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

My son was doing a semester abroad, so my brother-in-law and I went to visit him for a week in November. We had two single rooms at the Thanet Hotel, and it was absolutely perfect for us. The owners are very welcoming and accommodating, the breakfast was good and more than ample, the rooms were clean and well-appointed, the bathrooms... more

What a pleasant warm welcome! Some helpful advice on where to go for a meal and a pint in the evening, very organised and friendly. I was offered use of the (free) wireless broadband to work, although it was struggling to reach the top floor where I stayed. The room was larger than average, very clean, comfortable and homely. Windows... more

I just spent 9 nights in London and stayed at the Thanet Hotel. I stayed in a single room on the first floor. It is a small room with a very small bathroom. The room was clean and had everything that I needed: a small TV, electric pot to boil water for tea, coffee, or hot chocolate. The breakfast in... more

Stayed at Thanet Hotel -Room 14 (top floor) for 6 nights--58 stairs to climb :). Overall a pleasant experience. We were fortunate to have an ensuite room which is difficult to find in London. Thanet is in a good neighboorhood (felt very safe) within 2-3 blocks of the British Museum (Bloomsbury district) and close to the tube station. I've only... more

GREAT FIND!!

Just returned from a 3 day break in London along with my 3 sisters. This hotel was ideal for those who want to get around London easily. It was so easy to find, closest station is Russell Square with a 5minute walk. The accommodation was very comfortable and the staff were very pleasant and accommodating. We were in one of... more

Found this hotel through Late Rooms; what an excellent find. I usually stay further west (Earls Court area) but had to be at a dinner just off Piccadilly, so tried Bloomsbury. Basically, its the only family-owned business in a quiet street round the back of the British Museum. The other hotels in the street are now all part of a... more
