Ruby Stella Hotel London

What guests think

At Ruby Stella Hotel London, travellers highlight spotless, modern spaces and exceptionally friendly staff, a lively 24/7 bar, and a quiet, convenient Clerkenwell location, while noting compact rooms and mixed views on the continental breakfast.

Beds are widely praised for comfort, but storage and workspace are limited, and some layouts feature open bathrooms or windowless rooms. Self check-in is straightforward, and perks like floor galleys and drink vouchers appeal, though occasional lift outages, AC or hot water issues, and corridor noise are reported. A solid choice for a short, city-base stay.

Clean room, all staff really helpful, great live music on the Friday evening, free cocktail vouchers for choosing not to have housekeeping over a short stay. Breakfast was good but would be nice to have some additional gluten free items and some other hot items, but everything was fresh and tasty.

Saw this hotel advertised at a remarkable affordable price and photos looked great. On arrival, realised it's only recently opened - the staff are brilliant, rooms are spacious and having a large window in central London for under £200 a night was a refreshing change! My only slight gripe - the coffee & tea is located at a communal 'galley' on each floor so you need to leave your room in the morning for a coffee. Not the biggest issue, but the coffee is only nescafe instant. It's a bit of an inconvenience for a low quality outcome. I'd prefer either nescafe in my room, or a nicer coffee at the galley - e.g. Nespresso machines. Otherwise, a lovely stay. The staff made it particularly enjoyable.

A good value for price and location. It's reasonably close to things, but not very close. 15 minute walk to the nearest tube stop. Leather Lane is nice enough, as is Exmouth market. But it's 25 minutes to the Strand - 30+ to the West End. Very clean. New. Shower is nice. As it is the outside seating area adjacent the bar. But the rooms are very small. You really can't unpack, if you've brought luggage for more than a couple of days. Definitely not for the accessibility-challenged. Housekeeping could be more consistent. No top--sheet on beds?

The bed was really comfortable, and the room was very quiet. The ‘cosy’ category room is very small. I know European hotel rooms are small, but this one felt very small and I was by myself.They have a deal if you skip cleaning of your room until the third day you get a free drink coupon for the bar - I thought that sounded okay but I misunderstood and thought after the third night they would do up the room every day - not the case. If you sign up for that, it means your room only gets cleaned every three days for your entire stay, not really a great deal in my opinion. For a glass of wine - on my six day stay my room only got cleaned once. I also felt the location was a little far away from a lot of the things I wanted to see, but on the upside I did a lot of walking.

Wanted to love this hotel but the rooms were ridiculously small (and we had one with a window). We could barely fit our luggage in the closet and had to take turns pulling our luggage out to get clothes, etc. Also, the bathroom felt like it was just cut out from the room versus being its own space.

Lovely hotel and as described in a good location, however my check in experience was disappointing and payment was taken from my card for other rooms other than my own. I suspect the issue was more on the Expedia side than the hotel’s. I will return but with caution, as it took several days to resolve the issue.

I stayed two nights in September. The hotel is about 45 minutes by train from Heathrow, no transfers, plus a ten minute walk. There are lots of restaurants and take out places near the hotel. The neighborhood isn’t dynamic and bustling but it is safe and is a good location to get to other places easily. It’s about a mile to walk to covent garden and Chinatown. A touch more to the west end theaters. 15 minute walk to the barbican Centre from there another 45 minutes to St. Paul’s cathedral and the Tower of London. If walking isn’t your jam, there are three lines at the Farringdon underground station as well as the national railway to get you anywhere else you want to go. The hotel is as advertised. Clean and efficient with a friendly, funky vibe. The bar and restaurant are very comfortable. I didn’t eat there so don’t know about the food. Rooms are small - perfect for one person. Fine for two people who don’t bring a lot of baggage and are ok not having extra space to lounge. It was clean, modern, good towels, good air conditioning. It was a good spot for the few nights I was in London. I’d stay again.
