Top Forrest Hotel Reviews

A by Adina Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"Location was excellent, staff were great. Clear communication and space was just right."

Deco Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It's an apartment hotel with laundry in each rooms, very helpful if you stay a longer time. Room is very clean, staff is very friendly and the breakfast is great. The unit is super spacious. To our experience, this one is better than Sheraton and Marriott, probably the best we ever lived. And, we do international travel a lot, more than 3 months per year!"

Pavilion on Northbourne

8/10 Good

"Stayed 3 nights in a one bedroom serviced apartment, with free wi-fi and smart tvs. It was clean, if a bit tired - the main carpet needed shampooing. The location was convenient, with free secure parking and a light rail stop nearby. Staff were friendly and responsive. Amenities were functional, with a gymnasium, outdoor pool and coin operated laundry. The Atrium restaurant and bar provided a relaxing space for drinks, snacks or a meal. I would have preferred to be able to order individual breakfast items rather than a full or continental buffet. I would definitely stay at The Pavillion when next in Canberra."

Canberra Accommodation Centre

8/10 Good

"Here’s a polished version of your review: The staff were very cooperative and friendly, and the kitchen facilities were excellent. However, the rooms were quite small. I booked two rooms for four adults. In my room, I tried to turn off the heating, but I couldn’t stop it, so I had to open the fan instead. In the other room, the heating was not working. Overall, despite these minor issues, I had a good experience and would be happy with my stay."
