The Sanctuary House was delightful, the perfect location a block from Westminster Abby, centrally located between Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, and a one minute walk to the underground. The rooms were clean, large and beautifully appointed with everything needed for a comfortable stay in London while maintaining the classic old world feel we wanted, as opposed to a large non-descript modern chain hotel.
Nothing not to love.

Poor
Loved the location, and parts of it were very lovely and charming.
There was a sound in our room, a high pitched squeaking noise, my husband believes was the AC fan/motor that needs maintenance, it made it impossible to sleep, even with ear plugs in. There were large canvas tote bags lined along the hallway outside our room each day - very unsightly, and while the room was quaint, the bathroom/shower was not great. The shower especially for anyone taller than probably 5’9, my husband is 6’2 and he had to slouch in the shower because the shower head is so low.

location was excellent and breakfast was great.room was nice size and clean.
Vey disappointed that last minute we were advised that we needed to switch rooms due to a problem.with room we had booked. We were not advised that the room we received was a handicapped room. In the bathroom a shelf over the sink made it impossible to wash your face without soaking the entire floor since there was not a lot of clearance room.We would not have picked this room if we had been advised. Also shelf space for toiletries was very limited for 2 people.

Nice choices on the menu. Coffee was always reward.
The table in the room felt a bit tight. Getting into the shower felt awkward but it wasn’t a deal breaker.

The location was perfect. The room was small but luxurious. Having breakfast included downstairs at the pub was perfect.
The electricity situation could use some points of explanation. It was very confusing with all the switches.

The room was very clean, it is in an ideal location in the center of London and within walking distance to many of the top attractions to see in London! The breakfast was wonderful as well - keep that French Toast on the menu as it was extremely delicious!

The hotel staff were very helpful and responsive. The location was great. It is in walking distance from most downtown attractions. Close to Tube stations.
The room was small and had little storage space.

Room size, comfortable bed and pillows, complimentary coffees, teas, cookies. Assistance with questions about local laundry services. Terrific breakfast! Quiet even though an exceptional location in Westminster.
Lighting in bathroom or near any mirror not helpful for applying makeup. But this was a minor inconvenience.

Location and friendly staff.
Small sink in our bathroom with shelf too low to make sink usable (room 102-not a problem in most other rooms).
