View is ok-main reason to stay here is the history. Great pictures on the walls. Bathroom has been very well remodeled to a high standard. Expected creaky floors add to the charm. Nice restaurant with good food although my medium rare steak came out medium well. Would be helpful for them to better inform re:parking. (Across the street at the rear; one small area in the front to pull into for check in-not even noticed until the next day!)

We loved the clean and well-appointed room. We had dinner and lunch in the restaurant - just fantastic. We would come back here just for a dining holiday!

Wonderful stay

Nice room, very comfy bed. But wi-fi was out in our bedroom, it was re-set by reception. However Netflix is not included on the TV, you have to use your own login. Which we couldn’t do as ours is set up in UK. Surely the hotel can afford Netflix for guests? Also, found the dinner very bland. I had a seafood chowder which arrived with a large piece of local bread in it. The chowder was thin and lacking taste, plus a decent portion was missing due the bread in the middle. Disappointing

Heritage style property in a beautiful location

The Duke has a wonderful restaurant with great views of the bay. Such a pretty spot.

Wonderful location on the waterfront and close to everything.

Stylish ambiance and old world charm made this a great place for rest and relaxation.

Beautiful unique town and special hotel

Dom has a great menu to choose from or else there are plenty of dining options or a supermarket in walking distance.

Beautifully presented historic hotel, right on the harbour front, well equipped spacious room, wonderful comfy bed

classic heritage hotel with a unique location

Historic charm, wonderful location, right on the waterfront, an icon.

This is a classic hotel in a stand-out location. The dinner we had was very good and at a reasonable price. The room was comfortable and quiet and the bed very cozy. My only concern is the lack of seating available from the bar at peak times and there was a substantial queue at the bar. The staff though were always very friendly.

Overall package was the best in Russel and we felt it was competitively priced.

Its always comfortable and very central on the waterfront. Walking distance to shops, restaurants and ferry. A lovely historic place. Also the staff were very friendly and helpful

Just perfect!

Always love staying at The Duke . Being winter spent a bit more time in the hotel so booked a larger room with balcony . Very comfortable with the usual Duke high level of appointment

Lovely spacious room comfortable bed , very clean.

Honest bicultural heritage on a daily basis. Celebrating the history even though it was revealingly disgusting behaviour by the colonists. It is great to reflect that, from such treacherous behaviour by the people from the invading territories, the indigenous people survived and their stories are now being told from a lived perspective. The Duke of Marlborough is a memorial to all that has happened, is rich in history and has an honest place in the present and the future. Great work team. I loved the daily newsletter which celebrates biculturalism.
