A lovely and convenient hotel situated within close proximity to Westminster and Whitehall. The room was spacious and well-equipped. Cleanliness was of a high standard and all facilities were good. The continental breakfast was excellent and the staff were attentive. Our stay was marred when we ordered food on the room service. We were served a tray full of slops,... More

We had a one night stay in a superior twin. The room was spotlessly clean. The only thing I could fault was the extractor fan was not working. (Not the end of the world) the room was air conditioned which is a bonus on muggy nights in the city centre. Breakfast was not included in our room rate, we went... More

We stayed at this hotel for 3 days in June 2013 and it was great. The rooms were huge, staff was very helpful and the location was amazing, just down the way from Westminster Abbey. We walked to Trafalgar square, the London Eye and the Westminster Pier. The restaurant downstairs was delish, but only so-so service.

This was our first time staying in London and we were delighted with all aspects of the hotel; the location was perfect- within walking distances of major tourist attractions; the room was spacious, comfortable and extremely clean as was the bathroom which had an excellent shower; the staff were very friendly and helpful; the continental breakfast offered a good selection...

This hotel in Westminster was incredible! So close to major attractions! We walked to Westminster Abbey, Churchill War Rooms, Trafalgar Square in one direction and through St. James Park to Buckingham Palace and the Royal Mews in the other. Perfect location! Pub downstairs serves good food and beer. Staff is very helpful. We booked the lowest price room yet were... More

We stayed at the Sanctuary House Hotel for four nights while in London. It was very reasonably priced for its great location near St. James Park and Buckingham Palace. The hotel has a historic feel to it, so if you are looking for a modern hotel, this would not suit you. The floors were a little creaky, but we never... More

This is our second stay here and we'll be staying again with friends in a few weeks. Great location, helpful friendly staff who were really accommodating. My wife was running in the BUPA 10K and they very kindly allowed us to leave our luggage and for my wife to have a shower and change after the run even though it... More

One of the most helpful and friendly staffs I have ever encountered. No request is a bother. The location is 1/2 a block from the St. James Park tube station and 1/2 block from Westminster Abbey in the other direction. It is very easy to walk to many of the top London sights. A very convenient location in central London.... More

We stayed at Sanctuary House Hotel on our way to Scotland. As it was just for one night, we booked a standard room, but because we were returning guests, we were given an upgrade to a deluxe which was much appreciated. The service was as always excellent, the staff very friendly and helpful, the room spotless, and the breakfast lovely.... More

The ratings are right. There are too many hotels in London that are too pricey for what they have to offer. The Sanctuary House is the best place I have stayed in London. Location, friendly staff and nice rooms. We had our breakfasts at St James Sanwichbar in the little street across from the hotel, really good value.
