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

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

Plenty of beds for family. Easy walk to British Museum. Lacked heat and breakfast.

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.

We got what we paid for but seriously this place needs a lot of renovating. Seemed a safe area and close to the train station.

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 Very outdated and needs repairs but for one night it was fine.

Decent rooms with the affordable price in Central London and the staff were good. I didn't have the bed bug problem as someone said in the review comments. Had good sleep and it is close to British Museum.

Budget comfort

Great location, dated building. My stay was comfortable, there were issues which I dealt with in reception. It is by no means perfect but if you want to stay in central London on a budget its as good as any.

8/10 Very good

The receptionist was most welcoming on arrival and informative. I was able to store my luggage until my room was ready so I could carry on with my day. The reception was open 24 hours a day so I didn't have to worry about my return time. The only negative was, there was a kettle in my room but no coffee or milk.

Good enough

Perfect location. Old hotel but it’s good enough for a few days. Got clean towels when we asked for it. Not really any complains.

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.

We just needed a room to sleep in after theatre trip so this did the job. The rooms are dated but were clean and spacious. One night here was fine. Wouldn’t stay longer than that. Good location by Holborn station. Walkable to Covent Garden’s. So suited us. Cheap and easy.

Overall - clean & warm

The staff were pleasant and helpful, the room and bathroom were clean however, the carpet had not been vacuumed in a long time and I did not wish to tread bare foot around the room. Also, the beds were not very comfy and both us felt the springs in the mattress.
