Room very basic An needs totally updating, windows old an ready to fallout so traffic noise was bad. Tv was tiny, coffee and tea basic. Beds were clean and comfortable. Didn’t see any staff just given key and left to it. Close to a lot of places an buses and tubes. Ideal for a one night stay anything else id look elsewhere. £152 for a night with no breakfast was really expensive for the conditions of the room.

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.

Great little hotel in central London. As other people mention it’s not quite the ritz , but it’s very good for the price. A little run down, but if you are spending your day out in London you won’t really mind. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would stay again.

I usually stay at business class hotels but on this trip opted to save some money and selected this property. My ratings do not give them a break for being a discount property. This is a cute little hotel. I had a single room and while it was small it was warm, safe and comfortable. If you want more go stay at the Ritz. The staff was very helpful and eager to please. They know they need to work hard in a competitive market. If I were budget traveling I would stay there again.

The hotel is in a great location but it rather run down.
It could do with some love but could be a fantastic place.
The TV is so small it might as well be none existant.
The cups are all miss matching.
The shower could do with a de-scale and some support under the basin.
The beds are comfortable and we did have a good nights sleep.

Mould in the bathroom, and on the shower curtain. Dirty glasses and cups. Lights not working.

No Sleep Due to people arguing at 2 in the morning right outside my room. Doors banging during the night that could have soft closers added tot them to prevent this
4.0
Simple hotel, not too many bells and whistles.
Just a friendly hotel conveniently close to St Pancras.

Excellent location. Big window with nice view on green backyard. Was nice to be able to leave our luggage on departureday. But hygiëne, especially in the shower was terrible. Was also disappointed to learn breakfast was not included, whereas Expedia showed reviews with breakfast, and I also had used the breakfast filter in the search options. For reference, we stayed from 15-19 Octobre 2023, 138 pound per night.

The Thanet is exactly what it advertises itself. It is a 3 star with no elevator and 4 floors of rooms. The rooms were transformed into ensuite which means the bathrooms are very small. It is conveniently located to London, especially the West End, the British Museum and Covent Garden. The closest Tube station is Holburn. There is no daily maid service, like much of England and also no top sheet, again quite common in England these days.
2.0
Réception desk in separate building. Room was good size but bedding sparse.
Bathroom not clean , light permanently on , both taps dripping, wall on right of basin dirty
Package from shampoo had fallen into the toilet and not removed by cleaners
TV remote control had no batteries so not possible to use TV.
1.0
Paid of the Thanet Hotel NOT the annex which is cheaper. However, we were put in the annex anyway.
Stairs were awful, like a car park etc. Our room I actually can't describe how bad it was for £150! Curtains falling down, bathroom door didn't shut. Had one random table with stains and a chair that was falling apart. Half the wall was cream, half yellow. Cracks and damp in the ceiling. Honestly, I never leave reviews. I often think well we will be okay, but honestly, please don't stay here. Pay a bit more and stay somewhere safe, comfortable and clean. They should be ashamed of themselves.
4.0
A bit concerned about the shower and drainage seems like an ideal spot for mould.
The staff were wonderful but there were no food outlets or restaurants close by.
2.0
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.
1.0
Dirty, no air conditioning, Little room in the basement with a broken mirror. I've paid for a private bathroom in the room but I had a shared One. Awful everything.
