This small hotel and staff were exceptional. My room was spacious, quiet and had a nice fridge for my wine. It is located in the heart of The Rocks area, close to the harbor, tram station and scads of restaurants. I am going back to Sydney in 2027 and will book one year in advance to ensure my stay.

The Russell Boutique Hotel went through renovations in recent months and it shows nicely. The real standout was the excellent staff led by Val. My initial reservations about the location were replaced with delight as everyone made my short stay a pleasant and welcoming experience. Be aware that some rooms have a shared bathroom. The restaurant downstairs was convenient and the service was prompt and friendly. I enjoyed my meal and slept well. In the morning, May, the night staff, helped me log my luggage to the front for my Uber pickup. She was friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. I would stay there again.

Best location and a lovely hotel

This hotel is in a fabulous location in the Rocks and access to many attractions USA bonus. Lovely hotel but lots of stairs and managing luggage is difficult so next time I will use a backpack.

This was a lovely place to stay in a great spot in town. Everywhere was very clean, well maintained and beautifully decorated. The shower pressure was great. My room didn't have the best view (it was of a wall) but I booked last minue on the day so probably didn't get the best room. Would definitely stay again and maybe upgrade!
