WARNING! Dont go here!
Annika, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The building was in a bad state. Dirty and squeeky flooks. The balcony door couldnt close, and we saw a mouse in the room!
Steinar, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was very dirty and the bathroom ceiling light makes a lot of noise. My single room didnt had bathroom , I had to pay 14£ more for a single room with bathroom, and that room was very dirty and the bathroom dirty with 💩, there weren't any towers. That place shouldn't be considered a hotel if not a hostel.

Amadeo, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Do not go there. Dirty, not got water, zero help from staff. I booked for 5 days and left after 2, even if it was not refundable. Really a bad place to stay.
Jeffrey, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very basic and ensure not to get stuck in the annex.
Alex, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

very good location. behind the building is Main Street. I believe that is bloomsbury wy where there are lots of shops, restaurants. Russell square garden is just cross the street. Walking distance to British museum, Soho square, Oxford St, and two tube stations nearby. It takes 30 mins from airport to Tottenham court station by Elizabeth line. I don't think Thanet can be ranked 3 star hotel. However, after 3 days stayed over there, the little room with London give me the good memory.

Excellent hotel ,my room was spotlessly clean with the amenities you would expect,a very quiet location,easy access to transport & Central London.Very friendly welcoming staff,a highly recommended hotel for a very reasonable price per room.
Bethany, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Satisfactory only

Good to be given a family room when travelling solo. However room was tired - threadbare carpet, mouldy shower curtain and no kettle despite their being cups and coffee available to use.

8/10 Very good

Very conveniently placed hotel, and very well equiped.
Vaikkun, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

First place I’ve ever stayed where there is a kettle, but no tea or coffee to make and where there is a tv that doesn’t work and WiFi that decides when it will or where there is evidently a leak because the carpet is sodden and yet the owner chooses not to do anything about it. Astonishing!
Peter, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was a pretty nice hotel in a good area but the first room I was given was really tiny and way to warm there but they let me change rooms. Shared toilets and showers on the hotel. Literally five minutes away from a tube station which is excellent 👌
Niamh, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great but needs improvements

For a last minute booking for 1 adult and 1. Child we got the basement which was huge! Although a budget hotel the rooms do need updating and fans during summer would be great! TV remote was broken. Beds were a bit springy but the heavy blankets and pillows allowed for a good nights sleep. Would visit again for sure
Syeda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My last minute option

It was affordable and near great transportation but there is no air conditioning and if you can’t walk up several flight of stairs than I don’t recommend unless you can get a room on the ground floor,
Infalease, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not sure what to say

The front of house staff were efficient and friendly. I have zero complaints. The issue is the mould and damage in the rooms. Cut my foot on a broken tile in the toilet and didn’t dare shower incase the mould spores touched me. Cheapest in the area for a reason but not sure how am health and safety haven’t closed them down.
Richard, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I used the hotel as it was close to Great Ormond Street hospital. It was a large room with double and 3 single beds. It was disgustingly the was stains all over the carpet walls n ceiling. I refused to use the shower coz the mould that was in it. You could see the stains on the duvet through the duvet cover so I slept in my clothes. Lucky enough my husband decided to stay otherwise I would have left and slept in the hospital waiting area where it was more comfortable.
Heather, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Basic but a good price. Comfy beds after a day out

It was central and about a 10 minute walk to Holborn or Russell Sq tubes. The beds were nice and comfy. We had a lovely powerful shower. The hotel could do with some tlc but for the price we paid it was fine. The guy on reception on the annexe was super helpful
Adrienne, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

The property was filthy with no blinds
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Simple hotel, not too many bells and whistles. Just a friendly hotel conveniently close to St Pancras.
Rutger, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We stayed here because our train was cancelled and needed somewhere to stay last minute. It was fine. The staff was very friendly, the room was ok. Very outdated and needs repairs but for one night it was fine.
