“Forest Gate presents a mixed bag, though the sincere hospitality of the staff, particularly Suresh, seems to be a consistent highlight. The spacious rooms and balconies offer a relaxing view of the greenery, which can be a welcome escape. If you value a personal connection with the host and a comfortable, if not perfect, stay, Forest Gate might be worth considering.”
