DO NOT BOOK HOTEL

We are a Military service family and I needed to cancel my room one week before due to my partner being called away and wanted a refund or to change the date. They refused both requests which meant we lost our money. Very unhelpful DO NOT BOOK WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE

Hidden Gem!

Modern, clean, and beautifully presented throughout with an artisan feel, this hotel really wowed me. A quiet (I.e. pedestrian street no traffic noise) location but by no means sleepy. There were multiple independent bars and restaurants nearby and a thriving food / other market on the doorstep. Also close to the South Bank for many attractions. My room was well appointed, clean, modern, lovely bed and shower, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. They even swiftly helped me to locate and return to me a lost item - so rare to get this level of service. Food menu looked tasty, but didn’t try it. For context, this hotel was the same price as a travelodge on the night of stay. It’s a no-brainer to stay here and I’d highly recommend it to friends and family. Thank you Ruby Lucy!

As you will read, the reviews of this hotel are wonderful and I will say that they are all true. The hotel is clean, safe, great walking distance to everything and has a very welcoming vibe to it. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Although I had an issue during my stay, the reaction from the management team honestly outweighed the otherwise negative experience. It is one thing to say you take great pride in service and guest experiences, but it’s another to truly live it and I do see that this is extremely important to Ruby Lucy management.

Fantastic brand new hotel in pedestrian street

Fantastic brand new hotel in pedestrian street nestled behind Waterloo station. The hotel is modern quirky and has a sleek design. The bar and the breakfast room are really cool places to hang out and there is even a rooftop. The hotel is conveniently located a 5-minute walk from Waterloo and all of the underground lines it serves which is perfect for London exploration. It is also a minute away from the Old Vic. I will definitely stay again. The rate was very reasonable given the quality and neighborhood.

Great staff & lovely vibe. Brilliant location. Only criticism would be slightly small room & very soft bed, which sadly when you have a back condition isn’t great. Superb breakfast & bar service.

Excellent stay

I really enjoyed staying at Ruby Lucy. The hotel is in an incredible location - you're steps away from Waterloo station, lots of eateries, Southbank, and several theatres. I found the bed to be the comfiest I think I've ever experienced - the mattress and pillows felt like they were made for me, but I do love a firm pillow. I didn't have a view (the windows were frosted) because it would've looked out onto the rear end of Waterloo station which I suppose isn't that pretty. However, you do get a cracking view of Elephant & Castle from the 4th floor galley. The hotel is known for having live music throughout the week (plus a 24/7 bar), but I heard absolutely nothing from my perfectly soundproofed room. The Ruby branded toiletry products throughout the room smelled absolutely divine, especially the two shower gels and hand wash. The staff who I talked to briefly at the bar were utterly lovely and very welcoming. It was the perfect hub for my short but sweet solo trip.

Would defo recommend!

Absolutely fabulous. The bar staff were so lovely. Emily welcomed us and the 2 girls on Saturday were so lovely. One from Oz and one from a little village in England, I didn’t catch the name. The bar was so quirky, my daughter and I loved it. However, we didn’t love the 8am wake up call Saturday morning by the cleaner hoovering outside, but with a friendly ‘would you mind not doing that now’ she stopped. Close to Waterloo and overall fab stay. Would definitely go back:

Quirky and friendly near Waterloo.

A rather quirky modern hotel, with very friendly staff and an excellent breakfast buffet. Not convinced by the see-through glass walls around the toilet and shower.
