Anne
This property was fabulous value for money . it was clean and warm and comfortable and in a great location. It had everything we needed and nothing we did not need.
Stuart
Having parking in inner area is a plus
The room service lady was most helpful
The room are clean and tidy if a bit run down
The bathroom should have a warning “No chubby people” though. Clean but cramped.
Overall for the position and the price it was fine
Will stay again.

George
The rooms are well maintained and clean. There is a very good parking space.
Melissa
I have stayed here before and I like staying here because of the close proximity to all the best to see in the capital. The rooms are clean and have all you need. Plenty of FREE parking for guests which I think is an advantage. Staff are friendly and approachable. The rooms are standard but cosy and well priced. I would definitely stay again.
Arthur
You get what you pay for. Old style rooms. Tiny bathroom. Ok for one night.
Ursula
Very helpful stuff and clean rooms I was very happy with my room I am sure I will be back .So ones again thank you for making my stay comfortable.
Tim Akito
Decent room but the walls are thin and there are insects in the room.
Jill
Clean, Quiet, parking at your door on the ground floor, affordable,. Close to all sorts of restaurants, supermarkets and shops.
Angela
Booked a “Premium” apartment. There is nothing Premium about the place. Walls were dirty down low. Beds were comfortable, and space was great.
Alistair
Excellent value for money.
John
The best things about the place are the location and reasonably well priced. The room was too big and was unable to heat it properly.
Joanne
Apartment clean everything you need
It’s very cold in Canberra so we used air con and electric blanket
Need heater in bathroom and didn’t like shower head

Matt
Property is a bit tired and could do with a bit of a freshen up, that aside, bed was comfy, bathroom a little on the cramped side but immaculately clean.
There is an onsite restaurant (that only does takeaway) and guest laundry ($5 load) and easy walk to Manuka where there are loads of places to eat and a Coles to grab any nessecities

Vincent
Excellent all round. Management was exceptional.
John
Comfortable basic motel in Forrest. Clean, comfortable bed, well located just 10 minutes walk to Manuka and restaurants. Supplied some crockery and cutlery which was useful.
Ardouin
We had a wonderful stay, everything was easy; access, parking, facilities. My mother has limited mobility and we found it easy to navigate to and from the apartment, as well as inside. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Canberra
Kaye
Excellent room and parking consider excellent value for Canberra
Marianna
Definitely will return to Forest Apartments very clean parking for everyone every day. Housekeeping is done including the cost of your stay.
The cleaners were so clean taking towels and giving new ones and also more coffee teabags and milk. I highly would recommend. Staying here it is very close to Canberra Circle. You just need to stay for at least a week to see what camera has one offer we stage because we watched an AFL game and Manuka Oval was only seven minutes from where we stayed beautiful time of year. The trees are so pretty photography in this area is beautiful. Thanks for having us and I will definitely be coming back not to mention that the price for the stay is affordable.

Elaine
The property was very convenient to all sightseeing.
Michelle
Easy parking. Clean
Wayne
Forrest apartments were very handy to key things like Parliament House and the National Gallery. It was relatively close to Manuka shops and restaurants which had lots of options. Parking was very convenient. Our ground floor unit in Blandford Court was ideal for us including my disabled brother.
Janice
The shower has no pressure all the rest was ok.
Patrick
Located in a really quiet environment, a quick walk to all amenities. Bus stop to Civic accross the street.
Pamela
Convenient, clean and close to Manuka shopping village and local bus stops. If you are feeling energetic it is a nice walk to the Art Galleries and Parliament House.
Phillip
Exceptional value and close to Manuka if you are there for a sporting event. Clean tidy and warm.

Great location, clean and tidy. Very comfortable beds
Julie
Nice stay. Close to everything
Craig
Parking was close by and we were under cover. Kitchen was well stocked, but there were a few broken or missing items. Plenty of plates and bowls, but just enough knives and forks. Water pressure was fantastic! Beds were very firm. Sofa was comfortable. The 2 bedroom apartment size was very comfortable for the three of us.
Roger
Being situated so close to the centre and within walking distance of Manuka means this is a great place to stay. Rooms are adequate and the area is excellent.
They don't have an on-site restaurant so you'll need to walk 10 minutes to the myriad of eateries in Manuka.
I'll stay here again.

This is no “hotel” but a motel/motor inn.
Nice enough and ok given the price per night. Next time I’ll pay a bit more to get better quality.

Michele
Very clean, spacious and comfortable apartment with plenty of parking right near building. AC was cold, full size fridge, and stocked kitchen was great. Within easy walking distance to restaurants/shops and parliament. Neighborhood was quiet and safe. We enjoyed our stay, highly recommended!
Ian
Great staff very clean good parking
Brett
It was great for the price.
Adam
Highly recommended in all respects: good location, easy check-in, well-furnished and spacious apartment (it helped that I got a free upgrade to an executive apartment).
Patricia
In a good quiet location, nice grounds with plenty of free parking. The apartment was well equipped but it would have been nice to have two dinner plates the same size. The standard apartment we were in requires repainting.
Staff friendly. We would stay here again but would probably upgrade to an executive apartment.

The room was not clean, the linen was smelly, the staff was not helpful. We booked accommodation for 4 people for 3 nights, I went to reception and told them the linen was smelly, the staff gave me new linen and told me to change it. Everyday we have to ask reception for toilet paper. It is first time staying at Forest Hotel and Apartment and last time too. Will nerves come back here. Would not recommend for anybody to stay here.
Lisa
The apartment was very clean. Situated in a good area and felt safe. Good parking, quiet location. Building is old but parts have been updated. Looks like they are in the process of updating some things. Reasonable price. Would stay again.
Charlene
Parking was easy and secure. Location was good. The facilities were minimal and furnishings aged. The lighting was not good with kitchen, dining and lounge lights all on one switch. All on, or none.
Rae
The apartments were exceptional e.g. attention to detail quality appliances and facilities. The carpark is well lit at night ensuring vehicle safety. Comfy bed and fluffy towels, would have no hesitation in recommending these apartments, close to Manuka.
Michelle
Helpful staff, good value for money, conveniently located
Jessie
Location is fantastic. Convenient access to city without any traffic noise. The apartment was roomy and well equipped.
Alistair
Adequate motel-style accommodation
Jason
Have stayed here on a few occasions, and have always had a great experience - however this time the room I was given (#16, which ironically has been the same room on at least 2 previous occasions) was riddled with small flying insects, No idea how they got in, (the door was only opened to enter and exit, not left open and the windows were all shut) but there were everywhere and attracted to the lights. There were hundreds and hundreds of them and the only way I could keep them out of the living area was to turn off all the lights and just leave the bathroom light on all night..
Otherwise, Comfy bed as always, AWESOME WiFi speeds 400+ Upload and 800+ Download), Good shower water pressure ( although shower head was very loose and leaked badly, but I repaired it with a spanner - Good as new.. Good sized towels too which makes a HUGE difference...

Andrew
Good central position in Canberra. Fully equipped kitchen. Comfortable. Good room layout. Adequate parking. Could be improved by including a coffee table. The HDMI cable was missing from the DVD player to the TV, so it could not be used. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.
Alfred
This was a weekend away and the apartment was exactly what we wanted.
Katherine
Central to everything. Very clean and staff very helpful.
HAOYANG

Good value for a capital city hotel
Rob
This is a motel, not a hotel. The photos on the property's listing don't accurately represent the actual property.
It is generally clean but I found a couple of long hairs in my bed, and the grout on the shower floor is dirty or discolored, and the shelf in the bathroom was loose, causing items to slide off.
The air conditioning unit smells when first switched on.
I won't stay here again.

We had a lovely two day stay. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment was clean and easy accessible downstairs for my elderly Mum with a walking stick. The only thing I would suggest would be a mop. The water from shower ran out onto the floor even with a dreain in front.A mop would of been handy to dry the floor
Keitha
Perfect location for our short stay to see both Parliament Houses and the War Memorial. Restaurants nearby and pleasant tree lined avenues, a lovely place.
Fiona
Have stayed here before so happy to stay here again. Some fittings in the bathroom fell off - such as taps, toilet roll holder part etc - and we had to put them back on, but besides that, we were happy with our stay there.
Well-equipped apartment in nice location. Coles not too far away. (Walking to the Coles was a pleasant walk, as well as quick drive.) I like the area. My husband was competing at the National Master's Championships. Not the closest location from Forrest Hotel and Apartments, but as I liked the apartments, we were happy to drive each day to that, and the War Memorial etc.

Julie-Ann
The price was right, the location was convenient, the room was clean and comfortable.
Not sure if all rooms are the same, but ours would love a bit of a do-over! Apart from that, stay was good.

Old and tired. Lights that would that were so bright they would inflict third degree burns. I recommend that you were welding goggles if you stay here. Other than than GREAT location.

Santosh Kumar
Toilet and shower are very narrow.

Small room with double bed, had requested twin beds and said they did not have any available, another 2 girls looked at her computer and were discussing. she then said we could have an apartment which was expensive.

Friendly check-in staff. Adequate room with comfortable bedding and blockout curtains. Addition of a microwave would be useful along with updated bathroom, tea and coffee making area. Good discount provided by Wotif.

Clean once we managed to get the key into the lock.
Bedcover, worn with some holes in it.
Good shower.
Staff very nice, left our key with pleasant lady as we left earlier than planned.
Photo of hotel misleading, not so much grass in front!

Lovely staff, great location, excellent value for money
Martin
Whilst the room was in reasonable condition, there were indicators of wear & tear in the bathroom and main area.
This would not stop me staying here again but it’s something to be aware of.
The staff interactions in reception and restaurant were very professional.

Staff was extremely helpful
Bruce
The apartment was good size and space ! Great for the most part , let’s it’s self down in the details , electricians nightmare , light on the stairs timer non functional , light never goes out ! Lights in the kitchen , living room , dinning room are all on one switch , are a horrible color ( 5000k ) and you could do surgery by them but you can’t watch tv while someone is cooking ! The tv is out of the ark , I think it’s a plasma . The apt I was in 118 has a problem with outside security lighting , needs true blackout curtains because you can’t block the outside lighting , the apartment section of the complex has no amenities.
Generally it’s good just lacks the touches 2.5 stars
