We have 3 days at the beginning of our trip and then another 5 days at the end,,,what do you know about the Russell hotel in Sydney for a family with two teenages who can't sleep together.....is the location good or should we look for something else

We stayed at the Russell for 4 nights in early January. We had a big room up at the very front of the hotel and it was hot so we had the windows open for the breeze - but also for the noise. Our travelling companions had a quiet (but hot) room at the back of the hotel. Their room was en suite - ours wasn't. I'm sure we slept better. The hotel is in a great location, fun wise. Which is why it is noisy. There is a Holiday Inn down the street and a Hyatt further on. Good luck!

We were booked to stay at the Russell lsat year. (you can do a seach on this forum) It is in a great location but already mentionned it has no air conditioning and can be noisey. In the meantime the new Westin hotel (about 15 min from the water)was offering a rate lower than the Russell so we stayed there instead. We had a tour of the Russell while in Sydney and it has character and location but the Westin was nicer and we would stay at the Westin again depending on price. <BR> <BR>Laurie

hi, we stayed at the harbour rocks just down the street from the russell. it also didn't have air condition, but i thought a less noisy location that the russell. they have family rooms (which we stayed in) with a queen bed and 2 singles, if this helps. <BR>the rocks is a great location to stay in. it was really convenient for just about anything, esp. the harbour. <BR>have fun.

Thank you so much for all your help,,I think I will check out the other hotels mentioned..
