“Thanet Hotel's greatest strength lies in its location; a short walk puts you at the British Museum and in easy reach of Covent Garden. As a Grade II listed building, the hotel offers a peek into London's past, though some may find its age showing. It's a family-run place, and that personal touch comes through with their flexible approach to breakfast and ample in-room tea and coffee.”
