What a pleasant warm welcome! Some helpful advice on where to go for a meal and a pint in the evening, very organised and friendly. I was offered use of the (free) wireless broadband to work, although it was struggling to reach the top floor where I stayed. The room was larger than average, very clean, comfortable and homely. Windows... more

I just spent 9 nights in London and stayed at the Thanet Hotel. I stayed in a single room on the first floor. It is a small room with a very small bathroom. The room was clean and had everything that I needed: a small TV, electric pot to boil water for tea, coffee, or hot chocolate. The breakfast in... more

Stayed at Thanet Hotel -Room 14 (top floor) for 6 nights--58 stairs to climb :). Overall a pleasant experience. We were fortunate to have an ensuite room which is difficult to find in London. Thanet is in a good neighboorhood (felt very safe) within 2-3 blocks of the British Museum (Bloomsbury district) and close to the tube station. I've only... more

Just returned from a 3 day break in London along with my 3 sisters. This hotel was ideal for those who want to get around London easily. It was so easy to find, closest station is Russell Square with a 5minute walk. The accommodation was very comfortable and the staff were very pleasant and accommodating. We were in one of... more

Found this hotel through Late Rooms; what an excellent find. I usually stay further west (Earls Court area) but had to be at a dinner just off Piccadilly, so tried Bloomsbury. Basically, its the only family-owned business in a quiet street round the back of the British Museum. The other hotels in the street are now all part of a... more

Stayed for a night, and then after about 2 1/2 weeks, came back to London at the end of the trip, and stayed a week at the Thanet. First room was in the basement... HUGE bathroom, medium sized room. Very clean, well maintained. The breakfast was served promptly, efficiently, and they were pleasant. Nothing to complain about at all... The... more

Booked for one night via laterooms.com. £90 for Bed and breakfast for the 2 of us was very reasonable for London. The hotel is in a great spot near the British Museum and about 10 mins walk to the Aldwych Theatre where we were seeing Dirty Dancing. The room was ready when we arrived about 3pm and was clean and... more

Stayed at the Thanet Hotel for a one night break as a family of two adults and two kids. As we arrived early we had only intended to drop our bags off ay reception so that we could get on and do our whistlestop visit to the city. However, as our room had not been used the night before, we... more

It is a delightful little hotel. My room was on the first floor, so only one flight of stairs. The nice man who checked me in was kind enough to carry my bag up to the room for me. I later found out that he is the owner. The room was long and narrow, with maybe 2-3 feet along side... more
