The staff here were so lovely that I almost don’t want to comment on the property- the room was filthy, there actually wasn’t someone on the desk the whole time, the photos on here are not of the inside of the property, there’s no hot water… but the bed was clean, it was actually really quiet and the staff I did see were really helpful… would have been brilliant for one night, was ok for two nights- really would have been impossible beyond that

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.

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).

Location is brilliant, very central. Place is the dirtiest hotel I’ve stayed in, flies as soon as you enter the building. Our bathroom was very mouldy. That being said, you get what you pay for and the staff were really friendly.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Probably the dingiest, grottiest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The room was like a scene from Orwell’s 1984, including what appeared to be a dried blood stain (or was it faeces?) on the ancient, filthy curtains. The shared bathroom was grimy, with dried excrement stuck to the toilet bowl. The cheap handwash in the room was obviously diluted! While staff were friendly and polite, and the linen and towels at least appeared clean, that is really the least I would expect from any hotel. It hardly makes up for the otherwise almost comically disgusting accommodation. Frankly, I feel ripped off - I want my money back!
Stained and dirty curtains in our room.

Not in great condition. Mould in the bathroom, no light bulb in a lamp, the cupboards bolted down, and a very springy bed. But sticky and some ants. Great location so able to get out to London attractions quickly which was main reason for purchase. For a cheaper stay than other accommodation close by, but wouldn't book this for a luxury getaway that's for sure.
