Exceptional service and a beautiful hotel with fabulous decor. Royal double bedroom was small but exquisitely furnished with a spacious gorgeous bathroom.

This is an exceptionally well located hotel for walking London. The hotel has lovely rooms and excellent staff, Robert in particular, who works the door and lobby, is so gracious and helpful and has a great smile! It makes you feel at home, being in a space that clearly prioritizes making their customers happy and who are always welcoming.
Nothing, it’s lovely.

The location was great and the room was very comfortable and spacious. We have stayed before and loved the atmosphere.
Breakfast was not as good as last time we visited, fruit wasn’t as fresh and the bread wasn’t as good quality felt a little like corners were being cut.

Disappointing
the breakfast was excellent and the service staff. Location was good so we could visit everything by walking.
The room the hotel gave us was really a shame !!!!! super small, dirty, old, smelly. It looked like a basement as the only small window the room had was covered by something and you only see the wall !!! no air circulation !! the bathroom was really old, dirty and in need of renovations . The bed was super small. I reserved this hotel because it is ranked as a 5 star hotel but this is totally wrong !!! I travelled with my sister and we asked for separe beds weeks in advance, we arrived in the morning to do the check in and pay at 10 am and we got the room at 5 pm so the staff had more than enough time to provide the room we have booked but unfortunately the hotel decided to give us that horrible room that it looks like a 2 star hotel ! immediately I went to speak with the receptionist ( I don't remember her name unfortunately but she has blond long hair and she seemed well experienced )who was in charge in that moment and she was really rude and surprised by my complain. She expressed no intention to collaborate to find a solution and insisting saying that the room had nothing to complain about and that it was not their responsibility if we didn't get two separate beds. After repeating my discomfort about the unfair situation and dissapointment , she only proposed to give us another room with one double bed only !!! (during 4 nights )with the additional cost of 25 pounds per day considering having a special price for us ! Of course I accepted paying more as it was completely unacceptable to stay 4 nights in that tiny room. Since that day, no-one from the staff came to ask us if we were satisfied or not even a formal apology about the bad management of the hotel and situation . The hotel also is located at the end of the Buckingham Palace for your information if you are dreaming about having a full palace view . you can only see the entrance to the horse stable .

Everything, location, standard of housekeeping, exceptional food, wide breakfast options and above all the staff. They make it friendly, helpful, will support every request and combine to give a service with genuine care and warmth. My 6th year staying and I will return again next year.
Nothing. Some rooms are smaller but this is more than compensated for in the amenities available.

The staff and location were excellent
The restaurant menu was very confusing and the waitress did very little to help us understand. We wound up paying 29.50 pounds for literally 2 eggs that didn't include anything else just two eggs. Would stay at the hotel again but would never eat there again. Many wonderful restaurants within walking distance

We had a wonderful stay at Rubens at the Palace. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and they really made us feel welcome throughout. The room was beautiful, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options, and the location next to Victoria Station made everything so easy. Would definitely recommend!

Room was a good size and comfortable, the location was good, breakfast was good but expensive.
The shower gel bottle was not filled & ran out half way through a shower.
