劉TW整體來說，住宿的便利性和整潔度都很令人滿意，算是這次檳城旅行中不錯的住宿選擇。
這次入住檳城的住宿，整體感受很不錯！最滿意的是住宿位置很方便，周邊生活機能完善，不管是外出吃飯、逛街或前往景點都很便利，對自由行來說非常加分。
房間整體也維持得很乾淨，入住時讓人覺得很舒服，基本的住宿需求都有照顧到，住起來很安心。旅遊一整天回來後，能有一個乾淨舒適的空間休息，整體住宿體驗很好。
比較可惜的是房間可以放行李的空間偏小，如果帶比較大的行李箱，整理和拿取東西時會稍微有點不方便。如果能有更多收納或置放行李的空間，相信會更加理想
StephanieUnited KingdomNice hotel but not providing hand soap for guests is ridiculous!
Good location, comfortable beds
They didn’t provide hand soap. We asked 2 separate people at reception if we could have some for our room and they both stated the hotel didn’t provide hand soap. This is the most basic…

The room space is sufficient and 2 king size bed is convenient.
The shower room without door; this will make the bathroom floor wet after shower, and create Harzard and risk to your customers.

AhmedUnited Arab Emiratesلا أنصح الأشخاص اللذين لديهم أطفال بالذهاب إلى هذا الفندق يوجد لديهم رسوم إضافية في حالة طلب أي حاجة
المكان يحتاج مزيد من الخدمات
تعامل الرجل الذي في الإستقبال سيء للغاية وليش لديه إسلوب في الحوار والفندق غير مناسب لإقامة العوائل حيث لا تتوفر فيه أسرة للأطفال ويطلبون رسوم إضافية.

Questions about Forum Hotel Penang
What time is check-in and check-out at Forum Hotel Penang?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Forum Hotel Penang allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Forum Hotel Penang?
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Does Forum Hotel Penang have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Forum Hotel Penang have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Forum Hotel Penang?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Forum Hotel Penang?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
