Diamond, Dec 2025
Pros (+) Location excellent, breakfast included a bonus
Cons (-) All the steps up and down through out hotel. That being said we are an older couple. The night we were there there was.live music (if you could call it that) We could just hear the head banging background and a horrible sort of resonating from speakers. They have the music Wednesday and Sunday.

Gillian, Dec 2025
Pros (+) The quality of the renovation was excellent,modern but respecting the heritage.
Cons (-) We had a room for 3 people. Beds were set up for 3, but only 2 towels, glasses and tea/coffee facilities for 2. Would have liked to have bottled water available.

Melissa, Dec 2025
Pros (+) I loved the interior design, it was such a beautiful room and bathroom. The guest sitting room and rooftop terrace were lovely. Breakfasts were delicious and generous. I also enjoyed the live music in the front bar - all the classics, was fun to join in!
Cons (-) No fault of The Russell at all but a famous cafe chain down the road brought wheely bins down the lane very noisily at 5.30am, waking me up.

Devon, Dec 2025
Pros (+) Superb central location - it was so easy to get to the hotel via train and light rail. The hotel was accommodating in allowing us to leave luggage earlier in the day before check in when we arrived in Sydney. All attractions are within walking distance, the breakfast was great and service from staff wonderful!
