The Rubens is an interesting hotel within walking distance of Victora station and Buckingham Palace. its decor is "old world colonial" which you either like or hate. There is a formal feel to the hotel, which again is down to personal preference. The service is excellent as is the food, but it can be on the pricey side. As the... more

We just stayed at the Rubens for 4 nights in the busiest time of the year for London, and I absolutely loved the entire place! The staff was fantastic, from the check-in to room service to the concierge. The rooms are very plush, although a bit small. The location is fabulous - right around the corner from Buckingham palace and... more

I don't really want to write a review about this Hotel; because I don't really want to let the Secret out of the bag. You are probably familiar with it's location very close to Victoria, so for exploring London it is excellent. It's one of the friendliest and most efficient Hotels I have stayed in for many a year. I... more

Stayed here for 5 nights with 3 teenage children. Easy walk even with suitcase from Victoria Station although getting out of the station and in the right direction quite confusing. Good location for Buckingham Palace, easy walk down the Mall to Trafalgar Square and National Gallery as well as Westminster Abbey. The room was just ok. Kind of heavy, ponderous... more

We come to London on holiday every August and since we discovered the Rubens we could never stay anywhere else! The location is fantastic, the rooms are comfortable and the staff are so welcoming and friendly - it really is like a home from home for us! Mr Hendry, the General Manger, Saiid, the bar Manager, the whole concierge team... more

My Husband and I, stayed at this hotel for one night, as a Theatre break (we recommend Billy Elliot at the Victoria Palace , only a few minutes walk from the hotel) We were welcomed by the friendly staff in reception, upon our arrival. Our room was not quite ready, and so we were shown into the bar area, and... more

We stayed for 2 nights for a 10th wedding anniversary. Our children (6 and 9) came with us. Excellent location, opposite the Royal Mews. The staff were very welcoming and attentive from the moment we arrived. Flowers had been previoulsy arranged and were waiting for my wife in our room, newly refurbished and plush. The room had a large bed... more
