Great hotel at excellent location with authentic atmosphere and kind staff. Check-in explanations not detailed, no suggestions of expedia benefits for members or room upgrades. The rooms are clean and smallish and room service could be improved providing with water, changing towels, bathrobes etc..on a daily basis not requiring asking for it, taking into account the price ! . Doormen all very helpfull assisting with the destinations of guests and cab/uber arrangements. Excellent location within multiple public transport options.

The room smelt dusty, but everything was upholstered in there including the walls. The drain in the bathtub Ihad to manually pluck up to shower. Overall I enjoyed the location and staff.

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.
