Anabell, 6-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dirty, unsafe, the worry’s hotel I ever been to!
Elena, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The whole building felt neglected. The room numbers were in a random order which made finding the room difficult. I had an ensuite room, it smelled disgusting when I arrived and the toilet didn't flush properly so the ensuite smelled disgusting when I opened the door in the norning too. The window wasn't staying open properly and the radiator couldn't be turned down which made the room extremely hot. Other guests were slamming doors and running up and down stairs too. The only positives were the price for a place in London and the ease of check in and check out. I think this could be a great property if a little more care was put into maintaining rooms.

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

8/10 Very good

It is fair compare to the environment.
Olutobi, 1-night trip

Leon, 1-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.

kenneth, 9-night trip
