This is a charming hotel, intimate and elegant, and thoughtfully furnished with period pieces. Superbly located in the historic Rocks area, from here you can easily explore many of Sydney's top attractions. You are also near to Circular Quay, from where you can catch a train, ferry or bus to destinations further a field. After a hard day amongst the hustle and bustle of the city, relax with a cool drink in the rooftop garden.

Ripoff

This hotel was such a dump, loud traffic outside, windows which wouldn't close, old, dilapidated furniture, non-working appliances in the apartment, charming it wasn't. The only good thing about this hotel were the jelly beans in the lobby. We left after one night of a planned four night stay and went to the Intercontinental.

Like going back in time 100 years

If a historical experience isn't your cup of tea, better find a slick hotel instead of the Russell. If staying in a homey time warped hotel sounds like fun to you, try this hotel. I got a room with a shared bathroom down the hall. This ended up not being a big deal, but it felt a bit off considering the $140AUD paid for the room. But what we saved on the great breakfast each morning and in cab fare, since we were right at the travel hub and in the Rocks historical area with great bars and restaurants, made up for it. I'd stay there again. It was convenient and enhanced my Sydney experience.
