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. ##### YUCHANG Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Adrienne 13 Apr 2025 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### 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 Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Brian 3 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Hotel is dated but in a very convenient location for kings Cross abd exploring London.

It was fine. The staff was very friendly, the room was ok. Very outdated and needs repairs but for one night it was fine. ##### carly Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Richard 14 Sept 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ade45e92-1617-43d7-8003-163bde9ff324-1757846037292.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7de9b9f3-73c3-4e27-bb0f-7e0cb73162e0-1757846037206.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/83a23516-84ca-4c53-bf47-2d0e9892cb7f-1757846037352.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Steven 29 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Plenty of beds for family.

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. ##### Revathy Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa 29 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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. ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ian 11 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Over night due to meetings on two days.

Shower curtain and rail missing. Staff informed seemed suprised! So I showed him the picture of the damage. Room was clean and tidy. Good for the price in central London. ##### Raymond Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Simon 21 Sept 2023 #### 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. ##### Simon Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### John 5 May 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Prepare to be disappointed. Single room in the basement. Awful. Uncomfortable bed. Noisy. Poor bathroom. Creepy. The location is good and it's cheap. That's all. ##### John Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Anna 19 May 2024 #### Good enough Perfect location. Old hotel but it’s good enough for a few days.

Not really any complains. ##### Anna Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lois 19 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities Nice little park nearby. British Museum around the corner.

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. ##### Faye Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Fiona 24 Nov 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Fiona Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ming Huei 7 Jun 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities A unique experience living in an old building turned hotel. The staircase to our room was narrow and winding. The wooden floor made creaking sound and some parts of the carpet were torn with nails protruding. Despite the creaking floor, the beds and linen were clean and comfortable. Suitable for short stay and backpackers. ##### Ming Huei Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Christopher 6 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We were extremely disappointed with the Thanet Hotel. The images on Expedia do not come close to what you actually get. For the price we paid, the room was dirty, you could feel the springs through the mattresses, and I’m seriously worried about bringing bed bugs home, although, fortunately , we didn’t experience any bites. There were no hand towels and a minimal amount of all-purpose soap was provided - there was no shampoo or body wash. The shower was mouldy. The staff were indifferent or rude when we interacted with them. The location was great and the area behind the hotel seems to be home to a number of foxes and birds which was nice. ![Thin matresses](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b0116e78-fadf-4927-8633-952415f7d6b4-1751813572114.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Dirty](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/16afc615-8ccf-45ae-aefc-8f1898045b2a-1751813572414.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Dirty](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b1e4fea1-ff85-44c9-8372-c1fbbf5104a7-1751813572920.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Mouldy shower](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d48a2e2a-b1e5-4931-b057-8ea0cea8758b-1751813572852.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Christopher Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kerry 7 Oct 2024 Liked: Room comfort #### Thanet Guest house In the app or online (even in the welcome book! In the room) It said breakfast included. However this wasnt correct. Also the TV remote on off button needs attention. And toilet seat needs securing. All in all though its a lovely place with friendly people and a nice atmosphere so I enjoyed my visit. ##### Kerry Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Leonardo Hotel London Croydon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-London-Croydon.h866550.Hotel-Information) > > [Aerotel London Heathrow Airport Terminal 2-3](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Aerotel-London-Heathrow-T2-T3.h21528024.Hotel-Information) > > [ARK Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Collective-Canary-Wharf.h36660267.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House London Stratford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hyatt-House-London-Stratford.h4823071.Hotel-Information) > > [Staycity Aparthotels, London, Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Staycity-Aparthotels-London-Heathrow.h5025535.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Mercure-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h17586.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clarendon Hotel - Blackheath](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Clarendon-Hotel-Blackheath.h916270.Hotel-Information) > > [Plaza London Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Plaza-London-Hotel.h4969048.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greenwood Hotel by Wetherspoon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Greenwood-Hotel-By-Wetherspoon.h48465856.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Finsbury Park, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Maldron-Finsbury-Park-London.h92328087.Hotel-Information) > > [Ruby Zoe Hotel London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Ruby-Zoe-Hotel-London.h87843675.Hotel-Information) > > [Ibis Budget London Whitechapel - Brick Lane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-London-Whitechapel-Brick-Lane.h29134898.Hotel-Information) > > [Safestay London Kensington Holland Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Safestay-Holland-Park.h12706774.Hotel-Information) > > [The International Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-International-Hotel.h1949.Hotel-Information) > > [London Wembley International Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-London-Wembley-International-Hotel.h890560.Hotel-Information) > > [Tribe London Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Tribe-London-Canary-Wharf.h83096424.Hotel-Information) > > [Stamford Bridge Hotel London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Stamford-Bridge-Hotel.h65802.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-London-Heathrow-Airport.h570358.Hotel-Information) > > [Wembley Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Wembley-Park-Hotel.h17816788.Hotel-Information) > > [Thistle London Heathrow Terminal 5](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Thistle-London-Heathrow-T5.h882761.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Conference-Centre-London.h48444523.Hotel-Information) > > [Golders Green Stays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Golders-Grenn-Stays.h93467119.Hotel-Information) > > [City Courtyard Apartments & Penthouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-City-Courtyard-Apartments-Penthouse.h12433631.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Arbor-City-Hotel.h201127.Hotel-Information) > > [Point A Hotel - London, Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Point-A-Hotel-London.h9080289.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Heathrow-Airport.h55006.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanctum London Regents Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Sanctum-International-Regents-Park.h78257352.Hotel-Information) > > [Staycity Aparthotels, London, Greenwich High Road](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Staycity-Aparthotels-Greenwich-High-Road.h7065398.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h12391.Hotel-Information) ---
