My partner and I stayed at The Russell Hotel last month. The place looks grand from the outside but the interior is quite shabby and the service very average. The public areas are okay- clean but lackluster, and decorated in poor taste with what looks like an inadequate budget. We chose the hotel because it is located close to St... more

Overall, this hotel was everything we needed; decent sized room, decent sized bed, comfortable bed, decent sized in-room private bathroom (smaller shower stall), very quiet (but you have to ask for this), excellent daily full breakfast (don't wait till the last min. because they sometimes close early!), very clean, decent amount of tv channels, GREAT location for all site-seeing, bars... more

I stayed with family at the Russell as an interum stop on our way to Africa. As we arrived after an overnight flight from the States, tired and out of sorts with flight and tube fatigue, Bernard (concierge) met us on the stairs of the Russell and quickly commandeered our luggage. His wit, charm and help were a good omen.... more

I've stayed here several times on business. The Russell Hotel is in a great location and could be a superb hotel but they have a few problems. I really wanted to give this hotel either 5 stars or one star - it can differ from one extreme to the other each time you stay. Firstly, the service is very variable... more

Having stayed a couple of weeks ago and being pleasantly surprised by this hotel previously, when I needed to visit London again at short notice I was enticed back to the Russell Hotel - mainly by its location which was just where I needed. I was not, therefore surprised by the wait to check in at reception (nor by the... more
