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.

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.
