The superb location of the Russell Hotel at the start of The Rocks at Circular Quay is ideal. So easy to get to by train! But on top of that, it has heritage character by the bucketload, friendly staff and a really nice restaurant.

Nicely presented hotel in The Rocks which is central to everything. Very comfortable room and our booking included breakfast. The bathrooms are shared which could be a problem if the hotel was fully booked. We did not have any problem when we stayed in September. The bathrooms are large and very clean. Really enjoyed our stay. A very reasonable price for something so central.

A great location - right in the heart of food and culture areas. Easy walking distance to Opera House, City centre, Gardens, Bridge, and transport. Only minor drawback was slow wifi in our room - but hey - I probably shouldn't have been checking my emails while on holiday. I would definitely stay there again.

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 had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel. The location was excellent, making it easy to explore Sydney and access everything we needed. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We arrived earlier than expected, and the receptionist kindly arranged for our room to be serviced as a priority so we could check in as soon as possible, which was greatly appreciated. The restaurant downstairs was also excellent, with great food and a fabulous breakfast to start the day. Overall, the service, facilities, and location exceeded our expectations. We will definitely stay here again the next time we're in Sydney.
