Great Location and great staff and breakfast was excelllent
We are repeat guests of this wonderful hotel when we visit London.
The location is perfect!
The rooms are beautifully decorated.
The staff is helpful and friendly.
The restaurant downstairs is a very popular locals go-to eatery, which says it all.
Always a wonderful stay. Gorgeous rooms, quiet, lovely team and amazing breakfast and dinner options in the pub too. Well position for tube with 5 min walk and all tourists spots in the area two mins away!
Great location, superb room and fantastic breakfast.
Only negatives, where the night light in the bathroom was a little glaring/bright and there was a lot of noise in the hallway in the morning (not sure if staff or guests).
Would definitely stay again!
The hotel was clean and staff were very helpful. The location was excellent for seeing the sites, transportation routes and dining options. Would definitely stay there again.
The hotel is wonderfully quirky but that does not detract from any of the facilities you would expect to find in an excellent hotel. The room was beautiful and comfortable, having a pub downstairs was great and the staff could not have been lovelier!
The room was beautiful, the bathroom was exquisite, the towels fluffy and the sheets crisp and clean. The Sanctuary was so close to the underground and also an easy walk to Big Ben and other sites. I felt totally safe in the neighborhood and the staff was incredibly polite and helpful!
The room was wonderful. Shower was fantastic with great water pressure. Beds were comfortable. Only thing was that we were in a twin room and the duvets were twin. Was hard to stay covered all night. Would have been even better with double/full sized duvet. Otherwise loved the close proximity to the underground station, and 3 minute walk to Westminster Abbey. Also had a stop right out front for the hop on/off bus tours. Very convenient. And the included breakfast was also excellent! Great stay!
Very convenient location. Fair price. Breakfast was good with enough different options. They let us check in early after arriving on a red eye which was great. Staff was very nice. Room was decent size stocked with everything you’d expect & was clean. Only complaint would be the beds were pretty uncomfortable - could feel the springs in the mattress when laying down in the standard 2 twin room. Wasn’t unbearable but not the most comfortable. All in- for the price & location you can’t beat it.
