The hotel is set in an old pub/hotel building with lots of beautiful character and charm. The room was a decent size and lovely and cozy. Even with a lot of noise from crowds and the pub downstairs, the addition of noise cancelling Perspex on the windows, you could barely hear it. The shared bathrooms were always clean and maintained. Breakfast downstairs at the Fortune of War was amazing. All staff at the hotel and pub/restaurant were helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay here again

We booked this hotel for our pre and post cruise travel. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The hotel was within walking distance to restaurants and attractions. Both rooms were clean and the AC and fan were working well. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. If we ever come back to Sydney we would book the Russell again.

Lots of narrow stairs to navigate luggage as the one lift didn't have access to most rooms.The room was not ready at 2pm which was check in time. we arrived at 930am ( told them before that we would be early)we new it was check in at 2 but staff said they would try to get us in earlier but it ended up been even later than stated 2pm.before the room was available to us.We had booked sound proof room which was a joke as this place was extremely noisy until 1245am due to music being played down stairs in pub.Breakfast was good and staff were very nice.Bed was comfortable, bathroom clean, tiniest fridge I've ever seen.aircon good.
