Central, quiet boutique hotel

Highly recommended. Very central location close to cathedral and Grote Markt, but on a lovely quiet street. My room was spacious and smart. Slightly odd layout with toilet separate from shower/basin, which was awkward. Lovely breakfast buffet.

Can’t fault it. Modern without being the least bit corporate; beautifully decorated, with being over the top. Helpful staff. Lovely, spacious, clean, beautifully appointed room with comfortable bed and quality linen. Plenty of plug sockets. Good wi-fi. Modern bathroom with amazing walk-in shower. Great breakfast- for all tastes and appetites - included in the price. The only drawback is the parking - an underground car park about a five minute walk away and €25 per night. Unavoidable I think, given its location in the old town.

Hotel Rubens is a beautiful little oasis from the bustle of Grote Markt. Our room was on the ground floor and had a private patio space which was quite enjoyable. Location was ideal as we walk everywhere and the hotel is located close to all amenities. There is a small restaurant directly across from the front entrance that has great sharing plates and amazing ice cream! Extra thanks to the staff for finding my husband's forgotten glasses and arranging them to be shipped to another location for us.

The Rubens was a most fantastic find, within a very quick walking distance of bars, restaurants, Cathedral etc. Our room was spotlessly clean, and had a beautiful terrace. There isn't a bar as such in the hotel, but an 'honesty bar', with cold beers, wine, champagne and soft drinks tht you declare on checkout. An ice machine was a welcome addition on a very warm night. Parking was in a private garage a few streets away, but the hotel were happy for us to drop our luggage. We are already makimg plans to return - one night was not enough!
