Thanet Hotel Annex

I stayed just for a night, I couldn't sleep even for a second. It wasn't safe. I could here people talking next door. Shared bathroom, no soap. Broken chair, broken drawer. Dirty curtains. And smell. I never go back there

to provide cups can be provided complimentary tea / coffee / milk bags - kettle lavatories - shower gel / soap / shampoo can be provided no hanger in room to hang clothes

First room had a nauseating smell of either cheese/vinegar with stained bedding and carpets. We immediately requested a new room. However, the new room had a broken radiator (stuck on full power) and a window that would barely open. Whilst the second room wasn't pungent, it was far from comfortable or clean. Stained carpet, yellow mattress, dried vomit on outside of toilet etc. Entire place could do with a bit of TLC and servicing. Finally - the smoke alarm went off at 3am. Cannot fault the receptionist, who very quickly sorted our room swap. An acceptable place to stay if all you need is a bed and running water...

Very basic. The bathroom was an absolute mess

Værelset var slet ikke rent og isoleringen af værelset var virkelig dårligt hvilket gjorde det ekstremt koldt især når radiatorerne ikke virkede

National park

Disappointing Stay – Would Not Recommend Where do I begin? The moment we stepped onto the hotel floor, it felt unstable—like one wrong move and you could fall through. Things only got worse from there. The bedroom was a letdown: the mattress felt like a pile of springs, making it impossible to get a good night's sleep. The room had a musty smell, with visible damp patches on the unpainted walls. The bathroom was tiny and cramped, and there was no night lamp—something I really need when sleeping somewhere unfamiliar. To make matters worse, several sockets didn’t work, so we had to wake up during the night just to rotate devices for charging. Overall, it was a horrible experience in terms of comfort and upkeep. The only saving grace was the location—close to Leicester Square and within walking distance of plenty of shops. But sadly, convenience doesn’t make up for the poor condition of the hotel.

Bra beliggenhet, med litt innsats, med vasking og vedlikehold. Hadde det vært ok, fordi det er billig. 👎

The room was run down, mattress was extremely uncomfortable. You could feel the springs in your back.

Very poor cleanliness

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.

Alt, dreckig, kaputt, hässlich, ungemütlich

The hotel was terrible and honestly just not up to any standard

Not fit for human habitation. Room was down a flight of disgusting dirty stairs in a basement. Room was filthy! Damaged walls, carpet in an appalling state, damp, smelly and honestly unsafe. I’ve seen reviews before where I’ve thought people just need to adjust their expectations of a cheap hotel but honestly this was the worst room I’ve ever seen. Shame on you Expedia for advertising this hotel on your platform

Loud noise from the rooms all night long

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.

Horrible don’t come

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

Staying at the Thanet Hotel Annex was quite a disappointing and unsettling experience, especially since I was traveling with my family. To be clear, this has nothing to do with the staff — communication was good, and when I requested an extra pillow, the front desk agent responded promptly and kindly. However, the condition of the room was far below expectations. The beds were uncomfortable, the shower was extremely small, and I was genuinely concerned about possible mold in the bathroom. It’s definitely not the standard I’m used to. My stay there is one I’d rather forget. Honestly, I wasn’t planning to write a review, but I felt it was important to share this in case someone else reads it before booking — because if I had, I wouldn’t have proceeded. The only positive aspect was the location — its convenience and proximity to the university were the main reasons I chose it. Still, that experience of putting my family, especially my son, through such conditions is something I pray never happens again, by the grace of God.

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.
