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.
Westminster Abbey located just 1 block down the street

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.
