Top Forrest Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Canberra by IHG

8/10 Good

"we had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and I'd rate the cleanliness 4/5. The location was convenient within walking distance of plenty of shops and restaurants, making it easy to explore the area. The breakfast buffet was a little disappointing. there weren't many options available, so there's definitely room for improvement. The restaurant, however, was excellent. The menu offered a great selection of dishes, and the desserts and cocktails were great!"

Forrest Hotel and Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"My preferred accommodation in Canberra is one of the self contained apartments in the Forrest hotel and apartments complex. The staff are always very friendly and helpful and my last few visits I've been able to request a specific room if it's available. The apartments are spacious, clean and quiet and the complex itself is a very short <10 minute walk to the local Manuka cafe and shopping district where there are many options for dining out or grabbing a quick snack. There's also a Coles supermarket in Manuka if you prefer to self-cater and buy your own food. Will definitely stay here again. Full marks. Ian from Sydney."

Avenue Hotel Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"The Avenue is situated in a very central location to the centre of town and within 10 kms to the major attractions. The hotel staff are very helpful and the cleanliness is of a very high standard. Breakfast is five star and the gym is we well equipped. Beds are comfortable and the rooms quiet and private."
