This is a pleasant hotel but it's not going to take your breath away. I had a nicely presented spacious first floor room, but it was old fashioned and the bathroom was past its best. I was surprised to find it still had a bath. A delight for some, but I prefer not to clamber to use an in-bath shower. Also, Australian TV shows are mediocre at best. Given that we all like to stream, the hotel needs to up its game and provide TV that allow guests to cast. It's a shame there's no lift. If I'm wrong and there is, I unreservedly apologise, but in my defence I wasn't told about it. Nor was the single lady I met who was grateful for my assistance with her heavy suitcase. The biggest bugbear is that the hotel is in a "hotel only" zone that stops them from operating a restaurant. This means grabbing a meal isn't that easy. The reception staff told me restaurants were just a short stroll away. I'd describe it as a hike. So, if you like a bit of exercise to build up an appetite, this is the place for you. On balance, okay, but I'd say to the owners, there's no room for complacence. Others provide a better service for less money.

I was very comfortable and enjoyed my stay. I can’t think of anything they could do differently - aside from update the bathroom, perhaps. Loved the aesthetic, the comfy beds, the service and the cleverness of being able to decline room cleaning for a day and earn a $10 mini bar credit. It’s smart that the mini bar is its own room rather than jammed into a mini fridge - there’s a good variety along with self service tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Nice fresh fruit at reception too.

Very comfortable bed but that’s where it starts and ends. Extremely old and tired bathroom. Ancient TV with no streaming, a remote with no battery door and when the tv is off it shoots a beam of light into the room. A loud AC and ugly 90s Country Comfort style furniture. Windows open but they’re also old and rattle in the wind. Terrible shower. No body wash in the bottle. Housekeeping clearly not checking. Hair on my towel too.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. Our superior king room was so spacious, clean and well appointed. Definitely recommend the Brassey.

It's a nice hotel! I had a great stay with no complaints. Some friends of mine in other rooms had a less enjoyable experience due to the noise the pipes made but I guess it's room dependent as I couldn't hear anything. Would definitely come back.
