Huge room very spacious, nicely decorated. Bath and over Bath shower OK unless disabled then bit of a issue (like myself) but no major inconvenience. Beautifully decorated and the pub has a great welcoming atmosphere too. Staff did apologise over cutlery incident and was friendly.

The property looks amazing (it is well perserved), the location is perfect (2 min away from Westminster Abbey), the bar (at groundfloor level) is really cozy, and the staff very friendly and helpful! Breakfast was great - we do recommend you to try the full English! The bar in the room was equipped with complimentary water and beer!

Mihai, Romania

The place looked lovely and has lots of character. Friendly staff. Stored my luggage when I arrived at 9am and I could check in earlier than planned, as room was available

Esmé, United Kingdom

Great location within walking distance of Westminster. Lovely bedroom and free drinks in the fridge is a nice touch. The breakfast choice was very good (I'm vegetarian) and the food was lovely. Great pub below the hotel too, and it wasn't noisy at all. I'd definitely recommend this hotel.

Booked a room six months in advance asking the Sanctuary House for a recommendation for a view and a comfortable room. We were assigned 206, an extremely small room that had three single beds on wheels with no walking room or place to sit; now, the hotel knew our college aged daughter was traveling with us. And, even worse, our thermostat did not function so we were very cold. The towel rack heater did not function. The one small leather chair was worn to shreds. Note picture. We could not even use the luggage rack for lack of space. I do not believe anyone has a bier here. We were charged 60 pounds more than for a a double room plus 35 pounds for our daughter. No recommendations from us!! Stay elsewhere!!

Nothing. Everything was great!
Excellent one-night stay. Just before I checked in, I had stayed at the much pricier St. Ermin's hotel around the corner where I experienced a series of issues in my room and with my pre-arranged billing. The Sanctuary House gave me the same size room, appointed perfectly, very comfortable, FREE minibar drinks/snacks (which I did NOT have at St. Ermin's!), and a room rate half of the St. Ermin's rate that also included a full, hot, pub breakfast downstairs. This was a GREAT hotel, and I will definitely stay there again. Perfect for anyone attending a conference at the QEII Conference Center which is one-block up the road!

Was very dusty and cobwebs around my room, I touched towel in bathroom and something plastic n very dirty looking fell off.. It stayed on the floor too! Dust around simplistic areas to clean too etc toilet roll holder, shower glass divider, the under sink cupboard... Bedroom cobwebs on ceiling dust on TV, heating wouldn't come on was very cold in room. Was only 1 beer in fridge yet 2 guests? Only 1 bottle still and 1 soda water no juice? Very little milk enough for 2 drinks each. Breakfast in room had to wait 5 mins as no cutlery to eat with? By time most of it cooked breakfast was cold 😔 Pillows lumpy as is mattress my neck and back hurts badly.
Huge room very spacious, nicely decorated. Bath and over Bath shower OK unless disabled then bit of a issue (like myself) but no major inconvenience. Beautifully decorated and the pub has a great welcoming atmosphere too. Staff did apologise over cutlery incident and was friendly.
