Being a Central London Hotel, our room ( particularly as it was a "Superior" one ) would have benefited from having double glazed windows. We were woken abruptly at around 6 am one morning, by the noise of bins or skips being moved.The room however was very comfortable and nicely furnished, and the hotel was very close to the tube station.

Very clean room, however absolutely terrible hard bed, costed me sleepless night. Additionally room next to the lift and some freshly painted rooms. I felt as very unwanted and really "cheap" customer due to late rooms web reservation. Kind of lower class customer. Frankly it was worth not more then £50 rather then £150. I don't think I will stay there again. Can't comment on food as I was in hurry to leave and did not bother with breakfast.

She wasn't, she was in bed, but it was coming from the room next door.We are frequent visitors to London, but we will not stay here again, only because of the very noisy floorboards.Staff were very attentive

Boutique hotel above a pub - don't be put off, the hotel is tastefully decorated, well-appointed and great value. Room was a good size with a lovely comfortable double bed and a modern and well-fitted bathroom. Sky sports on the TV, quiet air conditioning in the room and nice touches such as quality bathroom accessories. Breakfast in the pub was high quality (although I had to wait a while as they had cooked my eggs wrong the first time). Only other gripe is that it was tricky to get the lift to work from the Ground or First floors. Good value at £110 room and £12 for cooked breakfast in a central London location.

Couldn't fault hotel but oh dear, the food in the bar was dire! Chose the game pie which was just ok, but my mash was cold and brocolli raw , asked for gravy which never materialised, and the whole plate very poor value for over £9. I was refunded the price of our drinks very grudgingly after waiting ages for the manager to come see us, and no apology. If this was Fuller's best they must have been having an off day. Shame they let themselves down on something as important as their food.

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Sanctuary House Hotel on Saturday 13th February for one night. I thought that, given that it was Valentines weekend, the price of £150 for the night inc continental breakfast was very reasonable. The bedroom was spacious as promised and the staff were helpful and even left a rose on the bed for when we arrived. The breakfast in the morning is of a buffet style, with croissants, muffins, fruit and cereals. You can opt to have a cooked breakfast, although this is quite expensive (around £11). The only slight negative is that the hotel is based more in London's working area more than tourist area, but we had reservations for dinner and theatre at Covent Garden, which was only a couple of tube rides away!All in all a fantastic hotel, value for money and I would definately recommend anyone to stay there!

Having been ripped off for years by over priced and under performing hotels in central london, a chance find of this place was a revelation! I left it late to book and found the city was busy, I put blind faith in laterooms and ended up at the sanctuary. A real character place, great traditional pub on the ground floor, seperate entrace to the hotel reception on the first floor. Good size room, clean, comfy beds. Good bathroom and unexpected extras such as robes, complimentary minderal water in a standard room. Fabulous freshly cooked breakfast and the nicest guy on reception (think it was the manager) you could ever meet. Any critcisms? next time you refurb, try and sort out the creaky floors - problem is the hotel is so amazingly quiet in spite of its location, the creaky floors seem deafening! Looking forward to becoming a regular!

The sanctuary is a very nice little hotel in a perfect position for site seeing. We found the staff very friendly and ready to help. Our room was a decent size for a London hotel. The decor was good and very clean. The bed was very comfortable and very crisp and clean. Nice clean ensuite with bath and shower. The fact that the hotel is above a pub was great for us, hotel bars can be very dull and lacking in character. The pub was a nice London pub with brass, wood and etched glass. The food in the bar looked good although we didn't have time to eat there. The position of the hotel was perfect. Westminster Abbey is 2 minutes at the end of the road. Trafalgar Square a 15 minute walk across st James park, horseguards parade or via whitehall, with the west end 2 minutes beyond that. Buckingham Palace 10 minutes through St James Park. We will definately stay again the next time we are in London. This is one of the best hotels we have stayed at in London at the price.

We booked the Sanctuary Hotel for a weekend away from the Kids, and to get some peace and quiet.The location is a few mins walk from Big ben, and very quiet too, espeically after midnight and in the morning free from too much traffic noise.

On arrival, we were surprised at how centrally located the hotel was, we walked from St James tube station and were literally there in 2 minutes. A short walk to the end of the road and you're standing in front of Westminster Abbey and Big Ben, and a further ten minute walk brings you to the London Eye. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming and accommodated special requests with no hesitation. The room we stayed in was a superior room and was huge, with a sofa and large king size bed, very clean and cosy. A cracking bar downstairs and apparently great food too. Surprisingly there was no noise from the bar, the tube or outside through the night to disturb sleep. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to London.

Ottimo hotel: pulito e confortevole, stanza spaziosa e tranquilla e bagno ampio e recentemente ristrutturato. La posizione è tra le migliori che si possano avere a Londra, a 2 passi dalla House of Parliament e dall'Abbazia di Westminster. La metropolitana è a 2 minuti a piedi (St. James's Park). Assolutamente consigliato.

We booked this hotel as we were due to attend a wedding a few streets away. We found the service to be very friendly and efficient (even at midnight when we checked in!) and the room clean, spacious and comfortable. Not a luxury option but it more than met our expectations for a well-located and reasonably priced hotel in central London. No complaints.

Pleasant small hotel in good location. Beware however, thin walls between rooms, single glazing and creaky floorboards. And it's a bit expensive at £ 135 per night but that's for the location of course.

The Sanctuary Hotel is conveniently placed for visiting all the main sights, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament, London eye etc. The tube station only a short walk away. This is a quiet area and if you are looking for any night life, you may be wise to look at other parts of London. The Sanctuary Bar does offer good 'pub' grub, but shuts at 11pm. The hotel staff are extremely friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Would certainly recommend this hotel.

I knew I was going to like the Sanctuary House Hotel within seconds of my arrival. I was taking my nine years old son on a Christmas shopping trip to the capital. The receptionist - who was friendly, efficient and thoughful - said because I was travelling with a young child the hotel was putting me in a larger room. It was spacious, comfortable, well-furnished and very, very clean. The hotel itself is just yards from Westminster Abbey, St James's Park, Big Ben and the Houses of Paliament. It's also just one minute's walk from St James's Park underground station which is served by the District and Circle lines, providing the hotel guest with direct links to the main tourist sites and attractions. I would have no hesitation recommending the Sanctuary House Hotel. It's very small but it's friendlyand superbly located, and it offers great value for money.

My wife and I thought tthe room we had was ideal for us. It was very clean, the bed was comfortable and we will probably use the hotel on our next visit to London. The evening meal served in the bar was good, and reason ably priced. We thought that the breakfast service was very slow. Tea and toast were put on the table some 20 minutes or more before the cooked breakfast appeared and were cold by that time. Whilst the breakfast was good we felt it to be overpriced.

Lovely room, clean very comfy beds. Our room (201) didn't have a nice view though. Fantastic location for Westminster sights - Westminster Abbey at the end of the road less than a minute's walk away. Tube station 2 mins walk away in the other direction. Great bath & shower. Complimentary, quality toiletries. Good quality thick white towels and facecloths provided. Room would have been better if there'd been a small fridge for drinks. Late check out - 11am - great for a lie in. We didn't have breakfast. Great pub downstairs. Our key card wouldn't work when we tried to get back in the building after midnight, but luckily a chap inside saw us and let us in. Overall a great hotel. A little on the expensive side but we need to be within walking distance of the House of Lords and it was perfect for that.
