Top Forrest Hotel Reviews

The Sebel Canberra Civic

10/10 Excellent

"Canberra is an expensive town. This hotel is often the best value. Very central. No frills. The right room can be very spacious."

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."
