4/10 Fair

I booked a single room at a hotel; it was my mistake for not confirming whether I would have my own bathroom. I just assumed any single room, at a hotel (not a hostel), would have its own bathroom. But apparently, standards are lower in England. I had to pay around £6 to store my luggage for a few hours after checkout.

8/10 Very good

Hotel is dated but in a very convenient location for kings Cross abd exploring London. We only went to the hotel to sleep so it wasn't an issue

8/10 Very good

Very conveniently placed hotel, and very well equiped.
Vaikkun, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We got what we paid for but seriously this place needs a lot of renovating. Seemed a safe area and close to the train station.
Marwen, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall - clean & warm
The staff were pleasant and helpful, the room and bathroom were clean however, the carpet had not been vacuumed in a long time and I did not wish to tread bare foot around the room. Also, the beds were not very comfy and both us felt the springs in the mattress.
Fiona, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worst experience ever.
The room smelt musty. Shower curtain smelt awful. TV didnt work. Asked the reception if she knew the place which I needed to get to. She was rude didnt even look at me and said google it. Couldnt sleep under covers because kept getting pricked on my legs. Couldnt wait to leave. 9 hours was enough.
Sharon, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly and helpful service. Last minute booking at budget hotel so I was happy with my stay.
Peter, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient for short stays. The room was satisfactorily clean but the stairs getting to the room, not so much.
Jackie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Poor
The room was dirty, no light shade, mattress was old and lumpy, pillows were the same. Very dated, carpet was dirty and i didnt want to walk on it. Had it been for more than one night we would definitely have checked in somehwere else.
Gemma, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Decent rooms with the affordable price in Central London and the staff were good. I didn't have the bed bug problem as someone said in the review comments. Had good sleep and it is close to British Museum.
Revathy, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Simple hotel, not too many bells and whistles. Just a friendly hotel conveniently close to St Pancras.
Rutger, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Plenty of beds for family. Easy walk to British Museum. Lacked heat and breakfast.
Steven, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

For the price you really cannot complain, I paid just over £140 for 2 nights all the other hotels around that area was around the £250 mark. The room was a little hard to find as the layout is slightly confusing, the shower isn’t very big at all with barely any room to move around in, the floors are pretty squeaky so you can hear every little footstep outside your room. Despite this you can’t argue with the price. I will definitely be using this hotel in the future for more London trips, as the area it’s in is very convenient as it is close to all the main attractions of London.

Thanet Guest house
In the app or online (even in the welcome book! In the room) It said breakfast included. However this wasnt correct. Also the TV remote on off button needs attention. And toilet seat needs securing. All in all though its a lovely place with friendly people and a nice atmosphere so I enjoyed my visit.

8/10 Very good

Great little hotel in central London. As other people mention it’s not quite the ritz , but it’s very good for the price. A little run down, but if you are spending your day out in London you won’t really mind. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would stay again.

4/10 Fair

Wouldnt recommended
The room was dirty bed had hair and stains in it , the shower was poor and nearly flooded the bathroom. Didnt off any soaps pr anything and the noise from outside made it unbearable to sleep. The no lift access especially with heavy luggage was not ideal

Needs renovations
Mold in shower. Hair dryer doesn't work. No outlet to charge phone. Tv doesn't work well.
Patricia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good enough
Perfect location. Old hotel but it’s good enough for a few days. Got clean towels when we asked for it. Not really any complains.
Anna, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice little park nearby. British Museum around the corner. Food stores within walking distance. No breakfast available but I know that when booking.
Lois, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A unique experience living in an old building turned hotel. The staircase to our room was narrow and winding. The wooden floor made creaking sound and some parts of the carpet were torn with nails protruding. Despite the creaking floor, the beds and linen were clean and comfortable. Suitable for short stay and backpackers.
Ming Huei, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The place is in disrepair. The floors are uneven and creek, the carpets have mould. It takes it’s 2 star rating very seriously.
Praveen, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

It was awful, i had to move rooms twice, beds are broke and everything, mold in the rooms, along with dirty bedding, i complainted and they said nothing they can do any more as moved once already. Please avoid at all costs.
Mike, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not so good
Budget hotel in need of upgrade and refit. Large bedroom with wooden floor. Partially partitioned to allow for storage by operators. Flimsy doors key operated self locking, so rember your key when traveling to the bathroom. No services in the room. TV and kettle, the little basket offering tea, coffee or milk was empty. WiFi is extra.... The bathroom is at the very bottom of the hotel. Seperate shower room to toilet. Hostal may have offered more quality
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Budget comfort
Great location, dated building. My stay was comfortable, there were issues which I dealt with in reception. It is by no means perfect but if you want to stay in central London on a budget its as good as any.
