8/10 Very good

the floor was quite loud but probably because we’re on the top floor. only reason i put 4 stars was because there’s no lift and we had to carry all our luggages from ground to 3rd floor. otherwise it’s all good stay

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.

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.

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.

Simple hotel, not too many bells and whistles. Just a friendly hotel conveniently close to St Pancras.

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

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 👌

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,

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
