Forbes Victoria Inn

Great meals in recently refurbished restaurant. Unlikely to find a better meal in Forbes. Staff very friendly and ambience relaxed and cosy. Highly recommended. Had prawn and calamari schezwan fried dish and crispy skinned chicken. Both excellent

This place was perfect for a one night stopover in Forbes. Short walk to town for restaurants, clubs, pubs and shopping. Room at the back with lake views so very quiet and comfortable. Lovely balcony with 2 chairs. Everything you need for a short stay. Room was very spacious with toiletries etc.

We were staying in Forbes to visit the Elvis Festival in nearby Parkes. Check in was fine. As soon as we walked in I noticed that the single bed had been slept in. The queen bed had fresh sheets, but the single bed sheets had not been changed and the bed had not even been made. It was dirty with food stains on the sheets. Luckily my daughter didn’t join us on this trip. The queen bed comforter had white stains on the underside of it. The mattress was hard and plastic, like sleeping on a jumping castle. The bathroom had multiple dead bugs on the floor and had a lot of mould in the shower. I’m not surprised as there was no fan in the bathroom so it was a sauna in there every time you took a shower. The toilet seat was very yellowed from age and the toilet brush was just thrown on the floor. The hairdryer had an inch of dust and grime on it. The sofa was covered in stains - I didn’t even attempt to go near it let alone touch it. Due to the festival, everywhere else was booked out so we had no choice but to stay as we had driven 5 hours to get there. We were charged $190 per night, even though their website states $150. When I told the man at reception about the room on the Friday, he said he would let the cleaners know. When we checked out on Sunday morning nothing had been done. Luckily I brought antibacterial spray and wipes, along with my own pillow. I definitely left it cleaner than it was when we arrived. Not where near worth the price we paid to stay there, and will definitely never stay there again.

Handy location close to the lake for walking and easy walk into town for meals at excellent cafes.

We really enjoyed our stay in Forbes and in particular our unit. The shower was a little weak and there were no insect screens on the balcony doors, so we had to run the A/C overnight.

Would stay again. Large room, comfy bed and great shower head. Only one drawback was the bathroom didn’t have a working fan so floor got slippery

This place is disgusting. There was blood stains on the pillows, god knows who what white stains on the blankets, hair in the shower and blood on the toilet. We left after an hour. Unable to get refund as there was no one at reception. Wasn’t worth the wait just wanted to get out of there!!

A nice 2 night stay, for Elvis Festival. Room was clean and comfy. We found Domino's and a Chinese take away, couple of minutes walk. There was a club directly across the road. Parking was on site,and easy. I would recommend this hotel,and would definitely stay again.

Nice spacious room. I was concerned that the fridge was close to the bed but it was not noisy.
