Staff were exemplary, very warm and made us feel at home immediately. The room was very clean and well appointed. Would definitely stay at The Russell Hotel again. Only negative was the lighting in the room, which was not bright enough to read by, only a very small negative.

Very 'tired' hotel. My room had no desk or proper table with appropriate chair. Had to 'make' my own to use my laptop comfortably. Breakfast was very average. Great location, though, so good value hotel if you just want B & B.
