“Brassey's Canberra character”

Brassey Hotel - Managed by Doma Hotels is a lovely historic Canberra stay — roomy comfortable rooms with tall ceilings, antique charm, and framed newspapers, comfy beds, openable windows, a complimentary coffee machine, a super equipped gym, a quiet embassy-district location near lake walks and Manuka dining, easy parking, and super helpful staff; repeat guests make it their Canberra base. Caveats though: a noticeable musty smell, limited parking, a soft mattress, and a slightly-tired bathroom.
