I really enjoyed staying at Ruby Lucy. The hotel is in an incredible location - you're steps away from Waterloo station, lots of eateries, Southbank, and several theatres. I found the bed to be the comfiest I think I've ever experienced - the mattress and pillows felt like they were made for me, but I do love a firm pillow. I didn't have a view (the windows were frosted) because it would've looked out onto the rear end of Waterloo station which I suppose isn't that pretty. However, you do get a cracking view of Elephant & Castle from the 4th floor galley. The hotel is known for having live music throughout the week (plus a 24/7 bar), but I heard absolutely nothing from my perfectly soundproofed room. The Ruby branded toiletry products throughout the room smelled absolutely divine, especially the two shower gels and hand wash. The staff who I talked to briefly at the bar were utterly lovely and very welcoming. It was the perfect hub for my short but sweet solo trip.
