I was quite worried when I stopped at the Hotel when I saw the exterior, but received a warm welcome and was quite delighted with the clean and neat room. The single matrass I slept on was not good and I slept on top of the duvet for a softer comfort, since I felt the springs on the matrass, but the other single matrass which my brother slept on was very good and also the double bed my mother slept on. It would have been nice to have a communal area where we could relax, instead of having to sit in the room or even a nice braai area. The breakfast was VERY NICE and made up for the one night stay. Very good value for money, but the photo's on the booking site is misleading regarding the exterior of the Hotel!

The Russelhotel has nice clean rooms, spacious with tv and bathroom ensuite. We booked three rooms with double beds and found out that every room had an extra bed. A nice breakfast was included. Certainly worth visiting again.
