The Rubens at the Palace in London offers a high-quality and enjoyable afternoon tea experience, with outstanding service, tasty food, and a selection of teas. While some guests felt the price was justified for the overall experience, others were disappointed in the quality of the food and the rushed atmosphere. The festive Christmas tea experience was not as expected, but the tea selection and mulled wine were enjoyable. The ambiance overlooking the Palace Mews is perfect for people-watching, but some guests found the seating arrangements to be uncomfortable. Overall, the Rubens provides a lovely and memorable tea experience in a beautiful setting, with friendly and attentive staff.

Although it could be a bit pricey, for its location, service, style and cleaniness of the hotel rooms, I found the stay quite enjoyable.
