Disappointing experience due to inconsistent and arbitrary enforcement by security. My group was repeatedly prevented from purchasing drinks despite behaving appropriately and not causing any disturbance. We were told we were “too tipsy,” yet no explanation or objective reason was provided, and we were not offered any constructive alternative (such as water, a waiting period, or a recheck later). Responsible service is important, but it should be applied consistently and communicated respectfully. In this case, the interaction felt dismissive and unfair, which significantly impacted what should have been an enjoyable night out. The venue itself has potential, but the approach taken by security made us feel unwelcome and singled out. Until there is clearer, more professional handling of guests, I would hesitate to return or recommend this club to others.

Very disappointing experience. Me and my friends went there to have a good time, as it was the last Sunday of this year, but they completely ruined the night. The security guards were rude and unprofessional, and their behavior felt discriminatory and racially biased. We were made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome, which is unacceptable in any public venue. On top of that, the dance floor was wet which made multiple people slip whilst dancing, It is a serious health & safety issue. Overall, this place needs to seriously address both staff behavior and basic safety standards.A venue like this should ensure all guests are treated with respect and equality. Management needs to look into this concern with utmost care.

Out of all the places we tried, this one had the best music! It was Y2K club bangers and really fun to dance to. For safety, the vibe was good - they kick out people who get too drunk and have a safe word for women who are feeling unsafe or uncomfortable.

The bar itself was decent and a nice atmosphere, but really wasn't impressed with the security lady. We never wanted to use the cloakroom which you had to pay for, but the whole time, she would be checking the room for any coat that was left on a sofa, table that you're sitting at, a chair or floor. Everyone in the bar was holding their coats or wearing them as it was getting ridiculous. I've never been a bar like it.

Small dance area however the vibe is good with crowd of people who really want to have a great night out. Entrance price is a bit high for 15 pounds anyway its central London. DJ plays good dance music. Stereos are fantastic.

Friday 3 of March. My friend and I were excited to dance and enjoy the lively atmosphere. We had a great time socializing with other patrons, and the music was just our style. However, our experience was soured by the unexpected behavior of the manager. At one point, the manager approached us and asked us to calm down in a extremely rude way, even though we were simply enjoying ourselves on the dance floor. This was confusing and surprising, especially given the club's advertised motto of "WE LIKE TO PARTY!" on their website. Despite this, we still had a great time dancing and chatting with other patrons. Unfortunately, later in the evening, the manager returned and asked us to leave the club without providing any explanation. We were being yelled at aggressively, and she never approached us in a normal way to explain what we had done wrong. This left us feeling confused and frustrated, as we were simply dancing in our own space and not causing any trouble. To our surprise, the people around us were equally puzzled and thought it was unfair that we were being kicked out, as they couldn't see any reason for it. While we did have fun at Rumba and appreciated the chance to dance and socialize, the inconsistent management and lack of clarity around acceptable behavior on the dance floor left a negative impression. Overall, it was an enjoyable but ultimately disappointing night out. We hope that Rumba can address these issues in the future and create a more welcoming environment for all patrons.

Under the week it’s not so crowded and only one part of the area is opened. But atmosphere was good, I did like/dislike a couple of songs (like most clubs)

This club has all the good vibes! Really good mix of music! Security Fatim is an absolute legend! She is super friendly and has a genuinely good banter. Even offered me a nice cup of tea because I was really down. Thank you :) Xx

Following our night out a few weeks ago for a friend’s birthday, we were impressed by the staff’s attention to the safety of their customers. My friend happened to have drunk too much, and the bouncers made sure he was safe by keeping him under both our and their watch. They really made sure he was safe until we took him home. Excellent place, I would honestly recommend :)
