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.

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.

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.

Gorgeous boutique hotel. The executive room provided great space, fantastic bedding, a view of the harbor, and private bath. The location is perfect and walkable to several shops, taverns, and restaurants. Definitely recommended and would stay again.

We booked this hotel for our pre and post cruise travel. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The hotel was within walking distance to restaurants and attractions. Both rooms were clean and the AC and fan were working well. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. If we ever come back to Sydney we would book the Russell again.

A lovely hotel in a great location. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I stayed in room 9, which was a very large room just for 1 person. The room was clean, beautifully decorated and had great views. The only downside was it wasn't en-suite, but there were 3 shared bathrooms close by to this room. Breakfast in the morning was in the bistro downstairs. There was plenty of seating, the staff were friendly and the breakfast selection was great (I enjoyed the big breakfast). I would stay here again and highly recommend this hotel.
