Forest Lodge Apartments

This so called accommodation was by far the worst accommodation we’ve ever stayed in. We reluctantly stayed because we had no where else to go. From the start, the key was not available to pick up so we had to wait for someone to drop the key off and no linen/ towels were provided for 2 of the beds. When we walked in the unit was filthy, smelt of cigarette smoke, fridge was turned off and stank, there was no kettle, no cups, no cutlery and microwave was filthy. The bathroom was a bigger disaster with mould everywhere. We were not prepared to use it. Please note we’ve notified Fair Trading that this accommodation should not have been offered for use. The building is derelict and not fit for purpose. Your due diligence in offering this accommodation on your website is obviously nonexistent and it is deplorable that your organisation accept money for such a terrible product. We will never use Wotif again and will be letting everyone know of our experience. Do better!!

Very smelly. Outdated but bed was comfortable. Still waiting for a cc refund. Hard to find at night when walking from the train station. Very difficult to deal with after checking out. Keep promising to refund me but still waiting. Anyone have any advice on how to get my refund? Certainly won't me recommending this place to anyone

The establishment is elderly and can be noisy at times. The fee is relatively low and is located close to indooropilly shopping centre.

Avoid at all cost. The place is filthy, and rundown is an understatement. Mould growing on furniture, filth on walls, broken bedroom door held on with one hinge, nearly fell off. Bathroom falling apart. Just shabby. Uninhabitable and should be removed off booking sites. You could tell from even driving in as the grounds are not cared for either. I did not stay and all money was refunded. Staff even admitted the place is not suitable. Being used now for long term stays by people who can't find housing.

Room very quiet. Near to trains , buses , restaurants, shopping etc.

Nothing was likeable about this accommodation. It was filthy, dated, unsafe, rude staff. Camping in a sewer would have been better. I have so much more negative things to say about it but i just don't have enough time. Would advise anyone to avoid this place.

The apartment was basic, which is what we were expecting. We were not expecting it to be dirty. Crockery was dirty, side tables had coffee ring stains, lamps dusty. The shower screen was filthy, the bathroom mirror had splotches all over it. A sign stated customers are expected to clean up after themselves (wash dishes, empty rubbish etc) which is fine, but you need to check that these things have actually been done. Just because crockery and glasswear is in the cupboard doesn’t mean it has been cleaned. These things to be checked before a new customer stays. I expect a self-catered apartment to be clean at the beginning of the stay. We left this apartment cleaner than we found it. Do we get paid a cleaning fee? Very disappointed in the cleanliness. The furniture was ok. Beds hard, couches sagging. This was a basic hotel in a quiet street in the back of Taronga/Indooroopilly. Nice gardens. Loud kids in the pool. The property needs some TLC.

Clean but old and run-down.
