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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was dirty (meaning the floor hadn't been cleaned in at least a year) and too small for two people. The ensuite bathroom smelled, was dated, and encrusted. The electrical system was dated, and the only two outlets couldn't charge my smartphone overnight, and sparks would come out. At least the sheets were clean, even if the beds weren't comfortable. In our four-night stay, no one emptied the trash or cleaned the room. Still, we paid a whopping €100 a night, but it would have been fine for no more than €30 a night.

Unfortunately the room was filled with ants crawling over the floor and walls. I didn't notice on checking in and entering my room as it was dark however once I knew they were there I checked out refusing to complete my stay. I took photos and video of the problem and told reception but it was suggested it was normal to expect as that room backed into the garden. Sorry but not acceptable. I sent a message directly to the hotel to request this only to be told to inform the booking company first. Here it is then.
