The property was great, the staff was amazing. The only concern was the hotel wasn’t full yet we were given a room surrounded by construction. For the first three days the only folks we saw on our floor was the one construction guy (very nice and worked quietly) but we could see every room around us was being refurbished except ours which was likely next. Finally saw others on our floor on our last night so it made us feel a little safer. I can’t say enough about the bellmen. They are fantastic and I would definitely stay again, I just would hope they wouldn’t stock us in the middle of the constrained if they weren’t full. Location was amazing!

A lovely blend of old and new!

A really classic hotel with a lot of history, they do a good job of keeping the deco traditional yet keeping it clean and classy. The staff were all incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, shout out to Raj for a smooth check in and shout out to the New York Bar for great service, very knowledgeable staff, delicious food and pretty unique cocktails! Thanks for starting off a really memorable night for us! The only thing I would mention would be there was a slight bar smell coming from the air conditioning vents in the evening and the plug in the bath would not remain up so would struggle to release the water. A small price to pay for the stay, we would love to visit again! Thank you!

Lovely stay in great location

Lovely weekend stay for my husband and me. Our room was small but given it is in central London, not surprising. It was well appointed including coffee and tea supplies and nice toiletries. Location is perfect - very close to Buckingham Palace but on a quieter street so the sidewalks weren't crazy busy and we didn't notice any noise. Service was top notch and we felt well cared for.

The Rubens Hotel was a fabulous place to spend our vacation. The entire staff were all ready to help us with anything we needed. In the morning, we would be leaving for the day and the doorman would ask us what was on our itinerary for the day. Upon return, we were asked about our day. Such sweet people! The food was delicious and the wait staff very nice. A highlight was Royal Afternoon tea, which was a delicious event with the prefect view. Thank you to the Rubens and their staff!
