Me and my partner Sam decided to head to brighton for the weekend and found the Russell Guest House at a great price for two nights which also included breakfast. It was 2 minutes from the beach and 2 minutes into town centre, was perfect. When we first arrived the outside didn't look as attractive or inviting as windows were... More

Stayed here with a couple of friends for the easter weekend. Lovely weather, which was brilliant as the guesthouse is so close to the beach. We stayed in room 4 which has a double and single bed, the beds were really comfy and there was a good supply of tea and coffee and free kit kats in the room and... More

There was no reception area, just a shabby dark hallway. There was an awful musty smell as soon as we entered. Our room was dusty and shabby to say the least!!! The over bed lights were broken. There was an old portable TV. shoved high in the corner. The curtains were hanging off and the window sills were damp. The... More

Me and my friends went down to Brighton for a weekend away for my birthday. We had 2 rooms booked (rooms 6 and 7) which were a good size considering the rooms were for 3 people. The rooms are nicely decorated and very clean and there are some complimentary kit kats with the tea and coffee, which was a nice... More

I was in Brighton for a business trip, and was recommended to stay at The Russle Guest House, and was very impressed with the service from the staff, the room was clean and well appointed. The breakfast was delicious and the service was great. I would recommend to friends and definitely return if i were to come back to brighton. More

We booked this accommodation for its location (which is excellent), for being pet friendly and its seemingly good price. When we arrived we were shown to Room 3, which looks much more appealing on the hotel's website than in reality. The room was extremely shabby, in desperate need of some love and attention. There were stains on the carpet and... More

Great location, immediatly into the center of Brighton. For the rest, very unpersonal, really old furniture (including shower). The food is OK, but not too super. On overall just OK, nothing more, slight less. Our regrets: The room and the sheets were clean, but if you try to take an extra blanket, I wasn't so sure anymore. We didn't want... More
