We LoVED our 4 nite stay at the Rubens! Room was a little small for an Executive King & bathroom was barely movable for one person, but the hotel & its location across from the Royal Mews was outstanding !

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Pros: • Convenient location to Underground (transportation) & tourist stuff • Nice interior design of hotel, including room • Doormen are very nice & helpful, especially Pascal • Staff is attentive • Bed is firm (could be a negative for some) • Nice bathroom tub faucet and sprayer, has ceiling-mounted “rain” shower-head • Staff will call you daily to see if all is ok; I found this nice, but disruptive to me (I requested they not call me) Cons: • Restaurant is highly overpriced (English breakfast is $68, and unremarkable) • Bathroom lighting is extremely bad; strong down-lights, a show-stopper for women putting on make-up or if you want to see how you look before you go out • Upon arrival, they disclose that they are automatically charging you a discretionary $20 per-day service charge for front-of-house staff; the fee is optional, but most will not go through the effort to have them reduce or remove the fee (this is another way for them to increase revenue) • E-mailed a question to Guest Experience Manager regarding directions, and it took her over a week to receive a reply; I had returned from London by then • Room maintenance is poor; air-conditioning was broken in room, sink clogged, and light bulbs burnt-out (Housekeeping should be monitoring condition of room instead of burdening guests to report and witness maintenance) • Paying extra for a view of the Royal Mews was a waste and a determent; you face a busy noisy street, and you can see virtually nothing of interest

What a fantastic property! The staff made our stay so comfortable and pleasant. They always greeted us and had a smile or sweet remark for us every day. We felt like we were staying with family (the ones you like). The room was larger than some of the British hotels that you may stay in; we would have liked a tad more storage but quite frankly the location can't be beaten (hello, King Charles is your neighbor). There are tons of eating establishments nearby, Victoria Station is a short distance away and there are tons of cabs. Cabs are so much better than Uber; you get tons of information and sightseeing done with them that you just don't get from Uber. All in all, we are so happy we stayed at The Rubens! Until next time!

We enjoyed our stay at Rubens at the Palace. The room in the end was much smaller than I thought it would be. I reserved a queen and the bed was a full. Very tight for two adults. The bed was also very short! Nicely decorated rooms, with great amenities. Overall, we had a nice stay. The building is beautiful and the staff was very polite and helpful. The door man Pascal was a delight! Great location!
