Ce qu'en disent des voyageurs

Les voyageurs louent le personnel exceptionnel et accueillant, ainsi que l'emplacement central à quelques pas de Buckingham Palace, tout en notant le style traditionnel de l'hôtel et les chambres généralement compactes. Dans l'ensemble, Rubens At The Palace offre confort et caractère plutôt que minimalisme moderne.

Le petit-déjeuner, le thé de l'après-midi, ainsi que les restaurants English Grill et Curry Room sont très appréciés, mais beaucoup estiment que la restauration et la blanchisserie sur place sont trop chers, avec des frais de service discrétionnaires et des frais quotidiens ajoutés aux factures. La propreté est généralement irréprochable, bien que certains clients aient signalé des lacunes et des équipements vieillissants. Les ascenseurs sont petits et ont parfois été hors service. Il n'y a pas de salle de sport sur place (l'accès à proximité peut entraîner un supplément), et le Wi-Fi peut être instable pour certains. Attendez-vous à un séjour classique, axé sur le service, avec un charme patrimonial.

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!

This hotel offers it all! Excellent service from arrival until departure from all staffmembers. Located right next to Buckingham Palace (2 min. walk) and St. James' Park and 5 minute walk to Victoria Station and Underground this is the place to be if you fancy central location. The English Grill restaurant at the hotel serves a magnificent Beef Wellington and the possibility to enjoy a English tea experience at the hotel. I will select this hotel again any day of the week and twice on sundays.

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

Our stay at the Rubens was overall quite nice. The room was clean and tidy and equipped with everything we needed. The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful. We would stay here again if we\'re ever in the area. Our only complaint would be that the listing specifically states "Free use of nearby fitness center". However, upon our stay at the hotel, we were told by the front desk that it would be an additional 30 GBP per person to use the partner facilities.

I don't think there's enough room for me to tell you how fabulous this place is. From The Curry Room to Rosie, Charlie, Andrew and more! Thanks to them it was the best Christmas I've had in a long time. They go the extra mile 😁. The food, the hospitality, the kindness....Everything was just perfect. And if you need a cab, the French doorman is your man! Lol Thank you all very very much. I will definitely be back!!

Stepping in to the hotel was a breath of fresh air very welcoming and helpful staff beautiful surroundings. The rooms are small as the building is old like the majority of hotel rooms in London, but the bed was comfortable. The room is quiet and clean and we enjoyed nice touches like slippers by the bed chocolates on the pillow classical music playing when you walk in your room and a rope refreshing and relaxing. And an unbeatable location. Directly behind Buckingham Palace close to Victoria station in museums.

A traditional hotel within walking distance of the main attractions. The hotel’s staff are excellent, so welcoming and helpful. It’s the staff that really make this hotel a good place to stay. Rooms can be rather small, even the superior rooms. Ours had frosted glass in the window as there was no outlook. But this is central London and even the top hotels often have no outlook from their windows. The rooms are clean and well equipped and offer all you need for your stay. Breakfast was very good with a wide choice of freshly prepared food.

Beautiful property in an awesome location with very friendly and attentive staff. We stayed one night and then returned for another three nights the same week. The room on the first night was so small we could hardly walk around the tiny bed, so much so that we questioned whether we had been given a single room. It was also very in need of redecorating. The room we had for the last three nights was nicer bigger and the bed was a standard queen or double so we could actually sleep. I think people should understand this is a very old historic building and it is quite a different, albeit enjoyable experience when compared to modern hotels.

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.

The location is very good and convenient, with polite friendly stars. The rooms are small, even the superior king, Wi-Fi was slow, and the bathrooms are dated. One really annoying feature was the automatic £15/night gratuity for the staff added to the bill. They did remove it when asked, but should never have been added in the first place. Given the cost of the rooms, they should pay the staff more

We were lucky to be able to check in early, staff were friendly & welcoming, but had a few issues with the room. We booked a superior room with king bed, but the room & bathroom was small, with 2 single beds. I also requested no feather bedding but the pillows were feather. When I informed them they said they could change the bed & pillows, not the room and to inform reception when we were going out. When we got back the pillows were changed but still 2 single beds ! It took 3 attempts for this to be rectified. The shower was in the bath with no hand held head, just a ceiling head, which meant it splashed everywhere. I was disappointed in the room, I thought it would have been better for a superior grade. The best thing about this hotel is the location.

My fam and I recently stayed at this lovely hotel during a 5 day London vacation. My wife and I stayed in one room and our adult child stayed in another (smaller) room. This hotel is VERY CONVENIENT to Buckingham Palace, local shops and restaurants, and a nearby subway stop. The only downsides are it's not cheap and the rooms are very small (I'm told this is typical in Europe). The A/C worked good in our room (but we did ask the front desk to bring up a fan to help with circulation... we like to sleep in very cold temps!). Hotel staff were VERY accommodating and friendly. The restaurant was good, but pricey. I recommend their full English breakfast if you stay here.

The only thing I would say that is negative is that a Mews view room doesn't really show anything but the front of the building of the Mews. Still, better than a parking lot view!!!

Great check-in and an upgrade which was much appreciated. Room service was slow to order and arrived incomplete . Beware the hotel adds the expected tray charge but adds an extra service charge on top. They also add a 12.5% service charge to the total bill which I do not appreciate- this is unusual for the UK and I expect service to be included in the advertised price. You can have this removed if you ask but it means a lower rating than I’d give equivalent hotels.

Staff is amazing. They take good care of their patrons. Was surprised to find out there is a 100$ held on your credit card for each night stay. Granted it’s returned to you at the end of your stay; just was not expecting this when we checked in as this was not made clear when we booked and paid for our stay prior to our arrival. Breakfast prices also not clear when you are viewing the menu. We ordered two omlets and coffee and the bill was over $100. We did not eat at any of the restaurants on site because of this. We found places to eat that were more affordable on the street.

Wish I was writing a different review, but we were pretty disappointed with our stay. First, the entrance/elevator are small and it did not feel as grand as the photos so that was a bit underwhelming. Staff was friendly though. Room looked nice but we tried to take a nap because of our jet lag and it was SO noisy. Constant banging/knocking noise above us and we were put right beside the cleaning supply closet so constant door slamming on top of that. I did not nap. Food was also disappointing. We had lunch in the restaurant/lounge and my food was lukewarm and then we went back for dinner (wanted to eat in the actual restaurant, but for some reason it never seemed open?) and I ordered the fish and it was awful. I couldn't eat it and ordered another meal and they charged me for both! We did eat breakfast in the restaurant on our last day and the french toast was dry. Definitely not 5 star worthy food imo. The worst part of our stay though was on one of our last nights the knocking was so bad we couldn't sleep. We were able to sleep in a different room that night temporarily which was still a bit noisy but not as bad. Our room on our last night was much better so I wish I had asked to switch on our first day. Will definitely stay elsewhere next time.

We LOVED staying in this hotel thanks to the staff. The staff were amazing for anything we needed! Super nice, friendly and approachable. It was also a great location. What we did not enjoy at the hotel and did not feel were worth the money were both the full and continental breakfasts, as well as the afternoon tea. All were WAY overpriced and not worth it. The continental breakfast was comparable to a cheap American breakfast…very slim offerings. And the afternoon tea…was a disappointment. Which is unfortunate as there was so much hype around it.

Rooms were clean - decoration was very regal / old fashioned. Staff were super friendly. Great location. Only issue was service charge being added to everything including a general tip of £15 pp per stay when you are already charged premium prices with a 15% service charge added to everything . Breakfast was expensive at £38 pp for continental plus 15% and very basic so would advise to skip that and eat outside the hotel where there are plenty of great options!
