Every time an Agoda customer checks out of a hotel we send them an email asking them to write a review of their stay. This is the only way reviews can be submitted. Every review must then be approved by our content team before being posted on the Agoda website. Therefore, unlike many other travel sites, ALL Agoda reviews are certified and genuine.
We want you to pay the lowest possible rate for your room. If you have reserved a hotel room through Agoda, and then show us that you could book the same room, for the same dates, at a lower rate, that is viewable and bookable on another website, within 48 hours of booking your room with us, we will either match that rate or beat it.

I highly recommend this hotel. The rooms are fairly spacious compared to other hotels and they are beautifully decorated. The staff are very friendly and offer great customer service. The breakfast is the best I ever tasted in London.

The Russell is in a great location and the staff is incredible. They were helpful, knowledgable and fun.

It might seem expensive, but the perks of the great breakfast, the elegance and the location are worth it.

I invited my niece, on her way home from 2 years in the American Peace Core in West Africia, and her mother to join me in London for 6 days as I made my way home from an extended vacation. We had a lovely time in London. The Russell put us in the perfect location and state of mind to share a wonderful city.

- Various selections of Breakfast - Room space - Near Tube station - Good Hospitality from Restaurant

- Old decoration, look scary at night - Though various food but same eveyday, it's boring - Only 1 staff at reception, need to wait

Overall, Russell looks fine for me. Just comment on old decoration, delay in service. As I asked for checking baby cot (check-in at 9pm), no feedback from reception. Then I had to call for feedback til 12am, finally no baby cot available. 2nd night, the keycard didnot work then I and baby need to wait outside the room for 15 minutes and no feedback. I had to go to reception instead.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Only 3 minutes walk to Tube station and just cross the road for sightseeing tour
