Top Canberra Hotel Reviews

Forrest Hotel and Apartments

Forrest Hotel and Apartments

10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic, budget-friendly family accommodation in Canberra! This was our second stay here, and we liked it so much we have been recommending it to family! We stayed in a two-bedroom apartment for two nights with our family of four, while friends booked a separate apartment in the Blandford complex. The middle courtyard and barbecue area were fantastic for our two families to meet up, have dinner, and enjoy the beautiful gardens. The location is excellent - quiet but central - and served as a perfect base to visit the National Museum, plus Cockington Green and the Reptile Zoo over at Gold Creek. Great prices, free parking, and wonderful amenities for families. We’ll definitely keep coming back!"
