The Thanet is an excellent value and location for staying in London. The hotel is very convenient (3 blocks) to 2 tubes stops, one which has multiple lines. It made it very easy to get around to other parts of the city, and not worry about walking very far at night back to the hotel. There are shops and restaurants... More

No elvator ( so you do not need to wait in order to reach your room on the 2ed floor) , Great breakfest. The real English place. Small and very comfortable room. Free WiFi. . 2 min from the british museum, I enjoy staying for 3 days at a moderate price and have the feeling I am not a tourist... More

We thought this was a pretty good B&B for our needs. Location was great around the corner from The British Museum, with easy walking to Oxford st/Soho area and Neal's yard/Covent Gardens area. Good tube access from russell square and holborn. The staff were excellent, nothing was a problem. An extra towel was found immediately and my sister, staying at... More

My family and I stayed at the Thanet the first week of April, 2012. Our room was clean, and spacious (for London). The location was in a quiet neighborhood two blocks from the British Museum. We recommend the Thanet, and would stay there again. More

I only visit London for an overnight once a year but now flatly refuse to pay what I deem to be any exhorbitant price for a three or four star hotel around the Bloomsbury area. It certainly ticks the boxes for the definition of a hotel in my dictionary.As others have said this is perfectly adequate, close to a lot... More

We just returned from another trip to London and had out first stay at the Thanet Hotel. The hotel had a really good location with only a few minutes walk to Hoborn tube station. The British Museum is only about a 3 minute walk from the hotel and you are very close to Covent Garden and Oxford Street. The reviews... More

I booked the Thanet Hotel because I was teaching a course near Bloomsbury Square and this was the cheapest hotel, it seemed to me, in the immediate area. After I booked it but before I travelled, I came to TripAdvisor to read some of the reviews and to be honest, I laughed out loud at what some of the previous... More

Not a fancy hotel, but perfectly fine for London, clean and with friendly staff. Good breakfast, though they start serving rather late if you're breakfasting before morning business meetings. I had a basement room, and the shower was one of the largest I've ever had in London. All in all, good value for money. More

I'm a returning client to this hotel whenever I visit London and it sets the stage for a great trip every time. The location is excellent, the price is decent, the staff is incredibly friendly and the breakfast was very delicious and filling! It's 2-3 minute walk to the Russell Square tube or 5 minutes to Holborn. And around the... More
