Regular base for my Canberra escapes
Great quiet location. Less than 10 minutes easy stroll to the cafes and shops of Manuka. Staff always friendly and welcoming. I choose to stay in the serviced apartment section of the accommodation. Id describe it as "cheap and cheerful". The apartment has everything I need for a comfortable stay. Plenty of unallocated parking located around the various apartments. I use this as my regular place to stay when I travel to Canberra several times a year for short escapes from Sydney.

Ok for a night apart from noisy plumbing
Overnight stay. Welcomed nicely on arrival. Room a little dated but reasonably well maintained and it was very clean. Comfy bed and clean sheets with good aircon. Bathroom extractor fan was malfunctioning and made strange noises when switched on then clearly the safety function cut in and the fan cut off. The most annoying thing was the extremely loud noises coming from the plumbing when the neighbours used their water which was obviously not the neighbours fault.

6/10 Good

The one bed apartment was a bit dated. The exhaust fan in the bathroom was totally inadequate. There was a major problem with beetles at the entry and in the apartment. They came in under and through the side of the front door. We had limited interaction with staff although we were directed to Manuka to find eating establishments. It was quiet, which is always a bonus.

Place was nicely renovated but housekeeping was terrible. Crumbs on kitchen top and sofa. Ants on kitchen counter. Left over water in kettle. And masses of HAIR in the shower!! It’s a shame cos the place was nice and spacious but cleanliness zero.

Quiet friendly affordable inner south stay
The apartments section of Forrest hotel and apartments has become my preferred accommodation in CBR. Loved the quiet location and proximity to key places in the inner south - Manuka, Kingston and the lake.
