Top Russell Hotel Reviews

The Duke of Marlborough Hotel

The Duke of Marlborough Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Room was clean and tidy, Bar excellent and restaurant good. The Canaduan Receptionist was excellent My only issue is the shower in the room, it had a fabric curtain which was clingy and extremely annoying and leaked water on to the bathroom floor. Fabric curtains are a product of the 70s and should remain there.. the hotel needs to upgrade to modern shower doors."
