This hotel is located right off the main square, so it is very convenient, and it also has a good restaurant.

First time in Europe and the hotel had everything I needed. Food is amazing, everything is walking distance, and it's a very small town. There's plenty to see and enjoy European history. Only two items that are missing but I'm assuming this is a European thing, no mini fridge or microwave in the room. Not a big deal.

A reggeli választéka és körülményei 20-30 évvel ezelőtti időket idézte. Egy kicsit könnyedebben kellene a vendégeket kezelni.

Super Stadthotel
Ein zentral gelegenes Stadthotel. Die Zimmer sind klein und zweckmäßig. Alles funktioniert. Unser Zimmer war ruhig, Betten einwenig schmal. Parken geht im Hof. Das Frühstück war sehr gut und der Kaffee auch.

Barátokkal töltöttünk pár napot a Fórum Hotelben. Kitűnő helyen van, nagyon kedves dolgozókkal, szép, kényelmes szobákkal. A reggeli bőséges es finom, a félpanziós vacsora is minden igényt kielégít. Ajánlom mindenkinek a szállodát, nem fog csalódni!

Das Personal war wirklich zuvorkommend und nett. Zwei Sachen haben mich gestört:
1. Die eine Nacht hatte ich einen Parkplatz zugewiesen bekommen. Von Kosten hat niemand gesprochen. Die zweite Nacht hat man mir gesagt, dass der Parkplatz HUF 1'000.- kostet.....
2. Ich war am Wochenende im Hotel Die ganze Nacht war Party auf der Strasse ( bis 04:30 ). ich habe das Personal darauf angesprochen. Sie haben mir erklärt, dass dies unüblich ist. Nun, 2 Nächte hintereinander war mir zu viel. Ich versehe eigentlich nicht, warum in einer Wohnstrasse so eine Grönelei von besoffenen überhaupt möglich ist. Ich bin kein Freund von polizeiliche Massnahmen. In einem solchen fall wäre es aber richtig Ordnung zu schaffen. Ich war übrigens nicht der einzige Gast, der den Lärm störend empfand.

Bardzo czysty hotel w samym centrum miasta.
Bardzo ładne i zadbane pokoje, wygodne łózko, wszystko czyste i bez zarzutu. W pokojach brak czajnika czy małej lodowki. Nie ma możliwości przygotowania sobie samemu herbaty/kawy.
Dość spory problem z komunikacją bo obsługa mówi słabo po angielsku.
Śniadanie smaczne i różnorodne (coś na cieplo plus zimne dodatki - wędliny, sery, warzywa, płatki), herbata/kawa do śniadania zamawiana o kelnera.

central location, best kitchen in town
great place. very high niveau of cooking and serving at the restaurant (i believe it was a restaurant first, and then opened as a hotel too).
the staff was very friendly and attentive and the room was an actual studio, fully equipped and very clean.

Szuper szálláshely Szombathelyen
Volt szerencsém itt tölteni egy hetet, s a tapasztalataim alapján minden egyes nap ugyanazt a kiváló minőséget nyújtották. A profi személyzet kedves, figyelmes, segítőkész úgy, hogy észre sem veszed, csak a végeredményt. Mindig kedvesek, mosolyognak a legnagyobb csúcsidőben is. Köszönet érte! Az ágyak annyira kényelmesek, hogy reggel legszívesebben aludnál még egy adagot. A szobák mindig tiszták és a fürdőszoba is tökéletes. A szoba eleinte kicsinek tűnhet, de bőven elég. Mindenre van elég hely. Praktikus és széfet is tartalmaz. A felszereltség is nagyon vendégbarát, a legutolsó konnektor és kapcsoló is a lehető legkényelmesebb helyen van.
Ezeken túl nemcsak egy egyszerű hotel... A római téma és az épület története szinte a hotel teljes területén végigkísér, ezáltal különleges hangulatot is kölcsönöz. S mindezt olyan "apróságokkal" érik el, amiben rengeteg figyelmesség és komoly munka van.
Az ételek nagyon finomak, frissek és óriási adagok. A reggeli egyszerű, de számomra elég változatos volt.
Az elhelyezkedéséből adódóan hétvégén a környékbeli szórakozóhelyek miatt tényleg lehet hangos, de zárt ablak mellett semmit sem hallani belőle, egyáltalán nem zavaró.
A parkolók száma elég alacsony, de mégis minden nap sikerült ott parkolnom.
Összefoglalva: Ha Szombathelyen szállsz meg, bátran válaszd őket, mert igényesek, kedvesek, figyelmesek és nagyon profik.
