We strongly recommend staying here!

The Russell was a perfect place for a long getaway weekend! The location was unbeatable and was close to downtown Nashville and other hot spots. The hotel is very clean and the staff also made the effort to text me while I was there to make sure everything was okay. The next time we decide to take a trip here, this will be my first choice. Thank you again!!

Lovely building and neighborhood. Pretty lobby and large room and bathroom. They were able to be reached by phone until 5, not after.

Area was not safe looking. I was afraid to leave my truck in the lot across the street, so I found another hotel with valet parking

First time staying in a spot like this. Only place I wanna stay now. Loved it. Cheers!

A truly uniques experience. In a quiet neighborhood. Beautiful, creative and well done. Had everything we needed and lots of little touches including a snack basket and plush robes. Loved the stain glass! Parking was easy with no trouble getting where we wanted to go.

Top notch stay! Yummy snack basket on arrival. And even a bottle of sparkly. Great attention to detail. Their shampoo and conditioner were awesome.

The owners have turned this former church into a beautiful place to stay. It is a gorgeous space and very modern. The reason I am only giving it 4 stars is because the space did have some quirks we didn't love. We booked a room with a skylight so that we could get some light, but the skylight looked into the roof of the building, not directly to outdoors so the room was quite dark, even with all the lights on. Also the space with the toilet has a door, but the shower didn't. Given there isn't a door for the restroom space at all, it made for a chilly shower. We lucked out with quiet neighbours so no noise issues at night, but we could hear conversions in other rooms quite clearly. There was a lovely welcome basket and even though there are no staff at the property they were easilu reached by text.

Unique and fun place to stay. Very close to Nashville nightlife but away from the noise of the downtown. Had a great night’s sleep in this quiet neighbourhood. Parking was really easy. Would definitely stay again.

We loved The Russell. The hotel is beautiful and is in a lovely quiet neighborhood in East Nashville. The building was an old church that has been restored and converted in to 3 floors of rooms. It’s a family owed and operated business that gives a portion of the proceeds to the homeless ministry in Nashville. That alone is enough to sell me, but the rooms are so nice and very comfortable. It’s a short drive to downtown or an easy Uber ride. If available, I’ll be booking this hotel every trip to Nashville. The Photo Booth was an unexpected surprise and so much fun! Thank you guys for a wonderful stay!

Loved our stay here. This boutique hotel is amazing not only for what it has to offer (comfort, quietness, cleanliness, location), but also for what it does for the local community (giving away a portion of each booking to the homeless community). It is beautiful how they have converted the church into a hotel, and the level of service was top-notch for having no staff member on the premises. The level of communication and thoughtfulness was outstanding, and everything about the stay from moment of check-in to check-out was smooth and superb. I cannot recommend this hotel enough to everyone. I will definitely stay here again the next time I am in Nashville.

A beautiful boutique hotel in a lovely neighborhood.

Really cool space with stained glass and exposed brick and beam. Room was somewhat cozy, but well appointed and functional.

Loved this hotel! Definitely staying here again! I’ll be recommending it to friends and family too!

This place is an incredible inspiration! The thoughtfulness included in guest hospitality and convenience mixed with the community connection and support is unprecedented. I’m in love with everything this place is and what it stands for. Thank you!

The minute we pulled in we loved the area around Russell. The parking lot was so close and never full so we could easily come and go. There were bars, coffee shops, restaurants and shopping all within 10 minutes of walking. We ended up staying in East Nashville more than downtown with how nice the area was. The hotel was clean and quiet. The rooms were nice sized and the beds were amazing. We will be back!

Such a cute place! Incorporating all the little details from the past such as the stained glass, exposed beams, church pews etc adds so much to the ambiance. It is so charming and a perfect place for a romantic getaway!

This place is amazing! It’s super clean and it honestly gives you very different vibes than your typical hotel! Will definitely be stay here again! My wife loved the charm of it too!

This hotel is very cute. It is clean and has a safe parking lot. Very easy check in. Couldn't ask for anything else.

If we ever have plans to return to Basement East for a concert, we will definitely stay at The Russell. We choose it because it's only a 2 minute walk to the venue. Our room was a bit on the quirky side in terms of decor and layout, but we like that. And, although this is a contactless hotel, we felt well cared for during our visit. We received texts to make sure we had everything we needed, and we had water, snacks, and a bottle of sparkling waiting for us in the room. The hotel has a nice ice machine that also dispenses water and ice water. Plus they provide free parking right across the street! All in all a very pleasant stay.

The Russell is amazing! So beautifully unique, our family absolutely loved staying here. They have thought of all the personal touches and modern advances. This place is at the top of list of places to come back to stay.

Neat boutique hotel supporting a good cause

Great stay l!

What a unique venue, I loved that they kept the original church and used the church theme to carry through the entire building. The room was spacious, fun, very well stocked and had everything you need for a relaxed visit. Great location with lots of food and drink venues within walking distance, safe and I will stay there again!

Quiet location walkable to many awesome restaurants on Woodland Ave. Easy check in and check out. Love the self service idea.

Amazing, very unique hotel. Although you don’t have reception, everything is done online and through the phone. Lots of welcoming and supporting messages were received prior to and through out the stay. Very convenient no key system. Clean room, comfortable bed, very quite, champaign and snacks were nice touches:) I must mention that coffee downstairs was incredible ! 5 star quality! Definitely a must stay!!!!

Super cute, very convenient and easy check-in/check-out process.

I cannot say more good things about The Russell! It was the cleanest, cutest, and most thought out place that I've ever stayed! Every single detail was amazing. It was also in a safe part of town with easy/free parking!

Loved staying at The Russell! Beautiful old building remodeled in a fun hip way with all the modern amenities. Great location with free parking. We’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful experience. Easy check in/out, door codes via text/email. Super clean, functional, and unique. Firm beds. Appreciated the goody basket and guide book. Appreciate easy parking, quiet getaway from the loud/over crowded downtown but not too far away. Really love that part of proceeds goes to a good cause and incorporation of the church artwork and artifacts.

The Russell is an exquisitely adorned church transformed into an absolutely lovely hotel. No concierge on site, with easy online check-in. Wonderful treat basket and champagne complimentary in the room. Our room had queen sized bunk beds which was perfect for my son and I. A Dyson hair dryer in the bathroom!! Excellent stop on our adventure. Highly recommend.

The Russell was a church that has been converted into a hotel. There is no staff on site and check-in and out is done by text/email. That being said, it was effortless checking in and out. There is no elevator but there is a dumb waiter for your luggage. Great care has been taken to make sure your visit is awesome. The hotel is not downtown, but about 2 miles away from the Country Music Hall of Fame. We chose to Uber and it was less than $8….. parking downtown was more expensive than that. A large portion of your bill goes to help others. If I’m ever in Nashville again; I’ll definitely stay here again!!
