We enjoyed our stay at Rubens at the Palace. The room in the end was much smaller than I thought it would be. I reserved a queen and the bed was a full. Very tight for two adults. The bed was also very short! Nicely decorated rooms, with great amenities. Overall, we had a nice stay. The building is beautiful and the staff was very polite and helpful. The door man Pascal was a delight! Great location!
