Boutique hotel above a pub in heart of Westminster
Charming boutique hotel in the heart of Westminster, steps away from St. James Park (and Tube stop) and Westminster Abbey. I stayed here for the convenient location to Parliament, and selected this property due to the nice rooms above a welcoming pub. Breakfast was included and elevator to the small but comfortable rooms. Reception and pub were all great. I highly recommend Sanctuary House.

Great little find
Great little hotel above a nice pub. Rooms clean and tidy, very comfortable. Staff lovely, and the benefit of being directly above a great pub.
Only found it last minute after being let down with another booking elsewhere. Will be using this one again in the future.

The receptionist was very friendly and happy to store our luggage after checkout! This mad life easy as we wanted to see the sights before our train. The breakfast was very fulfilling with plenty of options to choose from! And, the rooms were spotless with a very comfortable bed!

What a find!
What a find! Beautiful room, fabulous staff. Great breakfast menu with lots of vegetarian options. Only slight room
For improvement we noticed was lack of fresh tea and coffee at breakfast. Hot drinks from a catering flask included or buy fresh from the bar. I’ve already recommended and will be back.
