Adam, United Kingdom

This is our 4th stay at the Sanctuary and it never lets us down. A great location with warm and friendly staff

Peter, Australia

Staff very friendly from the lady at breakfast to the chamber maids.

Joanne, United Kingdom

Location in London. It is above a pub though. Might not be to everyone’s taste.

Phoebe, Ireland

Located just few minutes walk to my job premise, 100 meters from the St. James park tube station. Excellent location close to Westminster. Room quite, well equipped with bathrobe, nespresso coffe machine, biscuits, one beer and two water bottles free of charge. Good cleanliness. Excellent breakfast and dinner in the annexed pub that prepare excellent and various type of pies. Staff friendly and efficient.

Roberto, Italy

The location of the hotel was super, it was super near to 2 metro stations and you were able to visit all main attractions (Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Hyde park, Green park) only with a short walk. The staff was very friendly and rooms were quite big and very nicely decorated and clean. The breakfast selection was not big, but it had a variety of different foods and everything that they offered was really tasty and also the staff there was super polite and helpful.

Triinu, Estonia

Location is excellent and its easy to get a table for dinner. Food was good (but not great) if you want rooms above a pub in an excellent location then it is ideal.

Stephen, United Kingdom

Great location. Stayed here for the London Marathon. Helpful staff at reception and lovely, friendly staff in the restaurant downstairs. Great atmosphere after the race and got a free drink!

Kathy, South Africa

It is ideally located for central London- tube 2 mins away, very short walk to The Mall etc

We arrived around 11pm on Sunday evening to a locked door for the hotel, the staff in the bar that is also owned by fullers did not want to open the door, they insisted we ring the bell for the hotel, I explained that we had been doing that for the past 20 minutes with no answer. when the receptionist finally came down it was very clear that she had just woken up and was very confused to say the least. the room was not very clean and was smelling of damp, the cupboard in the bathroom was actually rotten and falling apart & the bed was horrible and lumpy.
The location was good and that's about it

The reception area. First impressions on arrival not good. Shabby! The receptionist was talking on the phone and made no eye contact when we arrived. He was wearing sweatshirt and pants. The dècor on the 5 th landing, dated!
Staff very friendly from the lady at breakfast to the chamber maids.
