Avoid at all costs! Dirty looking needs a. Complete refurb fixtures and fittings broken and to rub salt into the wounds they charge £5 to store your luggage. It’s central that’s all it has going for it

Absolutely appaling stay at the Thanet ... As so incredibly often in these hotels the tv didn't work and as usual the staff feign surprise & promise to have it mended 'for the next people' .... I am used to that but this was also filthy, noisy and badly maintained (shower was a dribble and cold tap in the basin simply didn't work) ... All in horrendous stay and terrible service

Absolutely without any question the worst hotel I’ve stayed in ever. EVER. And I’ve been to 121 countries. The “en-suite” didn’t include a toilet, the window wouldn’t open, there was no air con in the room during a heatwave, the whole place was falling apart and the TV didn’t work. Oh and when you arrive, there is nobody on reception and 15 minutes may pass until there is. Just awful.

This property was horrible in all sense of the word. The sheets were dirty, bathroom was filthy and covered in mold and the whole room was crumbling away. The bed was old and you could feel every spring. Do not recommend.

I stayed at Thanet Hotel Annex during my visit to London. The location of the hotel is very convenient and close to many attractions and public transportation. The employees were also very friendly and helpful during my stay. However, the hotel building needs some improvement. The walls and floors are not well insulated, and it was easy to hear noise from the upstairs floor whenever someone moved around. This made the room less quiet and comfortable at times.
