The hotel is very close to the Capitol and can be reached on foot. The room is clean and tidy, with complete facilities, including an oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine with dryer and a complete set of kitchenware, so you can cook your own food.

The room is not big but the facilities are quite complete. There are plenty of parking spaces. Overall it is good. It is quite convenient to drive there. There is an electric blanket on the bed, so you don't need to turn on the air conditioner. Check-out is required at 10 am, which is a bit early.

Forrest Hotel and Apartments is located very close to Parliament House and the parliamentary triangle, so it's a great base for sightseeing in Canberra.
It is a few blocks from the Manuka shopping centre, with a variety of cafes and restaurants, open early to late.
