Ideal for a casual stay to a destination as on-site amenities include everything from outdoor kitchen with BBQs, Tennis Courts next door @ a reduced rate, on site dinning including room service or enjoy a walk around local Churches in amongst the Maple Trees. Manuka Dining & Shopping precinct is within walking distance and public transport incl Neuron Elec Scooters are avail close by to Zip around a very Green City. Better still bring your bikes. The Complex has everything from a Queen Standard Ensuite to every configuration you may need or upgrade your family to a apartment including European Appliances incl Washer/Dryer, Dishwasher incl Full Kitchen up to 3 Rooms including sofa bed in your lounge should you need it. Disability Parking is scattered throughout the complex incl On site Laundry to accommodate your needs. I had a wonderful stay over Xmas, The Staff go above & Beyond and I found it to be it's own community within itself. Do yourself a favour, book your next stay direct not online as every booking the Complex lose around 15%. I highly recomend Forrest Hotel & apartments. I wish the team the very best going forward.

The hotel is in a great spot near the Manuka precinct and the neighbourhood was residential so felt very safe. As I had heavy cases, the staff kindly moved me to a ground floor room. It was quite chilly in Canberra so the electric blanket was a blissful discovery. Bed even more comfortable as a result. I walked to just about everywhere in Canberra as the bus service was sketchy and you needed a special card, so I saw Lake Burley Griffin, Anzac Parade, up Mount Ainslie, to the Parliament Building and back. Everywhere fairly flat (except for the Mount of course). Manuka precinct had lots of cafes, restaurants, shops and a big supermarket (Coles) which had a great bakery department!

Nicely renovated apartment for the age of the complex. Furnishings adequate for a family and beds comfortable. Plenty of cooking utensils. Location was reason for booking as it was about 6 mins drive to our daughter in Campbell. Close to shops, cafes and restaurants. A 10min drive to ADFA. Communal BBQ area was well received by our whole party. The gardens and landscaping were a pleasant outlook. The room was clean upon arrival and very well presented. Small milks n fridge were a bonus upon arrival. Full size fridge!! Complex felt safe in the apartment blocks. Full security screens on all windows.Parking was a mix of undercover and open. Easy Access.

The room was about what I expected, based on age of the hotel. I'm pretty sure I stayed in the hotel in the 1970s, as a child. However, the bed was comfortable and the room was very clean and the TV was the right size for the room. The fridge in my room was bigger than a "bar" fridge, so I was able to keep some drinks and food cold for the next day. Perfect for an overnight stay and very well located. I'll probably stay again when I'm next in Canberra for a quick visit.

Rob

The one bedroom apartment is quite spacious and recently refurbished, much better than a standard motel room . It's ideal for a longer stay, quiet, well equipped, well maintained, clean and comfortable. The walk in shower is lovely, with excellent water pressure and shower head. The location is very quiet but only a 10 minute walk to the shops and restaurants of Manuka. No shared walls with the apartments, and upstairs is especially quiet. The wifi worked well.
