The hotel is in a central Maidstone location, offering a comfortable stay with friendly staff. The room, though suitable for those avoiding stairs, had a very soft mattress that may not be ideal for everyone. The dine-in experience had its ups and downs, with attentive staff but some curious menu choices. Overall, the Russell Hotel provides decent value for money in a traditional English setting.

My stay at the hotel was a different experience. The rooms, though a bit tired with some paint chips and loose panels, still had a lovely high ceiling and Georgian grandeur. However, the layout was a bit odd and the cleanliness was questionable with used side plates and stained tablecloths. Overall, it was nice enough.

The hotel has a charming Georgian grandeur with clean rooms that need updating. While lacking air conditioning, the pleasant rooms were sufficient for a mid-September stay. The service was slightly flustered and could use improvement. The location is convenient but affected by noise disturbances. The dining experience was satisfactory except for leftover rolls. Overall, the hotel offers value for money with room for enhancement.
