The Rubens Hotel was a fabulous place to spend our vacation. The entire staff were all ready to help us with anything we needed. In the morning, we would be leaving for the day and the doorman would ask us what was on our itinerary for the day. Upon return, we were asked about our day. Such sweet people! The food was delicious and the wait staff very nice. A highlight was Royal Afternoon tea, which was a delicious event with the prefect view. Thank you to the Rubens and their staff!

We LOVED staying in this hotel thanks to the staff. The staff were amazing for anything we needed! Super nice, friendly and approachable. It was also a great location. What we did not enjoy at the hotel and did not feel were worth the money were both the full and continental breakfasts, as well as the afternoon tea. All were WAY overpriced and not worth it. The continental breakfast was comparable to a cheap American breakfast…very slim offerings. And the afternoon tea…was a disappointment. Which is unfortunate as there was so much hype around it.

The amenities in the room are excellent, the staff were all very courteous, helpful and attentive, the location is most convenient for places I want to go. The room however is much smaller than I would like, but next time I will choose a bigger room. I will be back and recommend this hotel to my friends.
