A perfect location for both business and leisure

Attended a two-day conference within a few minutes walking distance. A perfect location for that, and if we would have been vacationers, also for that. A minute’s walk to a tube station. The room on the third floor was comfortable and quiet. The only thing I missed was furniture for the luggage.

Small room and rude front desk

The location is great; the front desk lady was terrible, we were the only ones try to check in but she completely ignored us, got on the phone and let us there like we were invisible. The room and the bathroom were clean but tiny, super tiny and dark.

Our stay at the Sanctuary House was an absolutely amazing experience. The rooms were comfortable, clean and cozy. Easily the best part of the Sanctuary House was its proximity to all of the wonderful sights in London. Just steps away from Westminster Abby, Big Ben and the Parliament building we were able to enjoy the sights and sounds of London. The St. James Park entrance to the underground allowed us to quickly navigate to other areas of the city with our much hassle. I will absolutely be staying at the Sanctuary House on my next visit to London.

A nice property very convenient to attractions. There was no hot water in the late afternoons or early evenings, but we survived! One problem (and I think it's Expedia's fault) is that the amenities described on the Expedia site include "Tour and ticket assistance" This was not true for this property; other than calling for a taxi service, they could not help with any tour or theatre tickets. When I am traveling in another country, having a concierge service is important to me.
