Great place to stay. Very friendly and helpful staff. Extremely clean and quiet.

My family stayed here for three days during our Italian trip. It was by far our favorite place. The rooms were very nice and the bathrooms were large and very clean and modern. The breakfast buffet is amazing. Many tasty and beautiful cakes and tidbits and wonderful fresh croussiants, the chocolate ones were exceptional. There is a small garden in the back with wonderful lemon trees growing. They were blooming when we were there and I have never smelled anything more wonderful. I would ask for a room on the back where you can enjoy the garden from your balcony. The service was very good and the staff was polite and gracious. We would love to visit them again and will if we are lucky enough to return to Italy. Zi Caterina down the street had some of the best food and wine we had in Italy. It is across the street from the hotel. We thought the beds were very comfortable.

We went to the Forum hotel for 1 night on the last month of April 2006. Now this is a 4 stars hotel.
The location is fantastic, on the opposite side to the gate of the archaeological site (about 100 meters only)
If you stay for only one night, the standard room is enough, for more nights it’s better to book a superior roomfor a little bit more (bigger and better furnished).
Beakfast is very good with a lot of dishes, the staff is very friendly and helpfull.
The safe parking is very close (about 50 meters only) and free for the hotel guests.

We stayed three nights at the Forum and would not hesitate to go back. Caught in a rainstorm, we were totally soaked after the five minute walk from the station, but were treated like arriving royalty by the always helpful staff. Our room was so airy and delightful - my children let it be known that we would be staying here for the remainder of our trip, or I could expect big trouble! No regrets, we visited the whole region using Pompei as our base. The Forum is well located because close to stations on both the state railway and the Circumvesuviana. Also there are several good restaurants close by, unlike the terrible tourist traps near the main entrance to the ruins.
I appreciated the free internet access and the lovely bathroom. Breakfast is only decent, but in a charming setting.
