My wife and I stayed here for two nights. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Rooms were clean and good size for adequate room to move around. Hotel is located in the middle of Pompei, excellent location, and easy access to all the ruins of Pompeii. Breakfast was very good. Many fresh foods (fruits, yogurt, meat, eggs, cereals, etc..) to pick from and the waiter (I cannot remember his name) was excellent…….friendly and accommodating! The hidden gem of this place is the restaurant downstairs. We ate dinner there one night and our waitress, Dilletta, was fantastic. She is the granddaughter of the person who opened it up years ago and, I believe, now owns the restaurant. The meal was excellent! Service was also very good. Parking was across the street in a secure parking lot…..easy to park and walk back to the hotel. If we return to Pompeii, we will return to Hotel Forum…..definitely worth the money. Thanks to all the staff for making our stay there very enjoyable!

“Great stay right across from entrance to Pompei Scavi!”

Great location right across from an entrance to the ruins of ancient Pompei. The hotel is very clean, modern and has new technology for switches, etc. which was easy to use.

Great location right across from an entrance to the ruins of ancient Pompei. The hotel is very clean, modern and has new technology for switches, etc. which was easy to use. The room was on the smaller side but very comfortable with a large shared terrace on an upper floor. It is in a quiet location even though very convenient to the town. The breakfast was excellent as was the staff. There is a garden filled with lemon and orange trees that was even gorgeous in winter. I highly recommend this hotel and plan to return.

Nothing bad to say about hotel forum pompeii, the staff are friendly and helpful, Luigi at the bar is very knowledgeable and helpful with great service with a smile.

Nothing bad to say about hotel forum pompeii, the staff are friendly and helpful, Luigi at the bar is very knowledgeable and helpful with great service with a smile. I would like to mention our cleaner Susan (suzie) who accommodated my bleach allergy, making sure it was not used so thank you and no dust or dirt to be found anywhere in this hotel. The gardens are filled with orchard trees of lemon and orange which is beautiful to look at and the calm atmosphere here is perfect for a relaxing time in pompeii but close to the ruins, eateries and shopping.

“Nice, but not up to 4* standard I'm afraid...”

We recently stayed at the Forum Hotel Pompeii and had a mixed experience. There were definitely some positives, but several issues left us disappointed, especially considering this is rated as a 4‑star hotel. To start with the good: the location is absolutely perfect, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The hotel and our room were spotless, and the bed was very comfortable, which we really appreciated. Breakfast overall was very good, with a nice selection and generally enjoyable food. However, one morning a member of our party tried the mozzarella cheese and found it sour and clearly past its use‑by date, which was concerning from a food‑safety perspective. The room we were given did not match the description on the hotel’s website. Instead of a courtyard or city view, our window looked out over the back of the hotel, a tin roof, the bin area, and a large, constantly humming air‑conditioning unit. This made the room very noisy, especially at night. The air‑conditioning inside the room was also poor, leaving the room uncomfortably warm. Normally we would have opened the doors or windows for fresh air, but the noise from the external unit made that impossible, which really affected our comfort. We later discovered that the hotel has a roof terrace, but we were never informed about it or told how to access it. We only read about it on the website on our last day, which was a real shame, as we would have liked to use it during our stay. The room itself felt outdated, with a chipped mirror in the bathroom and a generally tired, dated feel. For a 4‑star property, we were also surprised that there were no tea or coffee‑making facilities in the room. On checkout, we were also charged for a “service” fee, but it wasn’t explained what this charge was for. To avoid confusion or any potential conflict, we simply paid it, but ideally guests should be clearly informed about what they are being charged for. Overall, while the hotel excels in cleanliness, staff friendliness, and location, the facilities and room quality don’t live up to a 4‑star rating. I would still recommend the hotel, but future guests should be aware of the points above so they know what to expect.
