Breakfast was a shambles, waited ages for a member of staff to acknowledge us, (wish we had not bothered).Table cloth dirty, cutlery stained, and the food was... 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....

We travelled to Weymouth on 22nd February. The Russell Hotel is one of a series of seafront hotels. As we had paid a relatively small amount for our three night half board stay, we didn't expect too much. We were pleasantly surprised. The room ,which was sea facing was very pleasant and extremely clean. All usual things were in the... More
