Loud noise from the rooms all night long
Leonardo, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Get what you pay for. Great affordable option for last minute plan-change. Private lockable room being the strongest pro. Expect a range of noises through the night, including from the bed.

Thanet Annex Single Room

Good location with easy access across London. Parks at both ends of the street. British museum 5m minutes away. Safe area, secure hotel annex with 24hr reception. Dirty shower, stained curtains, peeling and bubbling plaster. Flickering main light so only used bedside one. Fine for a short stay.
Paul, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room is dirty. the toilet door is not closed properly. Window is broken. really hot in the room. You can hear people outside walkin in stairs and cannot sleep. No soap or anything in the toilet.
Arnold, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Unfinished space that needed redecorating and disgusting sink. Will not stay again, especially as the walls are paper thin and I could her the man in the room next door very loudly in the morning, ranting.
Emma, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was very friendly and helpful
Helena, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Convenient hotel to get to near the British museum. The double room and bathroom was quite spacious. Check-in and check-out was very quick. There could have been amenities for coffee or toiletries.
Vaikkun, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The staff working at the desk were very nice, and the central location is perfect. But the hotel was in a state of disrepair. There was a problem with the toilet, where it made a very loud noise for about 10 mins after being flushed. The shower appeared to be broken and there was a piece of cardboard hammered into the wall (assumedly to cover a hole).
Annis, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible experience, the rooms havent been cleaned for years!!! Carpet was visibly disgusting, ripped courtains. I dont even think there is a cleaning service in this place. Even if you are in a budget, find somewhere else to stay. I wish i had made more photos, as this doesnt properly show how bad it is
Sofia, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I arrived at 5pm on 21st October, quick check in. No ID required or at least did not ask for it. I was put in room 18, I was greeted with a small room, single bed and VERY VERY bad conditions. There was stains on the wall, the flooring had signs of water damage / damp and window sill was damaged and had signs of mould. I did not sleep at all due another guest coughing and a radio playing all night. The only positive about this hotel is the location and price. It is very close to Russel sqr tube station. The street is quiet.
DANIEL, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff is good. Property is a bit rough but cant complain for the price.
Faizan, 3-night trip

The room needs some air fresher and air sprayed the floors look moldy. The rest are alright.
Tenzin, 1-night trip

Ideally placed for supporting family in Great Ormond Street Hospital, also very close to the British Museum. Lots of shops and places for food near by.
Grant, 2-night trip
