Amazing!!
My 10 year old daughter and I came to the Rubens for four nights and had an absolute blast! The accommodations were well-maintained, the staff were delightful and exceedingly helpful, and the location could not be beat. Only a block from the Royal Mews, two from Buckingham Palace, a stone's throw from the Victoria tube station, and walkable to Westminster/Parliament and a lot of other tourist locations. We did not eat at the hotel other than afternoon tea on one of the days we were there, but the food was delicious and the waitress was delightful; the "princess" tea was perfect for my hot chocolate-loving daughter. We will absolutely come back to stay at the Rubens again for a future trip!

We enjoyed our stay at Rubens at the Palace. The room in the end was much smaller than I thought it would be. I reserved a queen and the bed was a full. Very tight for two adults. The bed was also very short! Nicely decorated rooms, with great amenities. Overall, we had a nice stay. The building is beautiful and the staff was very polite and helpful. The door man Pascal was a delight! Great location!
