“Beautiful Location, Beautiful Hotel, Beautiful Food.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

Beautiful hotel. Room although quite small for a King room was beautifully furnished, very well maintained and very comfortable. The staff were excellent, they rang the room after we checked in to see if we were happy with the room and needed anything else. Food was 100% best Breakfast at a hotel I have ever eaten. And a lovely front lounge with a Piano player that you could fall asleep listening to. Hotel let us leave our luggage in storage after we checked out so we could go out before heading home. Cannot praise this hotel enough.

My first time at the Rubens and I was immediately struck by how helpful the staff were. The room, although not huge, was beautifully clean and all fabrics and finishes really well maintained. The bed was extremely comfortable - all in all a really pleasant stay.

“Great Staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

person found this review helpful

We found the hotel to be very comfortable and the staff excellent, helpful and polite.

We had a double room and which was a good size with a very large, comfortable bed. The bathroom was modern with a great shower.

Location is good, very near Buckingham Palace and Victoria Station and within walking distance (15-20 mins) of Big Ben and the river. The walk down Birdcage Walk towards the river is very pleasant.

We ate in the Library restaurant which was a good standard and comfortable. We had breakfast served in our room for a change and it was top drawer and huge.

I'd definately use this hotel again.
