This was an overall mediocre experience. This hotel is the sheer opposite of a “sanctuary.” No one is happy to see you upon arrival and no one cares about your stay, if you ask questions, it feels like you are being bothersome. When you book a room with them, you are essentially agreeing to being on your own. The receptionist wouldn’t even provide me with an extra 6 ounce bottle of water. She only provided one keycard. They have signage to not overuse toiletries. The television has a limited number of channels and most channels have programming for senior citizens—an excess of old-time shows from the 1950s and 1960s. The elevator is extremely slow. Basically, the management is really tight with their resources, but charge a lot for the rooms. Also, their connected pub is greatly lacking diversity. The room decor was nice, but wasn’t nice enough to transform this into a good experience. This is really a substandard, soulless place promoting itself as “sanctuary.” This hotel has been neglected for too long and feels like an abandoned property. This experience was so below-average that I feel like it reduced the quality of our stay in the UK for the time we stayed there. Essentially, this hotel is confusing, it wants to be a luxurious “sanctuary” and it feels like maybe it once was when those senior citizens were in their prime, but like the old time shows on tv, it has lost its luster.

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!
