Lovely place to stay, staff are friendly, professional and helpful. Food is great (both the restaurant and the hotel breakfast), location is amazing. Only negative was the road to get there which was completely blocked up due to cars parked on either side - not at all the fault of the hotel and nothing they could have done, it was a relief to get into the hotel car park! Will definitely stay here again next time we’re in the area.

We couldn’t fault this hotel, our room and the food was lovely, staff were really friendly. Lovely range of teas/coffee/sweets in the room. Midway between Broadstairs and Margate a nice coastal walk to both. We will definitely book again.

Very pleasant stay. Room clean and comfortable. Despite no air conditioning fans provided were adequate. Location just above the beach. Breakfast good. Bar welcoming. Food was fine but menu not changed during our 5 night stay. Staff all very helpful. Would recommend Botany Bay as a good base to explore Thanet and Canterbury.

Fantastic location, literally next to botany bay, 10mins walk to another beach and minutes drive away from Broadstairs itself and Margate. Lovely hotel, the family suite was very large and comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful with many options. We would definitely stay again. Only minus was the cleaning, it wasn't dirty per se, but spots missed.
