This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. It was dirty, it stank, there was no air flow, there were insects crawling around everywhere, the sheets don't even cover the mattresses which are about as old as the building itself. The ensuite was disgusting. There was minimal water pressure.

Don't stay at this hotel. Ants in our beds, bugs crawing around the room, flys out the tap when you turn it on. Mould, peeling paint, unclean room, leaking toilet, bathroom light broken, bed not made, no toilet roll holder, crumbling walls, cupboards screwed shut, whole in floor large enough to trip on.

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

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.
