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.

The step from the bathroom down into the bedroom was about 14”. My husband and I are in our late 70’s and both of us fell out of the bathroom onto the bedroom cement floor. Fortunately, we weren’t hurt. The Annex is a nightmare!

We were allowed to check in a little early and the location was great but everything else was very bad. The room was dirty, especially the carpet which wasn't even on the photos. The walls were cracked. The shower was clogged and dirty. There was no place to put a suit case and no hangers or anything for your clothes. When we asked the reception for toilet paper and a towel later in our stay, they juat asked if we didn't already have it.

Absolutely shocking room. It’s was rotten! The cleanest thing was the bed sheets. We had tissues under the bed from previous travellers. Toilet didn’t work properly. Hair in the bath room sink , couldn’t open the window in this awful heat. We will never book again. If I could give no stars I would . AVOID!!!
