“Second trip to this hotel”

Tiny room by US standards but neat, clean, nicely appointed. Excellent location for tube, train, orwalking. Hotel food good but astronomically expensive. Local eating places average. Closest decent meal at reasonable price is in New York. Great hotel staff.

“Great location! Very nice hotel - great deal”

Ruben's hotel is literally across the street from Buckingham palace. This hotel is easily walkable (5-10 min depending on where you exit the station) from Victoria Station (Gatwick Express airport transfer & other major trains). The room was typical european - small with a nice bathroom. All in all, though very nice. Would definitely stay here again. the hotel is within walking distance (~15 minutes) to Westminster Abbey & Big Ben. St. James Park is on the way there. Victoria Station has a tube line that runs to the Tower of london & the bridge & other site. easy access to a lot of main sites. A great deal for the price and that doesn't even count what you can save in cab fares by walking to a lot of the sites. European breakfast buffet is included as well (average rating on the breakfast).

“Excellent Staffs, Excellent location and I will definitely go back.”

Excellent location. Couple short blocks from Victoria underground station. Open top buses is a great way to see the city on your first day in London, but the underground is the fastest, cheapest and easiest way to get around the city. One block from St.James's park. It's beautiful. Walking through St. James's Park you will see the Buckingham Palace. Several good restaurants in the next block of the hotel. The New Noodle Noodle and the Indian restaurant are very good. Who would have thought!! We love the staff, they are all very happy, helpful and just wonderful. When you're on vacation, the hotels staff definitely an important part and at Rubens you definitely feel like a VIP. Non-smoking room on the top floor is nice.

“Great Friendly Staff”

Like all the reviews - I found the hotel staff extremely professional, friendly and helpful. The hotel was nice, clean and but a little small. The location was great. Overall, we were very pleased and would return.

“Great location,great service.”

Rooms were small but very comfortable. Large bathroom. I would definatly stay there again.

“Would absolutely stay at the Rubens again”

I don't have a negative comment to say about the Ruben's. The staff was very accomodating and gracious. The room was comfortable and well kept. We utilized the bar and lounge which were comfortable. We had a late night meal at the hotel, first thing is that we were suprised that we could get at a meal at the hour we did, and second that it was very good. It's a bit away from the night life of London but we enjoy walking and found it easy(and safe)to get around. Victory Station is only a couple of blocks away, with access to any point in London. We would stay here again without a doubt.

“I GO BACK AGAIN.”

ONLY THE PRICE OF THE HOTEL IS A LITTLE HIGH. BUT IS IN A QUIET AREA AND THE ROOM IS COMFORTABLE

“Business or Pleasure Great London Venue”

The Ruben presented a high level of friendly and efficient service. We had a couple of special requests which they handled easily. Parking is a bit of a challenge but so is London. the doorman handled that very well. Does not have a Business Center for printing but access from the room is broadband. For leisure very convenient to any of London's attractions.

“Loved the Rubens”

We were warned about small London hotel rooms. This was not the case at Rubens. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. The staff was fantastic! The location was great - walking distance to Victoria Station and across the street from Buckingham Palace. We will definitely stay there again!

“Would definitely return”

This was my first visit to London and I was very pleased with this hotel. It was in a good location (right near Buckingham Palace) and near the Underground Tube system. The room was modern, clean, and comfortable. The bathroom was also clean. I would definitely return to this hotel for a future visit and I would recommend this hotel to friends. The only minus is the hotel restaurant. I was not impressed with the food or service so I would not recommend dining at the hotel.
