Very good experience and good rapport quality-price
Very good location, easy to reach all the attractions directly by tram/underground/bus. The staff was friendly, and the drinks at the bar were unexpectedly good. The room was cosy, with all the facilities. The toileteries were very good quality.
The hairdryer was burnt but functional. Overall, it was a good rapport price-quality regarding the facilities and location.

Modern, well located hotel
Modern hotel in a convenient location close to many of the main attractions. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The hotel was environmentally conscious as they gave the option of taking a drinks voucher if you didn't have room service for the duration of your stay, not really a hardship for a short city break.
The rooms were a little small, and they did lack in storage. A chest of draws next to the bed would have been more useful than a padded chair.

good breakfast, cool staff, modern touch, basic cleaning, hotel was under construction
breakfast was very nice, location was very good for us, staff was very friendly and cool.
part of the building was under construction, our view was the scaffolding, not good noise isolation, toilet was not entirely private (frosted glass door), basic cleaning just changing towels, no kettle or coffee machine, no visible sign of the hotel entrance.

Great location, clean, smart, unique
Location was great, the room was very clean and I liked the decor and smart solutions and little amenities it had. Bed and pillows were comfortable. I also liked how unique it was to stay in a multi-purpose building and how easy it was with self-checkin.
The downside of self check-in: you can’t ask for a room away from the elevator. It was a little bit noisy there.

Overall I liked my stay at this hotel.
I liked the room, it had all the facilities, the location was also fine. I liked the Marshall speakers.
The check-in took a while.

Excellent choice for a short city stay
Great location, just a short walk from the major attractions, "homey" feel of the lobby and bar area, extremely nice persons at the reception. Wonderful breakfast with great selection and good coffee. Very nicely done bright room! Supr nice notes to the guests displayed in different locations inside the hotel.
Entrance to the hotel a bit hidden and confusing to navigate, but once learned it was not a problem.

Great location, enjoyable stay
I travelled to London last year and chose one of the hotels of the Ruby chain. I was really delighted with the experience, thus the hotel choice for this trip was fairly obvious. The location of the hotel was great, within walking distance of Stephanplatz (around 5 mins) and subway station Schwedenplatz (1 min). The staff was really helpful and with a positive vibe. During check-in there was a slight misunderstanding regarding the rooms we booked but it was sorted out in a timely manner. The hotel’s design is modern and this time of the year is adorned with Christmas decorations which make it all the more special. The room was clean, quite spacious and Ruby’s signature toiletries were great. Breakfast was good, but we especially liked the coffee. There is a variety to choose from and the staff is really prompt and helpful with your requests. In the evening, if you choose to loosen up at the bar, you are going to be indulged in quite the selection of cocktails and beverages and the overall atmosphere is very relaxing.
Even though there were announcements everywhere that the hotel is currently undergoing some renovations for the future rooftop bar, we didn’t feel annoyed or bothered as we spent all day walking around the city center but for someone who enjoys their late mornings and chooses to go out later on, this might be a bit annoying. There were also some repair works to the tiles in the lobby which were done during breakfast which bothered us a bit but, fortunately, didn’t last very long. The structure of our room while very nice, it didn’t accommodate a closet therefore our coats were hanged in the hanger located next to the bathroom glass door. In addition, we didn’t find room for placing the luggage rack so it stayed by one side of the bed. Moreover, one of the curtains covering one side of the shower cubicle was missing so it didn’t feel quite that private.

Very good
Very good and central location, fast checkin, clean room, nice toileteries, discount for the garage near by was also a plus.
Rooms are a bit small. Corridors are so black and dark, depressing. It is a good option for a short stay without spending so much time at the room. For long stays not so convenient

Great hotel, lovely staff, and perfect location for exploring the city.
Great decoration, 24/7 bar to be able to relax after a day out, perfect location for a short stay in the city, friendly staff.
There was building work going on that we weren’t told about until checking in. Fortunately we were planning to leave our room early but at times there was drilling right into the wall outside our room so it was very loud. There was also lots of shouting from the builders early in the morning. It would have just been good to have been warned about this before booking.

We enjoyed the stay and will certainly return again
Location of the hotel was perfect, the room was spacious, clean and comfortable
The pillows were awful, in my opinion need to be replaced, maybe have two different types, soft and more supportive, the shower head was partially blocked the curtains were hanging off the track and the counter top next to the basin coming detached

Nice place in the inner city
Perfect location, very central and literally two steps from U1 and U4 stations. Good breakfast. Very nice staff. Comfortable bed. Good Wi fi. The idea to replace daily cleaning by free drink in the bar is brilliant. Funky interior.
The room is quite small, the desk is so narrow, it's impossible to work with a laptop. There is no minifridge in the room. There is no kettle to make a cup of tea. Although there is a galley at every floor where you can make tea or coffee, but when you're in your pyjamas.... and at my floor the galley was out of order during the last two days of my stay.

Great location
The location was brilliant and I would describe it as a hip hotel. The bar/sitting area was fun and really nice. There are plans for a rooftop bar there too which will be great.
The bedrooms were unusual in that the loo and shower are in a glass cubicle in the room, so there is very little privacy. However, the bed was comfortable. We thought that the breakfast was expensive (although it looked good) and we found nice places nearby at a much better price.
