When we arrived we were thrilled with the location of the Russell as we were going to see a band at the Brighton Centre which is just around the corner. The place is in great need of modernisation, the staff are friendly and the rooms are clean but would not stay there again. The only great thing about the place... more

The best thing by far about the Russell is it's location, which is just a short stroll to the seafront and most of Brightons main attractions. Unfortunately I found the guest house itself to be a let down, and I didnt feel it was good value for money. The room (#2) was decent sized but the furniture and decorations were... more

The room was dirty, there were hairs in the bed and the headboard was grimey with grease and dirt. The sheets had holes in them and we felt like they hadn't been changed from the previous tenants. The bed also seemed to have a really old mattress that was far too soft and we kept rolling towards each other. It... more

The Russell Guest House is convenient to the beach (very close to the West Pier), convenient to shopping (shopping center is a short walk away and the lanes are just a little bit further) and is located in a comfortable square. The b&b is very clean and seems to be well run. Our room (number 2) was on the first... more

As previous reviewers have stated, the breakfast is good. The hotel is very close to all the amenities, just at the back is a good selection of bars and restaurants which are worth checking out. Would definitely recomment it and return at some point. more

Although this is a more modest Guest House, it represents extremely good value for money. Our family room was on the top/third floor, which was fine because we were pre-warned about the stairs and given an option whether or not to book. We felt that the cost was very reasonable. In fact, the room was a good size for three... more

First impression was shabby but clean. The stairwell carpets are threadbare, but if you can see past that then you'll find it very clean and in an excellent location. I appreciate that the manager was upfront about our room being located in the basement and therefore had no views, not that it mattered to us. It was clean and comfortable.... more

We wondered into Brighton without any idea of what was available or where it was and accidentally stumbled on the Russell Guest House. Sian and Chris were very kind, our room was wonderful and the English breakfast was really the best we had the whole time we were in England. When we left, they connected us with train schedules so... more
