The staff were all exceptionally helpful, welcoming, and friendly - from arriving at the front door throughout the whole stay. There was definitely a sense of "team" and everyone had a strong customer-focus. Food (we had breakfast) was excellent and again service was attentive and prompt. Loved the decoration - opulent and warm giving a boutique feel. We couldn't have asked for a better location - so close to all the tourist attractions we wanted to visit and close to tube & rail - Victoria station 2 mins walk away.
There was nothing we didn't like. Having read other reviews about rooms being small, we booked a King room which I'm glad we did because anything smaller would have been too small for us. As it was the room size was adequate. London is an expensive city so the price has to be seen in that context.

Rubens is a quintessential British experience, quirky and traditional with refined touches combined with good old fashioned service. It’s location at the Palace gave us the complete royal experience, very different from our previous visits to London.
Christmas was alive from the moment we entered the lobby. Staff are fully attentive from the doorman to concierge, greeting staff (champagne on arrival) and front desk.
Loved the musical entertainment in the grill and the gallery.
Our suite was well appointed and spacious by London standards. Quality linens, gold monogrammed fluffy towels, striped yellow wallpaper and heavy drapes characterise the regal theme. A large portrait of the queen mother hangs on the wall facing the bed.
Breakfast was a good selection, tables set formally with silver service and white cloths. We enjoyed the window view of hot breakfast underway in the grill kitchen.
Only things we could negatively comment on are that the property is gloomy (natural light is limited) and there was a weird smell in our bathroom.

We stayed here at the end of our Europe holiday when funds were a little short. We stayed in one of the cheaper rooms. We were still treated like royalty.
Room was clean and very nice.
Staff at reception & concierge were all so friendly and welcoming.

Loved the staff and the hotel itself
Room was very small. For the price and standard of hotel toiletries were poor.

Very Good
Location excellent, staff friendly and attentive with great reception personal who handled my moan about the initial room we were allocated professionally and totally to our satisfaction. The breakfast is superb and bar/lounge areas comfortable with old school charm.
The first floor room we were initially allocated should not be made available to the public - so small I felt claustrophobic and would have immediately changed hotels had we not been “upgraded”. The decor of the room was also terrible and the entrance hall as you come out of the first floor lift looks more becoming of a one star hotel.

Fair
location
There is no tea making facility in the room and no information provided for the charges for tea/coffer brought to us when we asked for kettle; the room was so cold during the night since the air conditioner was not working; when we gave the feedback to the reception as asked, it seems that it was all our fault that we should have been doing more to ask for help. Spending near £500 for one night definitely was not worth it

For the price expected better shower in bathroom. Curry in the restaurant and snack in bar expensive. But the food was fine.

How close to landmarks
Bar service, as it was so slow(Monday night) in the end went to the bar and ordered. Not what I expected as there were only 8 people in the bar

Great location and the staff are very friendly
It looks a little tired and potentially in the need of refreshing some of the wallpaper in the rooms

All members of the staff were exceptional. A special thanks to Istvan who provided great service at breakfast.
Breakfast was of high quality.
The room was small and had almost no natural light at all. It was not up to the standards of a five star hotel room.

Dining was excellent
Booked a twin room & ended up with a king split into two narrow singles. Complained & was told that IS how they define a twin. In fairness, they did give us a slightly larger room for next nights. Would’ve expected a ‘proper’ twin bedded room for money spent

We stayed here on our wedding night, as did both our parents and some of our families. The hotel staff were all lovely, and went out of their way to make the day special, with little touches which they didn’t have to do.
The hotel is beautiful and definitely gave a sense of occasion for our families, especially with the Christmas decorations.
There was a great selection for breakfast, which kept everyone happy. We booked a table at the bar the night before the wedding, and again the service was flawless. We also enjoyed the live music at the bar.
The location was perfect, and made it easy for everyone to get around London.
We were both very glad we chose the Rubens and grateful to all the staff who made the day perfect. This will always be a special place for us, and we’ll definitely be back!
