Glorious Afternoon Tea

“I had the most glorious afternoon tea at Rubens. The atmosphere was absolutely divine. We enjoyed cocktails in the bar beforehand, where the bartender was friendly and attentive. The afternoon tea itself, crafted by pastry chef Sarah Houting, featured mind-blowing flavors and a range of offerings that were simply fine. The staff were incredibly attentive, always smiling and happy to assist. This luxurious experience was topped off by the good live pianist, making it a truly nice event.” read full review

Comfortable Royal Mews View

“During my stay in the Royal Mews View King Room, I was impressed by the beautiful decor and the overall comfort of the room. The attention to detail, from the quality of the linens to the cleanliness of the space, was amazing. The air conditioning was a blessing in the heat, and the quietness ensured a restful stay. Even though it was a bit on the small side, I found it cozy and perfect for relaxing after exploring the city.” read full review

Luxurious Comfort

“I loved the cozy double room I stayed in, very comfortable and cleaned to perfect standards. The bed was soft and inviting, making for a perfect night's sleep. There were good touches, such as bathrobes and slippers, which added a luxurious feel. Despite its size, my room had everything I needed, providing a perfect retreat at the end of the day.” read full review

Really good Dining Experience

“The dining facilities at Rubens are truly really good. I enjoyed a cooked breakfast every morning, which exceeded my expectations. The variety in the menu was fantastic, with options like perfectly cooked eggs Benedict and good Welsh dishes available. Each meal was served in a beautiful setting with exquisite china, and I appreciated the quality of the coffee offered, the best I encountered in London. My breakfast experiences here were not just meals, but joyful moments that started my day perfectly.” read full review
