I’ve been to London many times now and this hotel is one of the best I’ve stayed at. The location is pretty close to perfect, the services and staff are wonderful.
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 rooms was offset by the attentive service, the great location, and the overall charm of the property. No where else in Europe did the staff take the time to remember our names, where we were from, or make recommendations at the bar knowing what our favorites drinks were. It was also the only property that gave us complimentary bottled water - sparkling and still - each day.
Spectacular!
