The one bed apartment was a bit dated. The exhaust fan in the bathroom was totally inadequate. There was a major problem with beetles at the entry and in the apartment. They came in under and through the side of the front door.
We had limited interaction with staff although we were directed to Manuka to find eating establishments. It was quiet, which is always a bonus.

Place was nicely renovated but housekeeping was terrible. Crumbs on kitchen top and sofa. Ants on kitchen counter. Left over water in kettle. And masses of HAIR in the shower!! It’s a shame cos the place was nice and spacious but cleanliness zero.

Quiet friendly affordable inner south stay
The apartments section of Forrest hotel and apartments has become my preferred accommodation in CBR. Loved the quiet location and proximity to key places in the inner south - Manuka, Kingston and the lake.

Enjoyed a great stay in a 1br serviced apartment. Staff very friendly and helped guide me to where my apartment was located. Apartment contained a massive recent model flat screen TV and I was able to connect my laptop to stream content as well as all the local free to air TV as needed.
Kitchen well equipped and couch very comfortable. Apartment lovely and clean and in a very quiet neighbourhood. Top marks all around.

The hotel room was clean and the staff were very nice. The free Wifi is pretty quick as qell. However, there is a door that connects to the next room that can not be locked. I've never felt so unsafe. The hotel also has a restaurant that you can not eat at you can only get eoom service or T/A. There is also a fee if you want to eat.
