The property is great in the centre of a small town. Number of eating and drinking places close by. HOWEVER there is no front desk and arrangements have to be made to check in. There's a buzzer at the door but nobody answers. The assumption is that everyone has a working cell phone to call the owners who live next door and get someone to come and check you in. We had to take our phone off "airplane mode" which cost us 8 Euros. Not good. We don't use Hostals as a rule and this won't change that practice.

Only one hand towel was in the room, we had to request towels for the shower. There was a peculiar smell when we entered the hotel. No breakfast was available within a half mile of the hotel. We did not know about the blinds and we suffered from the street lights keeping us awake.

Good base for Cordba and mountains
Villa del Rio is a good base for exploring both Cordoba and the nearby natural parks. Hostal Forum is a good basic hotel - obviously you don't expect luxury at these prices but it was clean, comfortable and convenient and the owners were friendly and helpful.Two minor negative points - the wifi was very unreliable, and an unpleasant agricultural smell occasionally engulfs the whole surrounding area.

Clean and Comfy stay - very reasonable price!
I have been to the Forum 3 or 4 times, and slept comfortably. I don't get all the negative reviews. OK, the bathroom IS small, but the rooms are good-sized, the beds and atmosphere very restful. If you're really bothered by the fact that it once was a hospital, is run by unabashed Christians & doesn't allow drinking or smoking, this is the wrong place for you. If not, well, it's just a nice place. Electronic locks provide extra security, breakfast was good though not extravagant - everything you need. My husband is going to be very disappointed that it doesn't seem to be available for New Year's Eve. Sold out, I guess. So it looks like more people want a clean & clean-cut place than a grubby party hotel after all - lots of those left! This one is truly nice.

I have stayed in different hotels and this one is the worst. It felt like an asylum when I entered and the room was like a jail cell. the shower was literally a shoe box. You couldn't lift your arms and do a turn with out hitting the walls. the smell was of a hospital stale and dingy.

Great choice for the money.
I stay at the Forum when I come to Ft Lauderdale on business. It's a clean, safe, well-maintained, no-frills hotel that provides a good nights sleep, clean atmosphere and a continental breakfast the next morning.

Nice Trip
I read the previous review and disagree completely. The hotel may be in a remodeled hospital, yet it is clean and the staff friendly. I have stayed at this hotel twice and my only complaint is the temperature. The individual room temperature cannot be increased, if you decide to stay here, request an extra blanket. Disregard the previous review. The religious nature of the hotel is not forced on the visitors. No one ever spoke of religion or focred their opinions on us when we stayed there. The staff is friendly and helpful. I will stay there again without question.

This hotel made me feel a little uncomfortable
Although the hotel is nice,since it appeared to be a converted senior living location it was uncomfortable. Great idea to help troubled individuals but having stipilation on beverages used at the location made it less desirable

A clean bed for the night
This lodging falls under the heading of, 'you get what you pay for', so please realize that this is not a 4-star hotel chain. What it is, is a clean building, conveniently located off of Dixie Highway in Pompano Beach, Florida, for a rate that is less than 1/3rd of anyplace else you will find in the area. Why is it so inexpensive? Because you are paying for a clean room and a warm bed without any frills or amenities. You won't get turndown service, there won't be a chocolate on your pillow, etc. The Forum was formerly a hospital that was renovated and changed into a hotel which caters to ministries of various denominations and beliefs. As a result there is a strict policy on no alcohol on the premises, but I found they did not proselytize, and it was not as uncomfortable for me (as an athiest) as I worried it might be. All in all, if you want a pool, fancy pillows, and posh surroundings, then head for one of the hotel chains or one of the motels on the beach. If your main goal is to save money while still getting a good night's rest, then this is the place for you.
