Room was spacious for a family and well equipped with Dyson fan, coffee machine, great selection of teas. It was easy to park and right next to the beach which was fantastic. Beautiful views and breakfast was lovely.

The bath room was clean but a little outdated, wooden panel and sink taps were rusty and peeling but it was clean and useable. The breakfast wasn't a full buffet. You order a hot meal per person but fruit, bread and cereal was unlimited. Tricky when you have fuss kids that want bits and pieces like potato hash brown and x1 sausage - and no way of ordering it.

The hotel was located opposite Botany Bay beach. The restaurant was great, food and service was also fantastic. We also had breakfast included with our stay and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food, was basically expecting pre cooked buffet quality food but it tasted freshly made. Overall great experience.

Could have done with firmer mattresses! Why do all hotels have super soft mattresses! They are a pain to sleep on especially for people of the larger/ heavy size, it just causes back pain the next morning which isn't fun especially if you have to drive home for 2+ hours.

The location was great in terms of it being right beside the coast The food throughout the day and evening was really nice. The staff were bubbly, polite, friendly, welcoming and always helpful (special mention to Laura on Reception and all the breakfast/cleaning staff). The hotel is very dog friendly so make sure you're comfortable around dogs. The local pub, a 15 minute walk away, did offer Sky and BT sports, and a pool table should you want a change scenery/pace.

The TV signal in the rooms appear to be dependent upon the weather, and I couldn't see a TV in the bar area. It was a 15 minute walk to the nearest local newsagents and the pub

The hotel is great. The superior sea view rooms are lovely. Bar, breakfast and dinner all really very good. Superb location. Big thank you to Mollie, who made our dining experience really enjoyable and she couldn’t do enough to make sure we had everything we needed.

We were in room 503. Unfortunately our stay was spoilt a bit by the fact that there was a dog nextdoor in room 502 that woke us late at night and early in the morning by barking loudly followed by the owner shouting at it to keep quiet. Surely it would be better if all the dog friendly rooms were located in one area of the hotel. It’s surprising that some of the superior sea view rooms have now been allocated as dog friendly. We understand people want to bring their dogs, but it shouldn’t be at the detriment of those who haven’t brought a dog. Such a shame, because the hotel and everything about it is great.

The hotel was in a fantastic location with sea views and a short walk from the beach. The room was spacious and clean and we'd opted for one with a sea view, which didn't disappoint. The breakfast was lovely and the meals in the restaurant were tasty too. The addition of a Dyson fan to keep the air cool was helpful.

The only windows in our room were also balcony doors, so we didn't feel safe leaving them open at night but we needed some air. Pigeons nesting on our balcony woke us up too early too. On the first night, because it was busy, the food took a long while to come but this wasn't the case the second night. The avocado and poached eggs I chose for breakfast on 2nd day was a bit small and the yolks not runny.

Room 401 twin room, great size & comfy beds. Breakfast was lovely & had a great selection. Every staff member I spoke to was lovely & the hotel is a great location if you want a peaceful area with great views and easy access to the beach. 10 minute taxi into town was cheap, or you could walk 50 mins to Margate along the coastal path. I'd definitely stay here again.

The room was really hot & opening the windows wasn't really an option as it faced onto the roof & was noisy. There was a Dyson fan in the room though which was great & kept the room cool. Not a room with any sort of view but we weren't in the room during the day so wasn't a problem. The shower was attached at the end of the bath with an assisted handle on the tiles which got in the way whilst showering.

This is the second stay at The Botany Bay Hotel and, hopefully, it won’t be the last!!! Toni got our stay off to a great start by calling to see if we needed a table at the restaurant due to late arrival and then kindly facilitated us with cutlery, crockery and condiments when we choose to have a take-away! She was also a great help during checkout: a very valuable member of staff! The bedroom was spectacular, the food amazing and the staff delightful! Overall, the hotel is a great place to stay!

The fact that dogs are allowed in the breakfast room: if you have allergies and/or a dislike for dogs, take this into account. I had to take an anti-histamine to make it through breakfast! I did raise this with staff was told that the option of eating in the main restaurant (alone) was an option, but I pointed out that this takes away from the social atmosphere of eating around other guests, has the buffet far away and, in a nutshell, gives priority to the canines. They said this will be passed on to management.

Room was a pleasant surprise - I'd paid for a single, and had a larger room than in the picture, with a small double bed (rather than single bed, also as in the picture). That said, the bathroom was as small as it could possibly be. Also, it's a bad design flaw putting a shelf just above a small sink, as it makes it really hard to brush teeth or wash face over the sink especially without banging head. Bathroom could've been a little bit cleaner, but overall I was happy enough with the room. The staff were all very nice, friendly and helpful, which was lovely. The breakfast was great - it seemed good quality, and was nicely presented. Decent coffee, they had oat milk no problem, and the fresh orange juice was very decent quality! The food in the restaurant was also really good. Location just perfect. Overall I was very happy with my stay.

Tiny bathroom, with shelf directly over the sink - an ill-thought out design choice!

room with a superb view of Botany Bay. Very up to date decor with much comfort, suitcase rack, wardrobe, hairdryer, Nespresso compatible coffee machine and very nice hot shower bath, supplied with big bath sheets and white terry robes. The pub downstairs is not noisy at all, as the insulation is perfect. The morning breakfast is lovely for normal breakfast, but I felt a bit odd asking for non-dairy, no eggs for my intolerances, but in the end they arrived with gluten free toast and the full English as ordered. Safe parking behind the hotel away from prying eyes

nothing

The location is perfect, facing the sea and in front of the promenade. It was an idylic place to relax. Free parking for guests also was a bonus.

I paid £190 for one night in a tiny single room with an even smaller bathroom. It is a 3 star hotel with a pub downstairs, nothing fancy. The food at the pub was not particularly good and service was very slow (I waited for 45 mins for my food to arrive). I find it completely overpriced.
