We wouldn’t stay again or recommend it
Pros:

Beautiful building

Cons:

No one on the property. Cheap toilet paper. Tv and safe didn’t work. Such an expensive room should have another chair and small bench in bathroom alcove. Could hear the people above us both nights.Hotel was just okay

A unique stay in a beautiful setting; tremendous value!
Pros:

Location is excellent, with free and safe parking in a private lot just across the street - which is exceptional in Nashville. Very close to many wonderful and varied neighborhood restaurants and bars as well as the up and coming ones. Always lots to explore in this part of town. Compared to downtown, prices (even for ride share) overall are much more reasonable and places are friendlier. The Russell is calm, quiet, beautiful; the rooms are very spacious and always impeccably clean. Beds and linens very comfy. Local neighborhood architecture is lovely - a great place for a walk and a wander. Still, it's very convenient to lower broadway and other places you might want to go across the river. Although "front desk" is not on site, staff/mgmt are very easy to reach and very attentive. Customer service is wonderful.

Cons:

It's not a dislike, but be mindful that there is not an elevator for you to reach the upper floors. However, there are very spacious and light-filled rooms on the first floor, and there is a very convenient and efficient lift for your luggage to go to the upper floors.

Pros:

Cute boutique hotel

Cons:

The virtual ID check process — sending a photo via email or IM — did not feel secure. I’d prefer if there were alternatives, like a 3rd party verification.

Memorable
Pros:

I loved the unique charm and character of staying in a beautifully converted church. The architecture, history, and peaceful atmosphere made it such a special experience. It was wonderful to see how the original features were preserved while adding the comfort and luxury of a hotel. It was truly memorable and unlike staying anywhere else!

Pros:

This was such a unique hotel! It was absolutely gorgeous, and we loved that it was away from the hustle and bustle of broadway. The room was comfortable and clean. Would definitely stay here again!

Cons:

It was a bit odd not having any regular staff. This made it feel more like an Air B&B. Regardless, the staff was responsive through email.

Perfect stay in East Nashville - can't wait to come back
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay at The Russell! Everything about it was perfect, and we're so glad we chose to stay in East Nashville rather than downtown. The neighbourhood is fantastic, with beautiful, walkable streets and loads of great places to eat, drink and shop.

The Russell itself has been spectacularly renovated. The stained glass windows are stunning, and the quirky art, furniture and thoughtful design touches throughout give the place so much character and charm. Our room was cool, clean and comfortable, with lots of thoughtful little extras that were really appreciated. It was also incredibly quiet, and I had the best night's sleep!

Communication with staff was excellent, and parking, check-in and check-out were all a breeze. I also love that there's a social enterprise element to the hotel, making a stay here feel even more worthwhile.

The Russell was genuinely one of the highlights of our time in Nashville, and I can't wait to come back!

Beautiful boutique hotel, great location
Pros:

Beautiful restored church. Quiet and comfortable. We arrived early and used the free luggage lockers - so impressive. There are a lot of lockers and we fit 2 huge suitcases, an ice chest and backpack all in 1 locker, then enjoyed the town until check in time. We've never been in a room that has a Dyson hairdryer, Dyson fan and robes so soft! I loved the hairdryer so much, we bought one the next week. The toiletries were nice so I didn't even use my own. Great place, and we like that all profits go to help the homeless. Hosts were super responsive by text. Much appreciated!

Cons:

All was perfect. If we have to state a negative, possibly the parking lot across the street could be repaved.
