I have stayed at the Brassey on numerous occasions and always enjoy its old worldly charm, it’s friendly, efficient staff and beautiful gardens. However, on this visit I was disappointed with the room which was very small, cramped and quite dark. For the price paid, I expected a better room.

There is a commercial gym on the property. Parking always a problem, even though we chose this property for parking. Had to carry heavy luggage upstairs to our room on first floor. Leaf blower operating at 8am every morning right outside our window. Supposed to be one bedroom suite, the room was tiny. TV did not work Bedding was uncomfortable. Two singles pushed together for fake king, with lump in the middle.

Beautiful, quiet and quaint. Stayed with my daughter to visit the capital tourist sights. It’s super close to Parliament House and about 10 minutes from everything we visited. Beds were super comfy, rooms were spacious and warm. There are no lifts but the charm of the place makes up for that. Only things that could be improved is the lighting in the room was a little dim, as is always the case in rooms and there were no usb ports in the room to charge devices.
