The Rubens at the Palace is the closest you'll get to a sleepover with the Queen without a state visit invitation. The hotel is directly across from the royal residence on property that enjoys a colorful past – the Duke of Buckingham lived here in the 1600s, followed by an apothecary and a Court dressmaker. The Rubens, which was built in 1912, housed the Polish army during WWII and gave respite to exiled Charles de Gaulle. The hotel's decadent – and often equally colorful – rooms and suites are a comfortable home base in the epicenter of London.

Very welcoming and very attentive. If you need anything they go out of their way to sort it out. They also prioritise the kids and make their stay extra special. We have stayed 4 times now and would stay again. Breakfast is fantastic and location is great too. Staff are polite. The New York Bar is lovely too if you want a relaxing drink.

The location was really convenient and the staff were very nice and friendly. They helped us call a taxi whenever we needed it and had a great concierge who helped us plan our dinner. The hotel room was really beautiful. The breakfast was the best full English breakfast we had in the 2 weeks we were in the UK. Highly recommend booking the breakfast.

It one of the most polite and friendly hotels we have ever visited. The rooms were clean and tidy. The staff were always polite and helpful. The location was very convenient. The atmosphere of the hotel is 100% british!! My son is super excited from our experience in this hotel. They gave super extra attention to him. Also our rooms were upgraded without even asking and we got an early check in and a late check put without any extra charge!

Hospitality was great. The doorman, concierge very friendly and helpful. Olaide at the front desk was very helpful in figuring out how to get the airport during the strike. Frank was a pleasure to talk to during cream team. Location is great, steps from by Buckingham palace and a 29min walk to Big Ben and Westminster Abby. Great restaurants across the street.

I just returned from an amazing 6 nights at The Rubens. My trip was for business and at the last minute, I had to bring my baby along. This worried me greatly, but thanks to the wonderful staff of the hotel, my week went off without a hitch. The staff couldn't have been any kinder, more helpful, or professional. From the moment we arrived, special attention was paid to the baby and any assistance I needed. There is no doubt that I will be returning to this hotel. It has won a special place in my heart.

Our package at the Rubens at the Palace let my mother and me live like a queen. From the flowers in the room, the beautiful suite, the daily high tea, the staff - everything was a deluxe vacation opportunity. My previous vacations to London pale in comparison to this experience.

I stayed at the hotel and found it to be delightful. It was a good, central location with comfortable, well-appointed rooms. The staff was outstanding, and the food was quite good. I would definitely stay there again!

I can't say enough about the amazing service at the hotel. Everyone was so friendly and helpful whenever we had questions or needed help. The concierge was wonderful and went out of his way to come check on us and see how our day our was turning out. It made us feel very welcome and almost like family! The room was very comfortable, the food in the bar was great, service was amazing. We'll stay here again!
