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!

Overall we had a great stay at the Russell boutique hotel. Conveniently located for what we required for the weekend. Parking right next door. Circular and the Rocks on our doorstep. Staff were very polite and welcoming. Our room was beautiful, comfortable and clean, a credit to the very recent refurbishment, and although no view and no seating in our room, this was made up for with the beautiful roof top balcony only steps away from our room. Breakfast was included in our stay and was cooked to order from the menu. Highly recommended.

Great except the breakfast which was a 5/10, and the unexpected increase cost of Wilson carpark. Even the hotel was not informed (can’t blame them). But the lovely manager (Valentine?) was responsive and offered a solution. Thank you, we’ll be back.

I booked the hotel in March, I booked an economy double room. When I arrived, I was told that the room do not have a shower or toilet - that it had a shared toilet and shower. I showed them my booking and receipt that says nothing about a shared toilet or shower. They also told me they don't even have an economy double - the rooms all had names. They put me in a room with an en-suite for a few hundred more per night. I have learned that the hotel "reopened" in May, which I presumed was responsible for the change in price. They told me I would have to take it up with Expedia which I did but Expedia said there was nothing they could do. I believe the hotel should have honored the Expedia reservation at the price I paid for a room where amenities were listed as "bathroom." I was also told that breakfast was included but two mornings worth of breakfast was included in the bill - I have reached out to the hotel, but they have not answered. My advice: the hotel is lovely but make sure you deal directly with the hotel and get it in writing what you are paying for
