windows are not cutting the sound from the street and when on the coliseum side, not only do you constantly ear cars rolling on the fancy not so sound proofing square tiles that pave most of Rome streets, you also benefit from the Irish pub clientele that SIGN, TALK, SHOUT TILL 2 AM at night ... and this goes on ... 7 days a week. Fun, fun fun when you pay 150 Euro/night for a room listed as a 4 stars that looks no more than a 2 stars.
2 - Matresses are so unconfortable that I think they were originally used by Remus and Romulus ... time for hotel management to invest some money there . Fun, fun fun when you pay 150 Euro/night for a room listed as a 4 stars that looks no more than a 2 stars!
3 - Rooms and bedrooms are rather small and one need to be a yoga master to get on the toilet seat! Fun, fun fun when you pay 150 Euro/night for a room listed as a 4 stars that looks ....
4 - Front desk staff is extremely rude and unfriendly. Fun, fun fun when you pay 150 Euro/night for a room listed as a 4 stars that looks no more than a 2 stars. (Have I said that before).
5 - The best of the breakfast is the view. The food itself really is nothing special. Expected if in the end, your hotel only is a 2 stars. Too bad they claim they are a 4 stars!!!
More ... don't be fooled by the nice looking website ... it is not as nice when you get in your room!
Unique Qualities: Location ... nothing more.
If you like Irish pubs ... I became aware that there is one across the street !!!!
