The staff is very friendly and helpful, the hotel is located near Camberra's central areal and very accessible. The room is clean and comfortable, and despite having limited number of parking spots, I did not any issues parking my car at different hours of the day or night. I highly recommend Brassey Hotel to anyone visiting Camberra, ACT

Great location and well presented staff. The physical building is beautiful. Lots of parking spaces. The room was large and the beds comfortable. It seemed that the staff had forgotten to fill up the shampoo and conditioner, which is annoying. The coffee machine in the lobby was broken during our visit, which disappointed me greatly.

We enjoyed staying at Brassey, it’s in a quiet location and within walking distance to Kingston shops. Recommend if you want good value, clean & easy parking accommodation.

Booked for 3 nights to visit new granddaughter. Always enjoy the quiet suburban location, easy parking and old school vibe this hotel has. Unfortunately there were unreasonably noisy guests this trip and went to staff desk after 11pm to see if anything could be done. Night manager had just come on duty and was fantastic in coming straight up and settling things down. Next day I decided to go home 1 night early and had no expectation of any refund with the short notice but the staff understood the circumstances and didn’t charge me that last night. Thank you and well done, especially that night manager and the new day manager on Saturday morning.

My partner and I really enjoyed our stay at Brassey Hotel. The hotel was very clean and had great amenities. The hotel is in close proximity to Canberra CBD and main tourist destinations. Driving would be the best way to travel to and from areas.

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.

Overall we were impressed with the Brassey Hotel. The beds were very comfortable, the rooms a reasonable size and clean. The only difficulty we experienced was parking at certain time of the day.

A comfortable, updated hotel in a good location close to eateries and the lake. We found the beds soft and comfortable and the bathroom clean and spacious in our ground floor room. There were a few steps down to our room so ask for a room which does not have stair access if you need one. The bathroom was surprisingly modern for a hotel with old world charm. Free onsite parking was a bonus. Would definitely stay again.
