I had never been to London and wanted to spend my time out and about in the city and not worried about my lodgings. The Sanctuary House was great. Wonderful location, great staff. Room was very comfortable and super clean. Even the water pressure in the shower exceeded my expectations. Would stay there again in a flash. My whole trip to London really was a dream come true.

I agree with all of the previous positive reviews. We stayed 4 nights (Late June 2004) and we (a group of 7) absolutely found the location perfect!

Especially during the Tube Strike!

We could walk to most of the places we wanted to see. The open-top bus tour took care of the rest. Westminster Abbey (1 block away) is a must-see. Breakfast was very good and filling, giving us a lot of energy for our sight-seeing.

The staff was friendly, and, yes, the Lift did break from time to time. But overall we loved the place. Mary was extremely helpful and funny.

We would definitely stay here again when we return!

Its all true!, Our anniversary weekend (nov 27th and 28th) spent at the sanctuary was very good.The hotel is in an ideal location only yards from WestminsterAbbey,Parliament and other landmarks and yet the street is quiet.
The hotel has been refurbished to a very good standard and is a small cosy hotel rather than brash and impersonal.If you want a great place to base yourself for visiting London then I cannot imagine many better Hotels than the Sanctuary House Hotel.

We booked the Sanctuary House for our trip based on the good reviews on TripAdvisor and it worked out great. The superior room we had was large with a large bathroom by European standards and the cookies and tea were great to find on the table after a day of walking around! The location was great, near Westminster, and during the weekend was quiet as opposed to the more shopping and entertainment centered areas. Only suggestion is there is very little open to grab a bite to eat right near there. But it is right near a tube station, easy to get around. And a great price, also.
