I had a comfortable stay at Brassey Hotel, enjoying the charming heritage vibes despite some changes that made it feel less personal. The newly redecorated rooms are cozy, particularly with the scenic views of camellias outside. However, I did miss the restaurant that used to be there. The amenities were adequate, and the location was perfect for exploring Canberra. I found the overall experience quite pleasant, but with room for improvement. 😊
