The hotel is very homey so it is perfect for rest, very relaxed. The room is clean. The receptionist is friendly. The price is also worth it. Once a recommendation for planning trips in Canberra.

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.

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.

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.

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.
