We got what we paid for but seriously this place needs a lot of renovating. Seemed a safe area and close to the train station.

I stayed in room 17 which was cheap but at a cost. The basement room had an issue with a poorly draining sink and shower, so taps could only be run for a few seconds. Batteries for tv remote were dead. Overall good value for the price despite sacrificing some 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.

Trash from previous guest, balcony littered with cigarette butts, half opened multiple toilet papers, Booked 2 single beds cause I was with my brother but it was a double bed. Then online check out is started as 11 but on ground told it was 10. then was told by the check-in staff that I could leave my luggage on ground if I checked out. At check out was told this was a stashed place so had to pay

The room was dirty, no light shade, mattress was old and lumpy, pillows were the same. Very dated, carpet was dirty and i didnt want to walk on it. Had it been for more than one night we would definitely have checked in somehwere else.

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.

For the price you really cannot complain, I paid just over £140 for 2 nights all the other hotels around that area was around the £250 mark. The room was a little hard to find as the layout is slightly confusing, the shower isn’t very big at all with barely any room to move around in, the floors are pretty squeaky so you can hear every little footstep outside your room. Despite this you can’t argue with the price. I will definitely be using this hotel in the future for more London trips, as the area it’s in is very convenient as it is close to all the main attractions of London.

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.

The room was dirty bed had hair and stains in it , the shower was poor and nearly flooded the bathroom. Didnt off any soaps pr anything and the noise from outside made it unbearable to sleep. The no lift access especially with heavy luggage was not ideal
