This was a lovely place to stay in a great spot in town. Everywhere was very clean, well maintained and beautifully decorated. The shower pressure was great. My room didn't have the best view (it was of a wall) but I booked last minue on the day so probably didn't get the best room. Would definitely stay again and maybe upgrade!

The Russell Boutique Hotel went through renovations in recent months and it shows nicely. The real standout was the excellent staff led by Val. My initial reservations about the location were replaced with delight as everyone made my short stay a pleasant and welcoming experience. Be aware that some rooms have a shared bathroom. The restaurant downstairs was convenient and the service was prompt and friendly. I enjoyed my meal and slept well. In the morning, May, the night staff, helped me log my luggage to the front for my Uber pickup. She was friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. I would stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay at The Russell. The staff were friendly and helpful and made every effort to make our stay enjoyable. Perfectly located to enjoy everything The Rocks has to offer including Vivid, we had lots to do and see within in a short stroll. Returning to the hotel we loved the live music in the small pub and it was the only place open until 12pm on the street. Our room was perfect, although no air conditioner, a ceiling fan and a heater was the only option, but it added to the antique charm. Breakfast is included and although limited, it had our favourite options on the menu. We would definitely stay there again, loved it!
