    Clean, recently renovated. Sauna in perfect condition. Very friendly staff. What's not to like!

    A pleasant change to have breakfast served and not just left out as a buffet. Despite mainly being a ‘town for those in transit’ the Forni still had a vibe from the locals and from those there to experience the historic mountain passes.

    It is with heavy heart that I have to resort to this means by way of complaint against the hotel and Booking.com….. I was overcharged by some 30 odd CHf for my stay! The hotel have eventually accepted their mistake after correspondence with them...

    Hotel Forni is close to the train station and was an ideal base for our hike. It was clean, staff were friendly and breakfast was good. I have come here before and can recommend it.

    Location was excellent - just opposite the train station - as we were on foot. Breakfast was very good. Complimentary coffee in the rooms very welcome. Staff very helpful. Didn’t have a Swiss adaptor for plug but they gave me one.
