London - Le Meridien or Rubens?
Out of these two hotels, which would you pick and why
Le Meridien Piccadilly or Rubens at the Palace. Both are offering us the same rate for a room that will accommodate 4 people
Le Meridien has a deluxe room with 2 queen beds. Rubens has an executive suite with a king bed and a double sofa bed
Thanks

If everything else about the hotels was roughly equal, I would go for the hotel that offers two real beds rather than one bed and one sofabed. I've never slept in a sofabed that was as comfortable as a good quality regular bed, no matter how good the sofabed was supposed to be.
The Meridien's location is very central with plenty of sights nearby. Which means it's also quite busy, but a great spot for Tube and bus connections.

I'd go for Le Meridian; the location is better, the rooms are nice (I have stayed there) and you will presumably have access to Champneys health club in the basement which is lovely.
If you don't have breakfast included in the Le Meridian room rate, you can go to the cafe in Waterstones Piccadilly (across the street) or Pret a Manger (two minutes walk on the same side of Piccadilly) for a fraction of the price of Le Meridien.

Thank you again
Breakfast is not included but I have written to the hotel directly to see if they will add it for no additional charge. I see that many people who get this through priceline have breakfast included
