The hotel features a selection of some of the very best food and beverage offerings in London with culinary experiences tailored using ingredients from Royal Warrant Holder suppliers.

The Palace Lounge is the ideal setting to enjoy our famous Royal Afternoon Tea. Our Curry Room is an authentic journey of discovery, blending Indian and African influences in our signature fine-dining style.

The staff was amazing! Super polite and helpful. Also the hotel has an ideal location to explore the city even by foot. It’s central and there are so many hotspots, cafés, shops and restaurants nearby.
The rooms are very small. Even if you choose the “bigger” one. It’s an old building (nicely maintained and clean though!) and feels cramped. With the five star price you pay, you get a 4 star room. There is also no hairdryer or dental kit already in the room, you’d need to ask the concierge.

The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. In particular Adam, Milan and Pascal.
The bar is very gloomy and more an eating place than a bar. Prices expensive for food and drink. Our initial room was very small and smelt of cigarettes but thankfully Adam ugraded us to a larger one.

Staff are amazing, from the doorman John who greets everyone with a smile & is so helpful to the reception, concierge, housekeeping & restaurant.
The room I had on my first stay was very small but on my second visit I had a larger beautiful room.

Customer Service was excellent. Friendly, Polite, Welcoming. We quite honestly couldn't speak highly enough of them all, everyone from the receptionist to the restaurant manager. We ate in The Grill for breakfast and evening meal. Breakfast was outstanding, the choice included everything you could wish for. Our evening meal was absolutely amazing and we have left a separate review. We also had the Royal Afternoon Tea which was every bit as good as the rest. The sandwiches were lovely and the cakes were incredible, we have also left a separate review. We would not hesitate to book another stay the next time we visit our Capital.
Quite honestly there isn't anything I could say I disliked.

Absolutely fantastic two night stay. I would highly recommend staying at The Ruben. I need to mention all the staff at The Ruben, they were absolutely fabulous, nothing was ever too much. They made our 50th birthday celebrations so special, memories made.

My experience at Hotel Rubens at the Palace was absolutely perfect. From the moment I arrived, the reception team made me feel welcome and cared for, especially Alicja, who was incredibly professional, warm, and attentive. The gentlemen at the door were also fantastic – always so nice, energetic, and full of positivity. Just seeing them each time I entered or left the hotel gave me a wonderful boost of energy. The hotel itself is beautifully maintained. My room was spacious, with modern furniture and a comfortable layout that made my stay even more enjoyable. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and the overall service exceeded expectations. I have already stayed here twice in August and am looking forward to coming back very soon. Everything about my stay was excellent – highly recommended!

Breakfast was fantastic … my sister is gluten free and really enjoyed the options available- it made our experience really enjoyable.
The water pressure was very low and made the morning a little problematic for showering .
