Rubens, Buckingham Palace Road
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,

10/10 Exceptional

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!
