The Russell Boutique Hotel

I never believed in Ghosts until i arrived here. I still have PTSD from the things I've seen there. I feel like it's still with me.

Loved it.great night brilliant food and the security guard at the piano bar was very accommodating and funny.all round nice guy.cheers whoever you are. ️️

Me and my family had a great stay. The location was super convenient to discover the city and to have a quick access to the airport. My family, who doesn't speak English, could move around the location of the hotel easily and find perfect places for them to have a drink and some food. The staff cared a lot about the room for my parents when I told them they had some difficulties to move, I really appreciated their effort and the information provided. Also, the hotel has lots of personality, which is not always easy to find in a big city like Sydney!

It was 12 months ago that I used this hotel for the 1st time before departing on a cruise. Rooms were nicely decorated and clean. The staff were also helpful when our cruise was delayed. The thing that most impressed me arrived today in the mail. It was a postcard from the Russell Hotel telling me to stay safe and that they were thinking of me. Victorians have been treated like lepers across the country with our Covid numbers flaring up through no fault of our own. It was nice to get that small encouragement that they look forward to welcoming me back soon. A very nice gesture Russell Hotel and I will be back one day to say thank you in person.

Up and down narrow passageways. When we needed help with our luggage too much trouble. We were boarding a ship.

Very nice folks-they held our baggage for a few hours after we checked out. However, we were in room 2, which was ridiculously loud from the piano bar singer located a few steps away. Honestly, it was like the entire show was outside our door. I don't know what other rooms are like-but don't take room 2 on the weekend unless you want to hang out in the piano bar.

My experience here was fantastic, the location is top, the rooms are so nice and well finished that you've all and more, bathroom very clean and full furnished, ladies in reception supporting in every thing and also the breakfast was very good, one of the best i had in Sydney.

There simply can not be a better spot to stay in Sydney for a quick sightseeing. The hotel was very surprising in every positive aspect. Great room, great bed, sheets, breakfast. Only good surprises!

Beautiful, rustic, "cute" hotel! "Hostel Style" I'm which the bathrooms are in the hallway. But they are very close by and very neatly kept! Awesome place to stay and location too!

Unique hotel in The Rocks. Very handy to the Overseas Passenger Terminal. Be aware that there are lots of up and down stairs.even on the same floor. The included breakfast was good. The bed was super comfy.

Welcoming, tasteful decor, stylish old world charm, sparkling clean and super comfy bed. Extremely helpful and friendly service. So happy to land a complimentary upgrade too. Thank you definitely coming back.

We stayed at the Russell going to a boat cruise and on our way home. This will be our go to hotel in Sydney. Very private and comfortable. Staff are all fantastic, amenities that make you feel at home.

Buffet breakfast was included in the price. Perfect location to explore The Rocks and city centre. Easy access to everywhere, with the ferry terminal and light rail within walking distance. Boutique hotel in a beautiful old building in Sydney's oldest suburb. Staff were friendly and helpful. Check-in and check-out were quick and easy.

If noise is an issue for you (it wasn't for us), be aware that the rooms facing George St can get quite noisy. Also the wine fridge and air conditioner are a little noisy. Our room was closest to the WiFi router yet the signal was very poor and sometimes dropped out altogether.

What a charming heritage building! Yes it may be old, but it’s beautiful, has been renovated and has a lift now inside. Breakfast included aswell. Some rooms have their own bathroom or you can use the share bathroom depending on what room you chose, everything was so clean and kept well. Other bonuses are that it’s in the heart of the rocks with a balcony view from the sitting/reading room with a roof terrace! Old fashioned with unique, eclectic character, you’re not cooped up here at all and your bedroom windows open - freedom ;) unlike other modern hotels.mini bar, tea, coffee, iron/board, bath robes, hangers, tv, wifi, alarm clock radio with USB charge port and most importantly PARKING- yes they even have an awesome deal with the Wilson carpark 155 George St right next door, how cool is that and for only $25 per 24hrs! Cheapest and best deal - I did the research, it gets VERY expensive Parking your car in Sydney. As with a lot of old hotels they don’t always have their own personal parking so this deal along with staying here at the Russell is perfect there’s so much history you need to research it. I’m already hooked and obsessed that I’m looking at going back in a few weeks. I’m saving the best for last- Room 8, this is the room I stayed in on purpose, yes I did my research, and it’s haunted! I was seeking the paranormal and that’s exactly what I got. Another thing you’ll need to research. One must realise that these buildings especially in the rocks area were built way back “in the beginning” the 1800’s, there’s bound to be ALOT of history with them, that’s why I did the ghost tour and the rocks walkabout tour- highly recommend and there’s other tours to do too, that’s why I’ll be back soon! So to sum it all up, great hotel, great price, great parking, yummy breakfast (included) and friendly welcoming staff in a fantastic location. Thank you Russell

Great Boutique hotel in the rocks, large selection of rooms. Friendly staff. Good continental breakfast included.
Short walk to Circular Quay, the rocks, museum of modern art.
Nice roof top area

This place is the best! SO central (10min walk to the Opera House in the middle of Vivid) and very reasonable costs - underground parking next door (discounted for guests) and walk wherever you want to go. The rooms are absolutely beautiful and clean, the staff friendly and helpful - can't wait for my next stay!

Really nice place to stay. Location is perfect and the hotel is very comfortable with everything you need. We had room one above the pub which is not ideal for anyone who wants to go to bed early as the noise level is extremely high especially Friday nights DJ.

Fabulous boutique hotel in the heart of The Rocks with vintage charm. Had a small double room without tv (no problem) and shared bathroom. Bathroom was spotless every time I went to use it so it was no issue. Continental breakfast included in the price was excellent. Can't wait to go back for my next visit next week. Such good value for its amenities and fantastic location. Gets my highest recommendation.
