This hotel is an oasis of calm just off the mayhem on the main street of Pompeii. After the visit to the ruins (which up to 4 million visitors a year go) you enter a quiet orange tree filled garden where you can take meals which are all freshly prepared with the scent of Jasmine in the background. Friendly and helpful staff and the hotel arranged a private guide just for us not part of a group who showed us much more detail than the bigger groups could possibly take in. On the main street outside there were restaurants of all kinds but we ate in and it was very similar in prices to those outside.

No adverse comments from me

A lovely modern room on the second floor with a balcony overlooking the garden. It was lovely to have to sun on the balcony in the morning. The location is excellent and the garden is an oasis of calm.

This was our third stay in the Hotel Forum and, this time, we found the reception staff rather disinterested. We were pointed to where we could stow our bags on arrival but there was no support offered so it was lucky I knew where the room was (it's behind 2 doors so not immediately obvious). Equally, on previous visits we have always been greeted with a cheery hello as we passed through reception but this time the receptionists barely lifted their heads from their computers. Lastly, on check-out, again, there seemed to a lack of interest - on moving our bags to the stowage room, there was a man in the way up a ladder but even though there were 3 receptionists present I was left to navigate this and alert them to the problem.

Fantastic location for a Pompeii hotel, not in front of the main gaite but a 10 minute walk, and right in front of the secondary entrance. The wonderful cortile access brings the noise down a few notches, so that when you enter the hotel you feel transported into a literal garden, which they take care of exquisitely. Updated rooms, air conditioning working perfectly, modern bathroom, a balcony and the breakfast buffett was perfect. The restaurant is good and a great option if you don't want to dine out. They provided a parking space in a very nearby parking. If I ever travel to Pompei again, this is the hotel I will be staying in.

I could find anything problematic about this hotel.

The hotel's atmosphere is magnificent!!! The scent of lemon coming from the incredible garden, the restaurant with DELICIOUS dishes prepared with the utmost care, the extremely friendly and polite staff, the Wi-Fi signal, the comfort of the bed, the temperature, the shower, the careful lighting, the spectacular and comfortable bed linen, in every little detail EVERYTHING was WONDERFUL!!! I intend to return to Pompeii because of the experience I had at the hotel. I traveled with my 12-year-old son.

The location was great, a short walk from Pompeii ruins and the train station. The hotel had lovely gardens too, a fab place to sit and have drinks after a day of sightseeing and the dinner menu was great too. The staff were super friendly and helpful.

Noisy aircon and very small and quite pricey Aperol Spritz! Please buy appropriate glasses for these! We woke up to lovely views of Vesuvius every morning, but ideally a bedroom with a garden view would have been quieter for opening the windows instead of using the aircon.

Loved the garden with all the fruit trees so peaceful. Staff is excellent attentive. Right across from the Pompeii ruins just a two minute walk. Lovely place to stay. Close to the Cathedral and town

Just one thing and it’s big—-they called us a taxi and on the way to the train station the taxi driver said there was a strike at the trains and he’d need to drive us to Naples for 60,00 even tho we had paid for train tickets. We found out the strike was for the next day. So he lied and we paid an extra 60.00. We called the hotel and they just said it wasn’t their problem. That didn’t care to do anything about it. DO NOT let them call you a taxi and pay attention to your fare!!

Lovely hotel in an ideal location for exploring the ruins of Pompeii. Central to the town but set back from the main strip with a peaceful garden. Comfortable and well maintained accommodation. Excellent breakfast served by the lovely Elena and a decent restaurant. We felt this represented very good value for money.

We felt the Reception Team were a bit disengaged and not especially helpful in advising on travel options or helping us to enjoy our 5 night stay. This was a bit disappointing; we would have given the hotel a higher rating but for this.

Loved the spacious room with comfortable bed and good aircon. The location was unbeatable for visiting Pompeii being near the Pompeii station and the amphitheatre gate. The garden was a delightful place to sit and have lunch and dinner

I think they should cut back on salt in the food as all four of us found our meals incredibly salty. They should perhaps have a pool or water feature to follow the style of the Roman houses at Pompeii and provide much needed cool comfort in the heat of Italian summer

What a lovely little hotel right near one of the gates to Pompeii and a nice walk to the main town of Pompeii too with lots of restaurants. The actual restaurant under the grape vines at the hotel was fantastic - great food and service. We had a suite overlooking the garden with massive lemon trees - it was peaceful and can't recommend it enough.

Breakfast is in the downstairs dining room. The food was everything you would expect plus amazing table of cakes - they love cake for breakfast.....

Staff were helpful and very approachable…nothing was a problem. Breakfast was a lovely experience generally continental but a good choice of breads/cakes, cooked meats, fruit juice and scrambled eggs and bacon. Our room was spacious, and had a wonderful view of Vesuvius! The location is close to an entrance to the Pompeii ruins, cafes and the piazza. The main local tourist office is next door, offering various activities, tours and cultural experiences.
