We required a hotel near to the Houses of Parliament. The Rubens is in a very good location. As we entered the hotel our bags were taken from us and we checked in. First impressions count and we were indeed impressed with the service and friendliness. Our room was to say the least, very small. No where to put our... more

I'm an American who lived in London for 2 years, and currently live in Dublin. I travel to London for business on a semi-regular basis, and as such am looking mainly for a friendly hotel, conveniently located to my company with the needed amenities. The Rubens hotel fit the bill in every way. In fact the hotel was so pleasant... more

What a great hotel! We stayed here on the first leg of our European honeymoon jaunt. The staff made our stay at The Rubens the best of the hotels we stayed at while in London as well as on the Continent. Other reviewers comment about the small rooms, and I agree that they are tiny. However, the size of the... more

My 16 year old niece and I stayed three nights at the Rubens. I booked a Royal Room for her (I requested the Queen Victoria and got it) and a king size room for myself with an exercise bike in the room and a view of the Royal Mews. Both rooms were small (hers was tiny), but beautifully decorated and... more

Certainly. 100% PROS: -The young man that assisted to our room was a delight, very helpful, very polite, staff always made us feel welcome returning to the hotel each... more

Given the fair pricing of this 4 star luxury boutique and its location near Buckingham Palace, Green Park, St. James's Park and Victoria Station, I decided to give the Rubens a try. I stayed a few nights in an Executive King Room with a friend and one night in a Standard by myself. I was not disappointed and while there... more

This was our fifth stay at Rubens and everytime it has been a wonderfully relaxing experience. We have never had any cause for complaint about the welcome or the service, which is always warm and friendly. There is a fabulous choice at breakfast. If you want a special evening meal the Library restaurant is excellent, where the food is first... more

We stayed here for a few nights in 2006 and could not have been happier with this hotel. Our room was newly decorated and looked exactly like the rooms featured on the hotel's website. Great location -- there are good pubs and restaurants nearby and it is a stone's throw from Buckingham Palace. We highly recommend this hotel. more
