There's no doubt the Rubens to trying to hit a certain mark but I feel it falls short. The room was nice but dated, possibly tatty, with old plug sockets, corroded bathroom fittings and not cleaned to a high standard. Overall I'd say it was not ageing well. The staff were pleasant enough but not overly welcoming and took an age to upgrade us, eventually placing us in a room that was prepared for someone's birthday. The upgrade was not worth the price either. Overall I great area for the palace with an excellent bar. I wouldn't recommend it though, not in London where's there's far better hotels for this price.

The location was great, the staff were friendly and accommodating, the room was lovely, clean and tidy. The only thing that was a disappointing was the king bed was two singles put together and you could feel the delve in the middle which was a little uncomfortable. Other than that, a great stay.
