Lock in a great price for Thanet Hotel – rated 8.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

Location is very nice, the staff is friendly and helpful

Ahmed, Egypt

Location is great for visiting many parts of London. Cooked breakfast was very good although the buffet was small and the coffee barely acceptable for a hotel.

Roland, United States of America

Convenient location, very close to the British museum. Friendly staff. I didn't have time for breakfast, but it looked good.

Patrick, United States of America

Cleanness was ok. WiFi free and working properly. Enough space in the room.

Bart, Germany

Location Breakfast Cleanliness Friendly proprietors and staff Free wi-fi

Tony, United Kingdom

Near to attractions to where we wanted to go , quite location , friendly staff , room was clean , plenty of tea coffee and milk in our room , we had a nice room at the back. The breakfast was very good and a lot of choices.

David, United Kingdom

Excellent location; great breakfast; wonderful staff

Scott, United States of America

The location was excellent! Very central to most attractions in London. Also, the neighborhood seemed safe. The street was quiet, which was unusual for London. The breakfast is wonderful, make sure to try it all. For a solo traveler, it met all of my needs. Very cozy.

Trvlgrl, United States of America

We had a family room and it was nice that all had a real bed. The beds were soft and nice. Nice that shower and toilet was separate when you are more than two people. Breakfast was good, and we loved that it wasn't a buffet. It was freshly cooked. Very friendly and helpful staff. Location was perfect. Close to many sights - between 5-12 minutes walk - and with a little park in both ends of a quiet road. We will for sure come back. If you are looking for a good budget hotel, I will highly recommend Thanet Hotel.

The facility doesn't have an elevator and my room was on the 3rd floor so taking the bags up and down was very hectic. It is an old property so windows are very basic it gets really noisy and it passes on air too so it get really cold.
Location is very nice, the staff is friendly and helpful

Paper thin walls provided a chorus of snoring from other rooms all night. Ridiculously creaky floors compounded the issue. Very small space, especially the bathroom, a heavier person would struggle to fit in the shower. Barely any bathroom amenities, not even a hand wash. Bed and bedding passable but not on par with even budget motels. They seem to think that milk is the same as cream for coffee, although the rest of the breakfast was very nice.
Location is great for visiting many parts of London. Cooked breakfast was very good although the buffet was small and the coffee barely acceptable for a hotel.

I stayed in the lower ground floor and it’s a bit difficult to carry the big baggage downstairs. But everything is fine.
The location is great and is so close to the Russell square. The breakfast is really nice and the room is really clean.

Shower was small and the water temperature was inconsistent. A basic hotel which is expensive for what you get, but I guess you are paying for the location.
A good location off Russell Square which is walking distance form Euston and only a 20 min walk from Regents St etc. , Large room with a comfortable bed and an ok breakfast.

Far from energy efficient. Heating was always on to cover up poor window frames that brought outside breeze in the inside. More or less though, this is the case for all hotels of this level in the area.
Clean place, great location, average to good breakfast.
