The hotel is set in an old pub/hotel building with lots of beautiful character and charm. The room was a decent size and lovely and cozy. Even with a lot of noise from crowds and the pub downstairs, the addition of noise cancelling Perspex on the windows, you could barely hear it. The shared bathrooms were always clean and maintained. Breakfast downstairs at the Fortune of War was amazing. All staff at the hotel and pub/restaurant were helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay here again

We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel. The location was excellent, making it easy to explore Sydney and access everything we needed. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We arrived earlier than expected, and the receptionist kindly arranged for our room to be serviced as a priority so we could check in as soon as possible, which was greatly appreciated. The restaurant downstairs was also excellent, with great food and a fabulous breakfast to start the day. Overall, the service, facilities, and location exceeded our expectations. We will definitely stay here again the next time we're in Sydney.

Absolutely fabulous location right in the center of the Rocks district. We got on a cruise ship from the hotel and it was an easy walk to the cruise port.

This hotel is absolutely beautiful! I arrived relatively early, and my room was already prepared and clean, saving me from having to walk around until 2pm. The room was gorgeous and comfortable with charming decor and the most beautiful tiles in the bathroom. There is no air con, which can make the room a little humid, but the ceiling fan is pretty efficient. The service of the staff was stunning. This was my first time staying in a hotel on my own as an adult, and I think it was amazing!! The only negative thing is there can be a couple rowdy people out around at night, which is no fault of the hotel, and I still slept fine. As a young adult / couple who only stayed for 2 nights, this hotel was delightful! It's also in the most convenient area for shopping and meals. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Perfectly located, beautifully renovated maintaining their historical charm, very comfortable bedding, amazing food, entertainment and atmosphere at the Fortunes of War hotel that serves the complimentary breakfast. An ideal getaway for adults wanting a relaxing break in Circular Key.

My wife and I stayed at the Russell for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were all going out of their way to provide any help needed. Always asking if wanting more. The room was cleaned every day with chocolate turndowns at night. Location was perfect! Lots of activity and close to transportation. Definitely worth money spent for a wonderful time.

Susan • Couple Trip

Great location for walking around The Rocks area. You can take the train, Light Rail or a ferry from Circular Quay for places further out, like Chinatown, Manly Beach, etc. Res’t & Fortune of War Pub on street level @ hotel. Walk to Opera House, Royal Botanical Gardens, Harbor Bridge. Lots of res’ts, pubs very close by. OPT, 3 for short blocks away for cruisers. We had the Charming Room away from potential noise from front rd.(George St), but we had noise in the small walkway behind the Russell @ nite.

The hotel is located in the busy The Rocks area. This old hotel is well maintained. We stayed overnight to catch a cruise ship and the location was perfect. We used the back exit down the alley to The Nurses Walk for a smoother route to the ship. If you are traveling with lots of luggage ask for a room without stairs. There are lots of stairs as the rooms are split on half levels and down little hallways. Our room was #16 and the lift took us to the 2nd floor and it was just down the hall, same level. There is no air conditioning and it can get quite warm. The overhead ceiling fan helped a great deal. Breakfast was included with our room and it was plentiful, delicious and there were good selections. Service was excellent.

Valerie • Couple Trip

Lovely historic boutique hotel ideally located in The Rocks neighborhood. Our Room overlooking George Street was spacious & comfortable. At least 3 old townhouses are now connected together with accommodations on the top floors and Bistro 1828 (excellent breakfast) & Fortune of War (Sydney’s oldest pub) on the street level to enjoy tasty food & drinks. We walked our luggage about 2 1/2 easy blocks to Circular Quay to embark on our cruise ship so the hotel location was perfect for that. Also an easy walk to the Opera House, the Explorer Bus, the subway/metro, the tram, many restaurants & the Sydney Harbour Bridge

We greatly appreciated our stay. Staff was wonderful. Location was wonderful. The ladies and the gentleman that worked at the front desk were all extremely helpful. The room we had was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for our stay. Also the included breakfast was very good and the staff working there were also very nice. If we come back to Sidney we would come back to this hôtel.

The employees of this hotel are stellar examples of what we expect the behavior to be from top rate hotels. They were accomodating, friendly and knowledgable! I wish I was treated half as good at other places I've stayed! The hotel was clean and quaint, but had a lot of stairs on every level. The restaurant was worth breakfast.

Room was not vacuumed throughout stay, which was slightly disappointing, as other areas were thoroughly cleaned. Staff were very helpful and courteous.
