Feedback about Russell Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Russell Hotel is appreciated for its location, placing guests a short walk from both the beach and the town center. Many rooms have been newly furnished and are considered lovely, with some offering walk-in showers, while a bus stop right outside makes exploring the coast easy. Guests enjoy the entertainment, including quizzes, bingo, and nightly singers; still, some have found certain rooms to be on the smaller side.

The newly furnished rooms feature a lovely design. The manager was helpful and friendly. The bar staff did a great job too.
The steps leading up to the hotel looked a little dirty.

fantastic seafront stay!

friendly staffcomfy bedrelaxing vibeparking lack
i found the staff were great, and they really tried to help with anything. the beds were comfy, and the bar staff were really friendly. i really recommend this hotel as my room was big enough for what i needed. the food and service were good, and the bar had a nice, relaxing vibe.
i did think there was a lack of available parking during peak hours, a bit inconvenient.

great stay!

friendly staffexcellent foodgluten-free optionslarge dance floor
I stayed for a few nights and found the staff very friendly and helpful. the food was also excellent. I especially enjoyed the options available for gluten-free diets. the hotel connects to the prince regent hotel, which provides access to a large dance floor and additional entertainment. i appreciated the half-price bar nights in both hotels.
the parking situation was a bit limited, so i had to plan my arrivals and departures carefully.

this hotel has very good location because it is only a short walk to both the beach and the town centre. plus, the train station is just a few minutes away, giving easy access to nearby towns (very convenient!). a bus stop right outside the hotel offers further travel possibilities.

the rooms were clean and well-kept, a refurbishment seems to have been done recently (it shows!). the connection to the prince regent hotel gave access to additional facilities, including a large dance floor, which i found quite enjoyable.
