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.

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

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!

The room 403 was excellent the view was amazing the room was Large BUT not too large just right. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful.

Actually being an elderly lady I like to try to make the best of my appearance (like most ladies) however the room did not have a well lit mirror and although the bathroom did, it was on the wall above a shelf and then the wash basin in front of this part of the shelf SO could not get near enough to put on my make up. Being red headed with very pale skin this was very important to how I felt before I faced each day.

We loved the hotel but there was too many large dogs in the bar that we had to manipulate our way through them !! the back bar should be for dogs only not the front one , especially disgusted with the great smelly things in the breakfast room !!!!! one woman sat in the front of the bar door with 2 great big dogs where people had to ask her to excuse them from the awful great dogs

the amount of great big dogs , they was in both the bars , couldn't get away from them , sorry the worst was that they also took over the breakfast lounge

Location on the cliffs is good for beach walks etc Restaurant was very good.

Too many dogs in the bar and breakfast room. The full English was okay but, toast was advertised on the menu as being part of the breakfast but you had to use one of those ridiculous conveyer belt type toasters and you were asked not to put the bread through twice so you couldn’t have it how you liked it ie well done. The beans were tasteless and clearly catering beans. Other than that it was okay

Very helpful staff. Lovely location near beach. Good breakfast and always excellent service.

The room was very nice and very well equipped. Sometimes noise from adjacent room and particularly loud noise from room above. One night we had to ask them about 10.30 pm if their children could stop their game which involved a lot of jumping off the beds as the noise was terrible. We like dogs and often used to take one to a hotel when we were travelling but there were too many especially outside where fights were common. One customer arrived with 5 dogs.

We loved the location of the hotel, near our favourite beach, Botany Bay. On arrival at Broadstairs train station, we walked to the hotel (long walk but extremely beautiful and our favourite option!) On day 2, we reached Viking Bay by bus (The Loop from Friend's corner) On the departure day, we took a taxi back to the station (£6) We enjoyed the breakfast choice (buffet + hot food) and we also had dinner one night, lovely atmosphere. Staff is friendly and professional. Hotel is clean. We stayed in Room 401, twin beds and we found it spacious. We appreciated that there was a Nespresso coffee machine in the room. We will definitely be back again in summer!

We really enjoyed our time at Botany Bay Hotel and can't find any fault.

Everything was perfect. The staff. The location. The room. The bar and restaurant. Couldn't ask for anything more.

There was one aspect of the bathroom which needed upgrading: the bath/shower. There was an low power Amazon Rainforest Shower head mounted very high above a step in bath, and a shower curtain made of a clingy material. This meant that, if you used the shower you got wet hair and the shower curtain stuck to you.
