DK Eyewitness
"A lovely oldfashioned hotel sits above a historic pub, the Fortune of War."
Time Out
"With a great location in the middle of the Rocks... the Russell still somehow manages to feel more like a cosy country B&B than a city-centre hotel."

Rough Guide
"A small hotel with popular shared-bathroom rooms, plus en-suite options; the priciest have views of Circular Quay."

"A family-run hostel in a great position in the trendy (and quieter) part of Potts Point, this converted mansion is sunny, airy and brightly painted."

"Well-maintained, secure little place which feels more like a share house (albeit a rather clean one!) run by sisters Effie and Sasha, rather than a backpackers."
