Great location wasn't expecting air conditioning so a bonus on a heatwave weekend would definitely stay again only downside breakfast not included as per advertised but won't stop us booking again so close to everything loved our stay

Me and my family had a great stay. The location was super convenient to discover the city and to have a quick access to the airport. My family, who doesn't speak English, could move around the location of the hotel easily and find perfect places for them to have a drink and some food. The staff cared a lot about the room for my parents when I told them they had some difficulties to move, I really appreciated their effort and the information provided. Also, the hotel has lots of personality, which is not always easy to find in a big city like Sydney!

Beautiful, cute, fabulous hotel! We were a little worried to stay in an older/historical hotel, but oh my! It was the best choice we could have made! Not only is The Russell cheaper than any surrounding hotel, it was a very nice, clean and had some character that a chain hotel wouldn't have. Location was great! Just a few blocks away from The Harbour Bridge and just around the corner to the Opera House. 2-minute walk to The Circular Quay Train Station. And at The Harbour, there are some great ice cream/gelato places.

Staff is so nice and helpful... we got off our cruise ship at 10am and "checked-in", it was early so we couldn't go to our room... the staff tagged our bags and assured us they would take them to our room. So, we went ventured out with our Aussie friend for the day. When we got back, our bags were in our room and the room was fabulous! Loved it! Very good bed and pillows! Everything nice!

Continental breakfast was great! They had had nut breads, regular bread and fruits... along with bran cereal, frosted flakes and others.
Definitely would stay here again when we come back to Sydney!

No complaints, everything was fantastic! Loved, loved, love The Russell Hotel. The bathrooms are in the hallway, but they are very nice and kept up nicely! Soap and shampoo is provided! No complaints!

My room was small but comfortable. Shared bathroom was clean, and I only had to wait to use it once during my stay. On Saturday night, I could hear the piano music a little bit from the bar downstairs, but I didn't mind. I liked it. Also, the pub - Fortune of War - was fabulous. Friendly and with great music. Enjoyed singing and carousing. Also, the location couldn't be beat, as it was close to transport and the most beautiful parts of Sydney. Bed comfy too. Excellent stay.

Nice historic hotel in a very central location. Some rooms have a bathroom. While other rooms share a bathroom. But these were very clean. The decor is old, but not distasteful. Rooms are small, but have high ceilings so you don't feel claustrophobic. No air-conditioning but shouldn't be a problem for most of the year except on very hot humid days. However, the windows do open, and they have a ceiling fan. The location is excellent, right on George Street next to Circular Quay and the historic district of The Sydney Rocks. There is a restaurant available downstairs. Some rooms are only accessible by a short staircase. I liked the hotel. It has a historic continental charm about it.
