Rubens At The Palace

Veldig sentralt, kort veg til Buckingham Palace og andre severdigheter. God standard på restaurant og rom, litt trangt på rommet med en enorm seng som tok veldig mye av plassen (King Room). God mottagelse og oppfølging av personalet.

Personalet kunne hatt bedre kunnskaper om aktuelle hendelser i byen og transport til og fra flyplassen.

Hotel was fantanstic!!! Excellent room .

I read beforehand that the rooms are small, and indeed they are very small. I was travelling alone and would stay again if alone but find it too small for my wife and I. There is no minibar which I feel is a shame. The safe is on the floor of the wardrobe, whilst the tea making facilities are also almost on the floor and thus both are not practical to be used. The hotel needs to build small shelves to raise up the level to make them usable. The location is very good but there is any underpass with steps to go through when coming from Victoria station - beware if you have heavy luggage.

Excellent service from everyone at the hotel. Very helpful and accommodating staff at the front desks and lounges (especially Frank).

Construction across the street was incredibly loud and constant throughout the day and night.

We had a great time and thank you so much for the complementary chocs & champagne. We certainly did not expect it as we had to cut our stay short to one night instead of two. This was because of the airline changing our flight to Prague. We will definitely stay at Rubens again next year and for longer - we would not even consider another hotel as everything about the hotel is perfect.

No noise despite being on Buckingham Palace Road, the staff were willing to assist with every request.

The hotel was in a central postion with easy access to all attractions and shops

Excellant staff, cheerful & helpful. Carvery meal and english breakfast were first class and room was good, especially size of bed. Very good location for sightseeing and underground. A fabulous place

Price of cappacino a bit over the top but can be overlooked given all other factors

The location

1- Old and poorly maintained. The timberwork of the corridor floor creaked alarmingly under the worn-out carpet with every step. 2: I asked a room with a view to the Mews and was given one with a view to a shabby courtyard. 3: Having one's Credit Card data was not sufficient guarantee for them. They charge the stay upon reservation (this was advised by Booking) but they also would "freeze" a generous amount on you card in case you you want to debit to your room account any extra services (Booking does not warn of this) 4- For 194 GBPs without breakfast, the room was shockingly small (barely 11 sq.metres). 5- The headbord uphostery had a huge stain in the middle (I took photos). 6- The toilet smelled heavily of stagnant water

Comfortable and quiet in a very handy location. I did think it was a bit over priced, but that is London for you!

We liked it's location--directly across the street from Buckingham Palace, within walking distance of historic attractions, theatre district, and restaurants. City and tourist bus lines were directly in front of the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Location, curtesy and competent staff; restaurant and food

Uncomfortable bed and the most creaky and noisy floors in the room of any hotel stay and we have stayed in a lot of old hotels
