My 10 year old daughter and I came to the Rubens for four nights and had an absolute blast! The accommodations were well-maintained, the staff were delightful and exceedingly helpful, and the location could not be beat. Only a block from the Royal Mews, two from Buckingham Palace, a stone's throw from the Victoria tube station, and walkable to Westminster/Parliament and a lot of other tourist locations. We did not eat at the hotel other than afternoon tea on one of the days we were there, but the food was delicious and the waitress was delightful; the "princess" tea was perfect for my hot chocolate-loving daughter. We will absolutely come back to stay at the Rubens again for a future trip!

The service is unmatched. The breakfast was WOW!!! However the room was a bit musty and the soap they use just stinks.

We stayed for a weekend and had the most magical time. It was lovely to get proper 5 star service from the minute we walked in to the time we had to check out.

We enjoyed our stay at Rubens at the Palace.
The room in the end was much smaller than I thought it would be. I reserved a queen and the bed was a full. Very tight for two adults. The bed was also very short! Nicely decorated rooms, with great amenities.
Overall, we had a nice stay. The building is beautiful and the staff was very polite and helpful. The door man Pascal was a delight! Great location!

I was so unsure how to rate this hotel...it is priceier than normal for us but as a special 40th anniversary treat we stayed for 2 nights...not really the hotels fault, but their elevator was broken
What most bothered me was that there was no senior staff in the lobby directing everyone to the staff elevator...they said you had to walk up...we did 3x to the 4th floor
then a nice young bellman took pity on me...I am 66 years old with 2 recently broken legs and said take the staff elevator...this should have been available to all...not only randomly
As I could not walk down for a glass of wine, I ordered room service...1 glass...18 Pounds and a 7 pound 50 delivery charge...$50 Canadian dollars for a glass of wine
I would have thought that with the lift broken they could have waived that
Nice room...incredibly expensive drinks and sandwiches
$180 CDN for 3 glasses of wine and 1 sandwich in lobby bar
Broken elevator ruined what was a very special weekend
4.5
Fabulous hotel, awesome location and the staff are friendly and extremely helpful. The only negative part of our stay was the out of service elevator. We were on the 3rd floor and it was a bit of a climb after a long day of walking…but we managed.

This was our second stay at the Rubens at the Palace. Both times we brought two of our granddaughters. It is a beautiful hotel in a great location. It has the intimacy of a small hotel with all the amenities. We especially love the breakfast room.
4.5
This is very nice hotel. The best part was the staff, specifically Jason at the New York Bar. He's more than a professional. He is a natural. He took time to ask what we liked and made works of art for us. To call them cocktails doesn't do them justice. You can see his passion for his work in every drink he makes.

Great location, entire staff was friendly and attentive!

Nice to return to a familiar place.
4.5
Beautiful property however the room they put us in originally was DRAMATICALLY different than the pictures. We asked to be changed and they did so however we weren’t in our room until after 4:30pm. I dined at the restaurant and mentioned the dining discount. They couldn’t apply it and said it would be resolved at checkout. It wasn’t. Nice property but next time I’ll book direct so the quality of the room and service are matched.
Would definitely stay again and location can’t be beat!

Olivia the manager and the bell hops were nice. The others at the desk were useless. Our keycode didnt work 2 days in a row. We had to get new keys to get back in our room. the bathroom door hinge was loose and wouldnt close. I told them about it but they never came to fix it. Our phone charger cord went missing from the nightstand after a cleaning. Rooms were tiny. Outlets were positioned poorly so water kettle for instant coffee had to go on floor next to bathroom where you needed curling iron plugged in at same time when getting ready. Btw, it was broken and wouldnt turn on. Also stubbed toe on door stopper located in center of floor isle when accessing bed. Bed was a double when we ordered a queen. No mini fridge available. No room to keep suitcase open so had to remove suitcase from Closet every time i needed something. No drawers to put clothes away. Bathroom door just clears toilet so no more than 1 person in bathroom at a time. Bathroom door should open out of bathroom rather than in but the engineers who designed this place were not too smart. Wouldnt serve me takeout coffee from bar at arrival. Complimentary coffee in lobby only available starting at 7am so leaving earlier for day tours, you need to go to a cafe 1st. It should start at 6am.
4.5
Amazing service from all of the staff at the hotel. Truly exceptional!!! Also a fantastic location right in the heart of London and easy to get around town otherwise. Rooms are definitely smaller when compared to American rooms, but have a lot of ambiance and personality nonetheless. Would definitely recommend for your London stay!

The hotel is in a great location, across the street from Buckingham Palace and near Hyde Park and other attractions. However, the hotel is outdated and the rooms are very small and lack basic amenities such as refrigerators and ironing boards and irons.
Also, the rooms follow are very classic theme which many people love but I prefer a more modern style.
