“The Sanctuary House Hotel stands out for its prime Westminster location, steps from landmarks like Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, and the celebrated Fuller's Ale & Pie pub enriches the experience with traditional English fare; it's a family-friendly choice that doesn't skimp on character. Rooms are well-appointed with modern conveniences, offering a comfortable retreat after exploring London's attractions, and the inclusive breakfast, with options for everyone, sets the tone for a great day. I think its blend of location and charm makes it a noteworthy base for exploring the city.”

excellent location hot drink lumpy bed extra charge
The location was excellent near major attractions. The room was very clean and recently refurbished. Plenty of hot drink choices and fresh milk were available. There was also bottled water in the fridge.
There was little information in the room about available services. Both the double bed and the sofa bed were very soft and lumpy. I found that quite uncomfortable. The extra charge for an upgrade I didn't request was not ideal.

Our room was on a high floor. It was set back from the elevator, offering very nice quiet and privacy. I adored that. The room displayed so much lovely character and undeniable charm. The location proved ideal for accessing major attractions, a true highlight of my stay, and the breakfast was quite really good. I commend the hotel for offering such care.
