“PRICE PROBABLY THE BEST THING”

Forum Hotel

25 May 2008

My husband and I stayed at this hotel as he was working on the Grand Prix (and most of the hotels were booked up). Because it was Grand Prix week-end the lift closest to the hotel was closed and the nearest lift we could get left us with a very steep climb (not ideal when you are an asthmatic!).

Our twin room was on the 4th floor and was very small (although the bathroom was quite spacious, but with no bath and a very tiny shower cubicle, which was quite grubby). It had a double wardrobe, desk and fridge. It was very dark and the flooring was a kind of nylon woven matting (not very comfortable).

The bar/breakfast room was rather 'canteen' like with unappealing furnishings and the breakfast did not impress us. There wasn't a huge choice and one morning we arrived about 30 minutes before breakfast finished and the ham was dried up and curling at the edges. My husband did eat at the hotel one evening before I arrived and the food was very nice, and he tells me that the bar was not over priced either.

There is a very slow lift which, when we were there, broke down (even worse for an asthmatic when you have just done the steep road climb and you are on the 4th floor :-( ). On the web site it boasts a roof terrace, but if you did not know that before you went you would not find out from the hotel. There is no indication at all. Only if you get out of the lift on the 5th floor do you see a sign. I think because many people are not aware of it and so do not use it, it has been left to deteriorate.

All in all, I suppose if you wanted to go to such an opulent place as Monaco on a tight budget, this hotel is fine. But if you are treating yourselves. it would be worth going for something a bit pricier.

“Really nice staff”

Forum Hotel

23 May 2008

The Hotel itself is very clean and comfortable and the rooms are more than adequate for travellers. What gives this hotel a 4 instead of a 3 is the really nice staff. I got to check out at 5pm. Plus for that internet wifi acess and a nice french breakfast is included.

Location is not the best and don't be fooled: the hotel is situated in France, about 100 m from the Monaco Border. It is very close to the super fancy Monaco Train Station, by walking through the station you have a good 15 min walk to the port, otherwise 30 min.

“Very nice budget hotel”

Forum Hotel

28 Apr 2008

The approach to the hotel is a rather steep winding road which is somewhat daunting for older people.However the hotel itself is very clean and comfortable and the rooms are more than adequate for travellers.Let's face it ,who wants to spend time in the hotel when there are things to be doing?We found the bath and handheld shower rather awkward for older people too but they are fine for young,nimble people.The breakfasts were fine,too,with good quality continental food on offer.Perhaps the baskets could have been replenished more quickly!I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the hotel to others.

“OK Location, Less Than OK Hotel”

Forum Hotel

2 of 5 stars

4/4 found this review helpful

This hotel is located in an OK location that allows you to make way to all the sites in the little Principality of Monaco. The hotel is located in a quite residential area that is removed from the hustle and bustle of Monaco Centre. With that said you really have to think about why you are going to Monaco before booking this hotel. If you are visiting somebody that lives in the area or if you have a business function and you don't have an excess of money then this is a good hotel for you. Also, if you just want to "be" in Monaco to see the place and have a limited budget then this is also a good option. But, the problem with this is that Monaco is not experienced by staying at this hotel because it is not in its heart. Monaco is about glitz and glamor and the good life, this hotel has nothing of this sort. You don't feel as though you are anywhere different or unique. The rooms are larger than those found in Paris for example but they are poorly lit, smell of cigarettes, have hard floors and a lack of character. The staff at this hotel were superficial in their caring for their guests and lacked in friendliness. If you want to experience Monaco then open up your wallet and be prepared to shell out over $300 per night. This hotel is not terrible, but for me it wasn't at all acceptable to earn a return visit.

“Great hotel for an affordable price”

5/5 found this review helpful

I was travelling by myself in Monaco and needed a place to stay for the night. As a single woman i was hesitant to stay someplace by myself but it turned out to be a great experience. This hotel is close to everything in monaco (bus stops, trains, etc). hotel staff spoke english and room was very clean. While its not directly in Monaco if you walk down the street a bit you are in Monaco. Great place if you are not planning on spending a lot of time in the room.
