Pros: The room and bathroom were large. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is well located (close to several bus stops, subway and Termini train station).

Pros: This hotel is ideally located within walking distance of all that's worth seeing in Rome. It's also just a few minutes walk from the nearest metro for easy access to the Vatican.The staff, without exception, were extremely knowledgable and helpful. The room was very satisfactory, very quiet, with very comfortable beds. If I was returning to Rome I would definitely book this hotel again. I believe it's a two star but if hotels were rated on the basis of the effort that's put into the comfort of guests, the staff hospitality and the upkeep of the accommodation, it would achieve a greater rating than this.Unfortunately hotel ratings don't capture such merits.

Pros: Nice hotel on the first floor of an older building. Friendly reception. Good price.

Pros: Superb location, RIGHT next to The Forum, just blocks from The Colosseum and adjacent to several restaurants. Standard rooms run a bit small, as all classic European hotels do, but was clean n cozy and felt like home in no time. Top floor restaurant was good and panoramic view was excellent. The true gem at this hotel, however, was the amazing staff, who were all pleasant and helpful and genuinely offered hospitality every single time I came into contact with any of them. Definitely a smaller, boutique style property but the excellent staff n superb location make Hotel Forum top notch. Recommended. Would stay again.

Pros: Both the maître d'hôtel and the bar manager were incredibly helpful and friendly. Great views of part of the Forum from the roof terrace. There is also a terrace on the 2nd floor which was always completely empty on my visit; great for some peace and quiet after the tourist packed streets. The location is fantastic if you want both the Colosseum and Forum on your door step.

Pros: Everything we expected we got and then some. Food is excellent. The roof top bar was a delight at sunset. The staff was more than helpful in every way. Wish I could remember their names, they're first class. Location is great.

Pros: A good view of Roman Forum from the room. A good restaurant and service. Breakfast can be a little bit better but fresh orange juice was nice.

Pros: A 5 minute walk from the train station. It seems that the room was recently remodeled - everything was new and modern. As all European hotels, the room wasn't very big, but there was a small desk. Very modern and clean bathroom. Free breakfast. Great value!

Pros: The excellent possibility to reach the most beautiful places of Rome on foot, good breakfast and very friendly staff.

Pros: The staff were excellent and were full of useful information, we were supplied with a map on checking in, which proved invaluable. The hotel has an excellent location, and apart from the Vatican, which was quite a walk...(we were told about public transport, so it was our choice)!, all sites of interest were in very close proximity. Our room was spotless on arrival, and maintained in the same manner throughout our stay. Many excellent eateries amoung the web of cobbled streets which surround the hotel, and whilst the hotel does not actively promote any individual restaurants, they do give very good advice on how to avoid the tourist "rip off" traders. I would certainly recomend the Grifo to people I like !

Pros: $self.pros

Pros: The staff were very helpful, and friendly. Our accomodations were lovely. The hotel is centrally located and there is a bus stop across the street, with the Metro just down the street. We were very pleased.
