Russell Hotel. Feb 3,4, 5 Good Hotel. If you're looking for the Marriott or the Four Seasons Hotel, this isn't it. However, this is a very charming old hotel located in the popular Rocks area of Sydney. You won't find many of the upscale amenities here, but you will find an excellent staff who will take time with you to... More

Loved the combination of olde world charm, quirkiness, service and location. A really charming little place where I would happily stay again... More

The title says it all. Location is great - right in the heart of the Rocks. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Sydney for the first time (or second as was my case). Hotel was very clean and the prices quite reasonable for Sydney. Wine bar on the first floor is a nice touch. However, the rooms are very small and... More

Just prior to taking a cruise that left from the International Passenger Terminal on Circular Quay just a block and a half away, we spent three nights at the Russell and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The hotel was as we imagine hotel accommodation was many years ago, albeit with the addition of a few modern conveniences. Our room was not... More

The Russell is a fantastic Boutique Hotel. Ideally located in the Rocks part of Sydney. I stayed with 2 other family members and they kindly accommodated a twin room in to a 3 bed room. We had a shared bathroom which is something I have not done in the past, however was very clean and we did not find any... More

Situated in The Rocks directly over the road from Circular Quay. Unbeatable location for Opera House and Bridge viewing and a trip to Manly on the Ferry. You can see Ocean Liners docked as you step out of the hotel. Many historical pubs nearby. Pleasant boutique hotel with an excellent wine bar beneath which doubles as the breakfast area in... More

Location is just perfect. Ferry, trains, and everything you may want to see in center Sydney is at walking distance. The room was wide enough and confortable, although infrastractures are rather old but they have a personal touch, very nice (and uncommon in Australia I guess). Breakfast (included in a reasonable room rate) was very good with fresh food and... More

We feel lucky that we found this hotel, not knowing much about Sydney. It is a five minute walk from Circular Key, the transportation hub in Sydney Harbour. You can catch the train in from the Airport and walk to the hotel in minutes. Very convenient. The hotel is old but has lots of character. Breakfast was perfect and provided... More

The Russell is ideally placed for all the main tourist locations in Sydney, with train, ferry and tourbus stops only a short walk away. The staff at the hotel were friendly and very helpful (thank you Elizabeth) - breakfast is provided in the ground floor bar and is to a good standard. The rooms are clean and all have some... More
