We were at the Russell for just one night as we were heading off to France next day. It was a very relaxing place to start off our holiday. The staff were all friendly and hard-working. Our room was very clean and comfortable. We were glad of a kettle and tea tray in our room. Breakfast was excellent and varied:... More

Had a very enjoyable stay here with my family. The check-in process was friendly and efficient and despite arriving mid-morning we were allocated rooms without any problem. The double room on the 5th floor was a decent size, well appointed, nice views and perfect for my parent's requirements. My room, a single room on the 3rd floor, was compact but... More

Stayed for my husbands 60th birthday and from start to finish it was VIP treatment all the way. The hotel building itself is beautiful steeped in history but with all the amenities you could ask for. The interior has been lovingly and sympathetically restored. The staff are friendly but very professional and not over familiar. Everywhere you look there is... More

Arrived early and left bags for an hour while we had lunch. Returned to find very friendly receptionist, room 305 ready and a free upgrade. What more could you want. Room lovely on third floor with big windows in bedroom which overlooked the park. Nice large bathroom with great shower. Breakfast was one of the best I have had in... More

The bed was comfortable and not too small. The breakfast was very nice. Tasty sausages and perfectly cooked eggs; nice selection and at... More

I stayed overnight with some friends as part of a "Superbreak" Theatre and Hotel stay. We arrived a little earler than the chek in time and were upgraded to superior rooms. The rooms were huge and nicely decorated with tea and coffee making facilities. If i was being picky i would expect a room such as this to have complimentary... More

A great place to stay for all who enjoy elegant, beutiful and lluxurious places with 1900 decor and ambiance. The location is excellent, facing Ruasel Square gardens and a few metres from the underground station.

Stayed with a business colleague there yesterday. Beautiful building with original marble throughout the hotel. Great room with excellent shower, nice busy bar downstairs. Lovely staff, excellent breakfast. All for &159. Couldn't fault it.

I don't like hotels with a traditional atmosphere but this grand old dame is the exception to the rule. Superb, striking building dominating Russell Square and a foyer that makes you feel that you've arrived somewhere. Most of the reception team European but no language niggles/confusion, just relaxed and friendly. Dealt with worryingly big check-in queue quickly. Had pre-dinner drinks... More
