Frommer's Review

The very British Rubens is popular with Americans and Europeans seeking traditional English hospitality while enjoying the latest creature comforts. And its location is one of the best in town?directly across the street from Buckingham Palace and only a 2-minute walk from Victoria Station. The public rooms are lavishly decorated with antiques, fabric wallcoverings, and fresh flowers. The size and decor of the guest rooms vary, but all feature grand comfort. Housed in a private wing, each of the eight "Royal Rooms" is named for an English monarch and is decorated in the style of that ruler's period.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; lounge; bar; access to nearby health club; tour desk; room service; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
