The location was good and the room was very comfortable. which was reflected in the price of the accommodation chosen, i.e. it was not cheap. I found the Reception staff and the Breakfast staff to be professional and pleasant. However, this was not my experience whilst dining there on a Sunday evening. I was surprised, as a paying guest, to have received from three different dining area staff the very same reply to my request for a glass of water, to accompany my evening meal - "Yes, of course" and to then not receive the requested water. Not only did I NOT receive the requested glass of water but I was then subsequently ignored. Being a Sunday evening, the dining area was busy with 'walk-in' diners. However, I believe the hotel could make some effort to better serve its paying guests, be they resident or 'walk-in' rather than simply lie to them in an effort to brush off requests. Although the room was lovely, and the location very nice indeed, I certainly wouldn't make the mistake of putting myself at the mercy of the dining area staff again.

Hotel is in need of refurbishment. Although clean it looks very tired. Our room was very small but had everything we needed.
The breakfast was excellent, but I couldn’t say the same for dinner.
However, the location is excellent and the staff were friendly and efficient.

The hotel was lovely and the location was overlooking the sea which was very nice. We booked for an evening meal which was absolutely appalling., We booked for seven o'clock but had to wait outside the dining room to be seated for about twenty minutes.The waiter had to come and clean the table then we waited over an hour to get the drinks we ordered. Then our meal came which was nothing special for the price.Everyone was complaining about the wait. I wouldnt stay here again which is a shame because the place was lovely. It just was the service we received it was a shambles.We were told guests were a priority but we would have been better doing self service.

We loved the layout and style of the hotel. The location is the big selling point with the sunrise a must see. The staff were very friendly.

Having lived nearby for several years, have stayed at the hotel a couple of times, our preferred area and hotel throughout the Southeast. Lovely staff, the rooms may be slightly outdated, but traditional and cosy. Keep them as they are. Always a great selection of coffee, teas, milk on hand, hot chocolate, biscuits, kettle and nespresso machine. The food is amazing as always, breakfast with buffet, loved the crumpets. The hydration station with cold water is brilliant in hot weather. Dogs love the hotel, the beach and beautiful walks along the green. Any waiting is worthwhile at all times. Plenty of parking spaces, just arrive early enough. Keep smiling, you're all doing an amazing job. We'll keep coming back.

Perfect location. But you can tell they were either short staffed of inexperienced, but that said they work incredibly hard.
We had the family room and it was a bit rough round the edges - I rate the rooms on two fundamental things - quality of the shower and how comfortable the bed was and it failed on both!

Great hotel, wonderful location.
Brilliant spot to have a drink outside on a nice day.
Staff in bar very friendly, only negative is the hotel is a bit tired in places and the rooms are a bit average although this wouldn’t detract from me returning

Really friendly staff and easy check in. Rooms great, a bit of damage here and there to furniture and fittings. Food was good, heard a few people complaining about length of wait, but I didn't have a problem. Would happily stay again.

Amazing hotel - wonderful views from the seaview room and from the bar / restaurant. The room was comfortable with nice little touches. Staff are incredibly friendly and the food is amazing. Easy parking and great walks along the beach and coast path.

We had a 3 night stay in the hotel in a twin bed room. All the hotel and bar staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The bar and dining areas were busy as it was the last weekend of the school holidays. We attended a lunchtime event in the guests dining room. The bedroom had a partial view of the sea and was kept clean each day. There was plenty of room for 2 of us however there was a significant lack of available power points. The kettle, coffee machine, air cooler and mobile phones were all competing for 1 socket. I would have liked the option for a brighter bed side light for reading while in bed. In the large ensuite bathroom I would like to suggest for a greater customer experience that additional rails, either free standing or wall mounted, be provided, adjacent to the basin and bath so that towels have a chance to dry after use. Shelving for wash bags and hooks for hanging clean clothes would be a bonus. There was always plenty of hot water. We appreciated the hotel working towards reducing their use of plastic by providing flasks of cold milk and also in advising that towels would be washed as required rather than automatically on a daily basis. Breakfasts were very good with plenty of choice and the 1 evening main meal was delicious. The vegetarian options were very limited on that evening though. It was a pleasant stay for a weekend by the sea. Thank you

Welcome, highly recommend this hotel

The staff and service were excellent. Wasn't expecting breakfast was included but it was, which was a bonus. The restaurant and bar was excellent service too. The only negative is the walls between each bedrooms was wafer-thin and i could clearly hear the television in the next room. Had to ask next door to turn it down and even then i could still heat it.

Lovely hotel looking out towards sea. Stunning coastal walks. Will certainly revisit to clear the mind and recharge. ;)

The Botany Bay is welcoming and warm. I first discovered it on a walk between Margate and Broadstairs. My stay this week was the third one and I know I will be back. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff members are kind and attentive, the food is good. The pub seems to be a regular stop for walkers and local customers adding to the warmth of the place.
6.0
This is a great little property overlooking a quiet bay with good breakfast and dining options. We were upgraded to a sensational room but it was just unbearably hot with the most uncomfortable pillows so sleep quality very poor. Hence the low rating. We would go back but take my own pillow next time
5.0
Staff great. Place great. Good great. Room great. Pretty much the only thing I wasn’t happy with was the figure hugging shower curtain. Superior room deserves a nice walk in shower. Not a narrow bath with a curtain. Other than that fantastic place and would stay again.

Perfect!

Overall stay was great. Lovely hotel and great room very clean
Breakfast room had cobwebs hanging from the roof lantern like chandeliers
Coffeewas strong and cold
Hospitality in room is very good but remember to get milk from reception on arrival!
Waitress needs to have a lesson in service as was leaning across other diners around table instead of going to the side

Lovely room in a great location. Superior rooms advised if you want a view.

Lovely hotel, right next to scenic beach walks.
Great food for dinner and breakfast
5.0
Beautiful place. Beautiful location. The only downside is that the family rooms appear to be facing the car park and you get an 8am wake up call in the form of empty bottles from the bar being tipped to the main bin. This said, the hotel provides an excellent value for money, breakfast is nice too, but the staff are the real stars.

A very friendly hotel in a quiet location suitable for walkers or those looking for a tranquil retreat. Have stayed here before and will do again. The staff all deserve credit for their welcoming and helpful attitude.

Lovely room, very large and comfortable. Quality breakfast and evening meal. Delightful staff. Greeted us with friendliness, despite it being (unexpectedly) the hottest and busiest weekend of the year!
