Romance in the Rocks
The Russell is a quaint hotel befitting the Rocks. We had a lovely room that opened on to an enclosed courtyard. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The discount at the Fortune of War bistro was welcome. It is an easy walk from the car park. If you like antique Cedar furniture you will be very happy here.

Lovely old building and a very nice room with stairs leading down to it and some nice antique furniture. Very nice buffet breakfast. Only complaint was a musty/mouldy smell in the bathroom; it was very clean though
