Dependably good
Continental Forum hotels, like this one in Constanta, never disappoint as they are generously-spaced properties, with a consistent standard of friendly service and good breakfast. I enjoyed the spacious room, with tea/coffee (J. Meinl), stocked minibar, free bottled water, individual toiletries aplenty, and very important: many plugs. The bed was comfortable, and the AC worked and was manually programable. Their breakfasts are dependable with something savory (sandwich ingredients and ommelette / sausage), something sweet (pastries, cereal) and something fruity (fresh and compote) in plentiful quantities in a very sunny hall. Overall I expected a cozy, friendly and easy stay with everything provided and got exactly that!

I do not like leaving bad reviews but this property was exceptionally unpleasant. The air conditioning did not work in my room at all. The rooms look like they were last updated in the 1990’s and the shower smelled like an open pit toilet. The silver lining was the the staff at hotel I interacted with. They were friendly, helpful, and genuinely wanted you to have a good experience. Based on the amazing location, if the owners updated the hotel to modern standards, this could be a 4 even a 5 star hotel. In its current state I would say this is 2.5 star hotel.

Dear Mr Fawad,Thank you for choosing Continental Forum Constanta. We're glad that you enjoyed the amazing location and our friendly staff.We are very sorry to see that you prefer to throw your negative impression in the public space, damaging our image, instead of announcing the staff during your stay who could fix it immediately.We remind that you put the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door so the maid couldn't clean the room or sanitize the bathroom for removing that smell you complained about. The AC issue would be fix it on the spot if you only announced it.The hotel was fully renovated in 2021, the deluxe rooms benefiting from new quality furniture and modern equipment according with up to date hotel standards. We are sorry it's not at your taste but if this representing so much to you we recommend for the future to see the photo of the room before making any reservation.Best regards,

Short but nice trip to Constanta
We enjoyed our stay, and even if the place is not a real 4 star hotel, the staff was really great, all the people we’ve interact with were really helpful. Also, the food was good, and we had breakfast but also lunch in there. We had a lot of options for food for kids as well, so all in all a pleasant experience.

An average hotel overpriced
Feels a bit like a motel 6. Room is ok—no outlets next to bed, shower not really clean, bath towels threadbare, no toiletries like shampoo-just body soap in shower. The room had space and had a lovely view of Black Sea. Woman who checked us in was nice but we had to wait for some time as they was only one person at reception. One elevator was not working The area surrounding hotel was not that great.

Hotel near to tourist attractions in Old Constanta
Hotel is in a good location. Less than 10 minute walk to the beach, many dining options, Ovid Square and several historical sites. Hotel looks like it has been recently remodeled, however there were a few rough edges on the room - mainly one spot on the baseboard and on the bathroom door, but nothing that affected our enjoyment of the room . Room had a fridge and hair dryer. Cleanliness and customer service were both good. Overall we had a nice view of the Black Sea from our room for a good price.

Great value for money
This is a very good hotel located very close to Constanta beach and the old town. Compared to other hotels I’ve stayed in in the area, this is hard to beat. All staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly and the hotel is very clean and modern. It follows the Ibis trend of quality well. The shower was the best I’d had in a while in Romania although it did change temperature quite drastically sometimes but nowhere near as often as the other hotels. If you don’t know Constanta then note that this hotel is not in the Mamaia resort town (which is much further up along the coast). You would want to stay in this hotel if you want a decent, friendly, modern, clean place to stay that is close to the beach, old town, bars and restaurants, and is well connected to the rest of Constanta. There is an Avis rental car desk in the foyer and there’s also a restaurant that had a menu to cater for all. There are other facilities that I didn’t have time to explore. For the price, I cannot complain - the value for money is excellent, so overall I would recommend this hotel and I would stay here again.

No Problems
The staff was freindly easily understood the needsof myselt and my traveling companion. We got the room we asked for and the hotel was quiet enough to sleep easily in, even thouhg there was a nightclub and a large crowd in the town for holiday. All amenites were provided, and kept up to a good standard, although the glasses were not as clean as I would have hoped. The fridge and safe were all like any 'four' star hotel, which was a nice surprise, and possibly even cleaner. Beds were very comfortable. Linens were clean in the bath as well. Wi-fi worked great, and no problems with ant of the rooms features.

Good return for your buck!
Well there is always enough rolm to complain, bit from the perspective of a world traveler, and former Hilton Hotels Manager in North America, definitely a good return on investment. 32$/night in low season with no breakfast included, which is 8 lei or about 4$. A decent price for the amenities and cleanliness, situated in the old part of Constanta and close to many amenities. one couldn't get such deal in quite a few other cities (Seattle, New York, Miami, Milano, Marseille, Frankfurt/Main). Nice stuff, helpful, good breakfast, english speaking, right above the downtown beach. I would definitely consider if ever will come back.
