The location was perfect. The room was good. The bathroom was great including both a tub and shower. The Concierge staff was outstanding. The towels were large and soft. The bed and linens were way above average. Very close to the principal London tourist locations as well as Victoria Rail and Underground stations. Our stay was for 8 nights and we would recommend the Rubens to other travelers looking for high quality accommodations in a great location.

Although small the room was extremely comfortable - crisp cotton sheets and beautifully decorated. Great and attentive staff too but the real star was the food from room service - outstanding quality!

Beautiful hotel in a great location. Our room was small, but adequate, with all the amenities, and nicely decorated. In-room coffee was a bonus. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

We have stayed at this hotel for many years, we either run the London Marathon or support, and have always recommended it to friends because of the location. It is a little pricey, but sometimes you can get deals. We have always found the staff very helpful, and we have only had to complain once in 7 years, and that was because the booking company had double booked us on 2 rooms (there was 12 of us stopping) and our friends were put in another luxury hotel just around the corner.

Attention of staff excellent. Room very well appointed. Too much furniture in a relatively small room made it difficult to move around. Drinks excessively priced.

Quirky hotel. Good staff and good price for a London hotel. Close to Victoria so useful as a base and very close to Buckingham Palace for sight seeing. Not many eating places close by. Some but only open Mon to Fri for lunch.

Rubens At The Palace is a luxurious hotel which is all you would expect in a hotel near to Buckingham Palace. It was ideally situated for our family get together, daughters and families coming from Brighton, Horncastle and Worcester to visit the Palace, Westminster and the Eye. The staff were always attentive, the room was very well appointed and the breakfast substantial and delicious. Thank you. Expensive especially a cup of coffee.

The staff were extremely helpful. I made a passing comment to the restaurant manager that the view from our room wasn't as good as on our previous stay, and within half an hour we had been upgraded to a king size room. We also mentioned that it was my birthday, and a card and a small box of chocolates appeared in our room, and at breakfast the next day we were given complimentary champagne. What's not to like?

Always plenty of staff in the lobby ready to help Double room was a good size, but my mother's single room was only the size of the bed plus a 4-inch margin for shuffling round!

Very good location, friendly service, clean, nice hotel. It is relatively small giving you a feel of family hotel. Good choice if you want to visit London. My room was very small (even for London standards). Way to small for a 4 star hotel.

Nice! The cozy hotel for town trip or traveling to business meetings.Well-equipped hotel. Good location, a few minutes' walk from Victoria Station. Comfortable and clean, very good choice for London. People and situations are different but in general it is a good hotel. If lucky and nothing bad will happen, should be guaranteed a positive experience.

I have stayed at the Rubens many times and standards are high and consistantly so. I will continue to stay at the Rubens when in London on business, as long as room price and budget permit.

Charming hotel with a warm, personable staff who are always prepared with recommendations for food & transporation. They catered to our every need. Our birthday trip to London could not have been better! The proximity to Buckingham Palace, theatres, underground and parks makes it a wonderful choice if you're looking for a good launching point for a weekend or longer. Nice piano bar for decompressing after a long day, 2 good restaurants, comfortable rooms, funky decor. We are already planning a return in a few months. Highly recommend it.
