Rooms
Guests often highlighted the cleanliness of the rooms with daily cleaning and fresh towels enhancing the stay. However, the bathrooms are frequently described as extremely small and sometimes uncomfortable with issues such as poor ventilation and a lack of soundproofing being mentioned. Some rooms lacked natural light and were situated near noisy streets or internal courtyards, which may affect the overall comfort. The central location of the hotel is another significant advantage, being close to shops and cafes, making it convenient for exploring the area.
While the self-check-in process and reliable WiFi were appreciated, the lack of elevators and occasional late room service were noted as inconveniences. Overall, Forum Tarragona offers a practical and clean lodging option in a prime location, albeit with very compact living spaces that are best suited for brief stays.
Beds
While comfort was a common theme, feedback on mattress quality varied. Several guests experienced beds as very comfortable, noting good mattresses and bedding. However, some found the softness of some mattresses excessive, leading to discomfort. Criticism was often directed toward old, deformed or sunken mattresses with some beds described as small or narrow, reducing the sleep quality.
Despite the mixed experiences, the positive remarks about clean and comfortable beds suggest a generally satisfactory sleep environment for many guests.
Cleanliness
The hotel also benefits from a central location, which guests find convenient and beneficial, complementing its high standard of cleanliness. Although there are a few isolated incidents where guests experienced some cleaning oversights, these are exceptions to what is widely reported as an exemplary cleaning service. Overall, the combination of meticulous cleaning routines and a strategic location makes Forum Tarragona a well-regarded option for travelers.
Staff
A significant drawback, however, is the absence of on-site staff. The hotel relies heavily on an automated check-in system, which some guests found challenging and impersonal. Many reviews mention difficulties in reaching staff with no one present to greet or assist upon arrival. This lack of personal contact and assistance can lead to frustrations during check-in with several guests pointing out poor communication and the inability to resolve urgent issues promptly.
For those who did manage to interact with the staff, experiences were mixed. While virtual support and occasional phone assistance were sometimes efficient, language barriers and delayed responses were common complaints. On the brighter side, guests appreciated the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff they did encounter, often highlighting their helpfulness and pleasant demeanor.
In summary, Forum Tarragona excels in cleanliness and location but falls short in providing a consistent and accessible staff presence, relying too much on automation for guest interactions.
Wi-Fi
However, not all reviews are entirely positive. Some guests reported issues with the WiFi, noting that it was sometimes unstable or didn't work well, particularly mentioning problems during check-in or lack of availability in certain rooms. Despite a few negative comments, the overall impression is that Forum Tarragona provides a dependable and efficient WiFi service, enhancing the convenience of their stay.
