The amenities in the room are excellent, the staff were all very courteous, helpful and attentive, the location is most convenient for places I want to go. The room however is much smaller than I would like, but next time I will choose a bigger room. I will be back and recommend this hotel to my friends.

The reception and all interface was excellent. In several of my previous visits I was distressed to find an arrogance or indifference in the staff. It was delightful to find that this had now all, quite suddenly evaporated,

We LoVED our 4 nite stay at the Rubens! Room was a little small for an Executive King & bathroom was barely movable for one person, but the hotel & its location across from the Royal Mews was outstanding !

8/10 Very good

Pros: • Convenient location to Underground (transportation) & tourist stuff • Nice interior design of hotel, including room • Doormen are very nice & helpful, especially Pascal • Staff is attentive • Bed is firm (could be a negative for some) • Nice bathroom tub faucet and sprayer, has ceiling-mounted “rain” shower-head • Staff will call you daily to see if all is ok; I found this nice, but disruptive to me (I requested they not call me) Cons: • Restaurant is highly overpriced (English breakfast is $68, and unremarkable) • Bathroom lighting is extremely bad; strong down-lights, a show-stopper for women putting on make-up or if you want to see how you look before you go out • Upon arrival, they disclose that they are automatically charging you a discretionary $20 per-day service charge for front-of-house staff; the fee is optional, but most will not go through the effort to have them reduce or remove the fee (this is another way for them to increase revenue) • E-mailed a question to Guest Experience Manager regarding directions, and it took her over a week to receive a reply; I had returned from London by then • Room maintenance is poor; air-conditioning was broken in room, sink clogged, and light bulbs burnt-out (Housekeeping should be monitoring condition of room instead of burdening guests to report and witness maintenance) • Paying extra for a view of the Royal Mews was a waste and a determent; you face a busy noisy street, and you can see virtually nothing of interest
