"First time to Canberra and to Forrest Hotel, we will be back!"


"Great location central to everything...Manuka for breakfast was only four blocks away and few mins drive in any direction to sights, buildings,malls and food. Room had plenty of space and amenities. Staff were warm and helpful and restaurant though expensive for amount of food received made exceptional salt and pepper squid...best I've had in ages."


"Will stay again. Staff were welcoming and efficient. Stayed in 2 bedroom apartment and it was clean, modern and comfortable. Location was central to everywhere I needed to go in Canberra."

"Will be back."

"Excellent Value!"

"So happy and satisfied!"
