I had a one day stay over in Canberra and fortunately chose this property. It’s close to most things in Canberra though has a quiet leafy feel about it. The hotel presents very well. There is a huge gym facility on the ground floor, if that is your requirement. There is a nice restaurant a short walk away, and markets nearby as well. So effectively you are quietly in the middle

We stayed 1 night in a Family room (2x adults & 2x teenages) and my parents in a separate room, it was excellent. Comfy beds and pillows, it was clean and spacious perfect for our stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The fact that parking was included in the price (as we had 2 cars) was the reason for choosing the Brassey. I would happily stay here again and recommend to others.

We stayed one night in a standard room. The room is clean and its size is reasonable. The hotel is located at a quiet street and is not far away from Lake Burley Griffin. Self parking is free but the number of free car space is very limited. There are some restaurants near the hotel but the main shopping centre is quite far away. Staff are very friendly.

The stay was average at best. The room was quite small, although it was clean and the bed was comfortable.

The main issue was the handling of the late check-out. I had already paid for a late check-out, however when I went to leave at 12:30pm, I was told there would be an additional charge on top of what I had already paid. This was disappointing and felt unreasonable.
Overall, while the basics were fine, the experience was let down by poor handling of what should have been a simple arrangement.

The photographs included in this properties listing suggest that there are loads of food and other facilities in the venue when in fact they’re in neighbouring properties owned by the same hotel group a few streets away

While I appreciate that this is classed as a ‘historical’ hotel i assumed this would mean reasonably contemporary fittings in the bathrooms and new beds etc.

To be clear this is an old property with basic 90s bathroom fitouts and no dining options. Felt like an older ski lodge or something. Was booked for two nights but the bed was so soft and unsupported I woke up with a backache and checked out early the first morning. No flexibility from the staff at all for even a partial refund for the second night.

Cute place, okay staff

Really cute place. Staff could be a little softer in their customer service, I called up to check what time the sauna hours were and I was put on hold for three minutes - after coming off hold I asked the question and had a one word answer. No follow up of reopening times.
Otherwise it’s a really cute place and nice area to unwind

Enjoyed the stay - room was quiet and the beds were comfortable.

The hotel was built so that the front and back look identical. The hotel guest parking is at the back.

If you see a sign for a spa, you are at the rear of the hotel.

Nice hotel and good area. Bit of false advertising as the main photo with the chairs next to the pool is not accessible to hotel guests so not sure why they include it in the hotel photos.

Comfy stay

Small comfortable room. We were only there to sleep. Beds were comfortable. The whole hotel smells beautiful. Didn’t have time to test the amenities but everything looked clean and well looked after. It’s on a quiet street. Perfect place to go home to after a busy day. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.

The Brassey is a gem! It is elegant, historic, peaceful and beautifully decorated and appointed. Spotlessly clean, spacious room. We will stay at The Brassey every time we visit Canberra in future.

Loved the access to the gym, but not all gym areas were available. My partner is an athlete and was prepping for a competition and needed a quiet space to yoga, but the yoga space in the gym was unavailable to be accessed or used; despite the facility not being booked by a personal trainer. The gym/spa staff were not helpful towards the request to use this part of the gym facility from a hotel guest, notwithstanding that the hotel promotes access to the gym. Also the spa was not available to be accessed by hotel guests on Saturday. These were the only disappointing parts of the stay.

Nice property but be aware there are no lifts - stairs only. The airconditioning unit in our room (330) was very noisy which was frustrating. The television is a bit small considering how far from the bed it is - a larger screen would be more comfortable viewing, but younger eyes will probably have no issues! All in all a comfortable stay in a good location.

Comfortable stay for a reasonable price

Comfortable bed in generously-proportioned suite of lovely old hotel with helpful staff. Minor imperfections consistent with building's age. On-site parking or the street is fine if you miss out on a bay. Quiet location. EV charger nearby.
