So sad that this hotel (and the Prince Regent) are up for sale. They are great value for money with "Martyn's Holidays". Just had a great weekend break. Rooms are a bit tired but nice and clean. Location excellent. Food surprisingly good for the price. Staff cannot do enough to help. Lets hope it continues under any new owners.

just come back from a 5 day break at the "Russell", after reading reviews on here we went with mixed feelings and I have to say a lot of the comments were right... the hotel is very shabby and could do with re-decorating but in its favour we found it very clean... lovely white sheets and towels and the bathroom...

On arrival we got asked to park behind a car then just sign in on the desk then they gave us the room key. After that we went for a walk and when we came back we had a note on the floor saying to hand our car key in to reception. Before doing so we went to collect belongings... More

Went with Alfa on a five... More

The Russell Hotel is ideally situated on the seafront but is rather "tired" and in need of refurbishment. We had an adequate double bedroom which was warm but found the plastic covered mattress rather uncomfortable and although there was a large ensuite with a bath with shower over one of the bathroom windows was cracked and a previous incumbent had...

We recently stayed at the Russell for a long weekend, arriving Friday 22 February. We had a lovely big room with a sea view and all our special requests had been catered for, the bathroom was huge but to be honest not as clean as it could have been but not bad enough for us to ask to be moved....
