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.

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
