I have stayed in this hotel about 10 times now, sometimes on my own, and sometimes with my partner, and I am very glad to have found it. I have stayed in some other really terrible hotels around Russell Square, and worse near King's Cross, and this is an oasis. The breakfast is a full English, and for vegetarians, my... more

The Thanet is a great little hotel, located on Bedford Place in the heart of Bloomsbury. A great location, it is close to two tube stations (Russell Square & Holborn), practically next door to the British Museum. Theatres, clubs & restaurants are all within walking distance. The owners, Richard & Lynwen Orchard, are extremely friendly & helpful, as is their... more

I selected Thanet Hotel after having read the positive reviews on TripAdvisor. I contacted the hotel a month before arriving and had a room confirmation within a day. I was given great advice about which Tube station to use, since I had heavy luggage. My single room was not the typical closet found in many London hotels. This room had... more

My room at the Thanet had obviously been a large closet at some time in the past. The room number, 5a, should have been a give-away. The room was tiny, the bathroom was tinier, and the closet tinier still. The "desk" was a shelf covered with vinyl. I paid 78 pounds per night. Perhaps the double rooms were better, but... more

A very disappointing experience given some of the other reviews of this hotel. I booked through late rooms and paid 90 GBP which gets you a decent, clean if rather soulless room in a chain hotel in central London. But since we prefer smaller hotels with a bit of character, we thought we'd try the Thanet based on the reviews... more

Thanet is a no-frills hotel in Bloomsbury, next to the British Museum and to the Holborn and Russell Square tube stations. It's a great place to stay if you're looking for a quiet room to sleep and nothing more than this. The room was really small and had a tiny bathroom, so be advised to don't bring lots of luggage.... more

This small property in the Bloomsbury neighborhood of West London is convenient to 2 Tube stations and local attractions, including the amazing British Museum (just 2 blocks away) and Leicester and Trafalgar Squares. I stayed in a single room for a week while visiting my daughter, who is living in a flat on the same block for her semester abroad.... more

We stayed for 1 night to take in a show and found an excellent place to overnight. Located 2 mins from the British Museum and a 10 min stroll to Theatreland this small, clean hotel is ideal. Our room was clean, warm, and quiet and the breakfast of cereal, juices, toast and a full English really set you up for... more

We only stayed one night but we found the owners and staff very friendly and friendly. Very clean and comfortable room and good full breakfast. Is in a quiet area of Bloomsbury and is near to British Museum and theatres. We will be back to visit again. more
