The staff were so friendly and the accommodations were clean and so comfortable. It’s a great location and having the pub downstairs was perfect. Having tea, coffee and biscuits in the room was such a nice touch. The pub downstairs served breakfast which was included in our stay and we choose to eat down there several times for dinner. Would highly recommend The Sanctuary Hotel.
There was not anything.

Location Food
I stay here once a year for 3 nights to attend a course nearby. I am always impressed with the staff and go back every year. Today as I checked out I met a particularly rude lady. All that was missing was eye rolling from her tutting performance because I wanted to store my luggage. A little hospitality training perhaps would not go astray! I would still recommend this place as otherwise the staff were very pleasant.

Excellent location minutes away from the tube and from Westminster Abbey. Lovely staff who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and comfortable (shout out to Ashley at the front desk who was incredible!) clean rooms with everything you need, very quiet, and accessible. The bath in the room was a huge bonus for me.
Everything was perfect. If I had to find something to complain about I'd say the elevator was a bit slow, but that's really no big deal

Fantastic older hotel in an excellent location. So many things in easy walking distance - Westminster Abbey and Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, shows, and Churchill War Rooms. Super close to St. James Park underground stop as well. Charming rooms and great breakfast.
Nothing really.

Cozy room and amenities as described on the site. The pub was very nice too with a great breakfast included. Great location with Westminster Abbey right around the corner and St James station right by the hotel. Would definitely stay there again.

LOVED this little hotel. So cute and historic and our room was perfectly lovely. Right down the street from Westminster Abbey and other tourist spots. Really great pub attached where we had delicious fish and chips, beer, and breakfast both mornings of our stay. Staff was really sweet and friendly each time we spoke with them. AC worked well which we appreciate as it was warm when we stayed. Great size room, really cute details, and a nice bathroom with good water pressure in the shower. It was the perfect place to stay for our first time in London and I would 100% stay again!
Honestly nothing. The elevator was even broken during our stay - it was Bank Holiday weekend so they couldn't find anyone to come fix it. Offered us a couple of free drink vouchers for the pub. But really it made the experience more memorable by walking up the stairs (we were on the 5th and top floor) and getting to check out all the interesting artwork.
