“Affordable and clean, but basic”

Reviewed 12 June 2013

I stayed at the Forrest Hotel and Apartments on a business trip and was was not very comfortable. On the plus-side, it was very clean, the reception staff were friendly and efficient and the room had a large flat screen TV with Foxtel. However, there was the down-side, which was a much longer list. The hotel from the outside looks... More

“Perfect Quiet Location for a Canberra stay”

Reviewed 11 June 2013

Once again we find ourselves in Canberra for work and play, so the Forrest was our first thought for accommodation. The one bedroom apartment has a full kitchen, sitting room, big TV, DVD and iPod dock sound system, perfect for a weekend or longer if you can... Warm, comfortable and very, very quiet is a bonus in any city. A... More

“Very average place”

Reviewed 9 June 2013

The bed was really comfortable. Just a pity the sheets had been folded but definitely not ironed. Fairly basic motel room - but this was expected of a 3 and a half star place. I had a ground floor room, and could hear people walking around in the room above me - one of the problems of having a mainly... More

“Just O.K”

Reviewed 28 May 2013

I stayed 3 days during the business trip. If you're looking for somewhere quiet, I wouldn't recommend this place. I often woke up during the night because of the noise from outside. However the restaurant at the hotel was very nice. I tried Salmon steak and Scotch fillet, and they both were very tasty.

I got a great rate of $99 per night, so I was wondering what the quality would be like. I was actually pleasantly surprised, it was very clean and has quite a quaint suburban feel. I asked for a room with lots of natural light & I was given a room at the front overlooking the park, which was indeed... More

Stayed in Canberra for 3 nights. The Forest apartments was a good place to stay. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment and this was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. Manuka is close to the city attractions. There is a nice park opposite, tennis courts next door and shops close by. Overall had a great stay in Canberra.

“It's a motel not a hotel.”

Reviewed 23 April 2013

The location was perfect. Away from the main road. This 'hotel' is part of the Golden Chain group. The hotel part is two levels with balconies facing the car park. I thought that would classify it as a motel. The room was small but the bed was comfortable. If you want to sleep in, forget it. The coaches had the... More
