Rooms
However, other aspects need attention. The size of the rooms frequently comes up, with many guests describing them as very small or cramped. The hotel is described as being outdated, with numerous calls for renovation concerning decor, furnishings, and the overall condition of the bathrooms. Issues such as old and ill-smelling carpets, uncomfortable mattresses, and malfunctioning bathroom amenities, including broken shower doors and mold, seem to be recurrent.
Despite these concerns, visitors often highlight the warmth of the staff, who are frequently described as helpful and responsive, providing a positive customer service experience. Overall, while the hotel offers a comfortable stay for short visits, it significantly requires updates and maintenance work to enhance the guest experience.
Beds
Despite these drawbacks, a few guests still find the beds comfortable, fitting comfortably within their constraints. However, details about the mattress condition suggest inconsistencies in guest experiences, ranging from comfortable nights to significant discomfort due to old and sagging mattresses. For those looking for a straightforward and perhaps rustic sleeping experience, the beds might be deemed satisfactory. Nonetheless, it is apparent that the hotel's beds might benefit from an upgrade to ensure a uniformly comfortable experience for all guests.
Cleanliness
However, some reviews highlight areas needing attention. There's a consistent mention of the hotel's dated and poorly maintained structure, with particular emphasis on old bathrooms and worn fixtures. Instances of superficial cleaning practices are noted, with stained carpets, sheets, and mold in some bathrooms. The corridors also received criticism for their cleanliness, detracting from the overall experience.
While the hotel does offer a diverse breakfast spread enjoyed by many, the presence of loud music from a nearby restaurant can be a disturbance. Overall, Hotel Forum provides a basic clean lodging experience tempered by issues associated with an aging infrastructure.
