We stayed for a couple of nights and were not disappointed. Location is perfect and the sea views are amazing.. Very spacious rooms. Lovely friendly staff?

This hotel is situated one minute from the beach but the slope to it is very steep. The rooms are spacious with all the things you could need for your stay, kettle, coffee machine, tea and coffee bags; oh and a little surprise, won?t tell you but you will enjoy them. Housekeeping is very good and stock up all your drinks; in your room you will have a little flask of milk that will be refilled at request; better than them uht packs. The only complaint is the TV. Very small and little amount of channels. This day and age bigger TV?s ant not that expensive. The food is of good quality; though did think the Bacon and Sausage at breakfast were pre cooked then warmed up.

Pre booked and decided food a week in advance as requested by the Botany as we were a party of 8. Even with such forward planning the food was very late to the table for every course and the quality of food was not great across all meals.
Everyone was left really hungry and even after one of us going up to request an update on food arrival it still took ages from that point. A wait for food is expected and even more so on a busy evening but last night was surprisingly empty making the delay even stranger.
It's a nice atmosphere but when everyone is complaining about a lack of food and wolf's it down on arrival as it's taken nearly 2 hours to arrive it's hard to recommend.

The sirloin steak was one of the worst I've ever had the misfortune to be served. Stringy and tough and largely inedible. The salad was just a big pile of rocket with a couple of bits of red onion. Slimy tomato. Chips were OK.

I got a parking ticket for parking at the hotel, despite giving my registration to the desk, and then they tell me it is my responsibility to prove I stayed there to the debt collectors now chasing me..... Beyond Crap

Visited for an afternoon, substandard service, poor coffee and basic preheated food.

latte was pretty strong, the little brownie was a nice touch too. the breakfast bap (sandwich) and smoked salmon benedict were good but nothing special. the staff also forgot our side bacon and vegan eggs at first :(

I had recently lost my husband and was booking a trip with my sisters to help me cheer up ?. I accidentally booked directly with the hotel instead of Expedia as I was in a state and did not realise ?. I paid £680 for the trip ?. My sisters husband then became unwell and we needed to cancel the trip ? I contacted the hotel to explain the situation and cancelled the trip the lady I spoke with said she would cancel it so I thought no more of it ? then at a later date they took all the money from our accounts? I did explain to them the state I was in and Expedia have been brilliant in trying to help me get my money back but the hotel now ignores any communication from Expieda and still no joy? I do understand that rules have to be in place but I genuinely did think given the circumstances and that I was so recently bereaved that there would of been some compassion and human decency shown ?.

Took a friend to the Botany Bay Hotel for a coffee and pastry in October, it was very quiet. One week later I have received a £100 parking fine. I tried to call the Botany Bay Hotel multiple times with no answer.
Not the service I would expect for going into an establishment spending money at their bar. Will argue the fine and won?t be back or recommending their services again.
Will go to smaller independently owned businesses in the area.

Staff were friendly and helpful.
Rooms: Our room had obviously been recently refurbished and that was very well done. Unfortunately it was located adjacent to the extraction system for the kitchen which was a disappointment to say the least. (Room 201).

Went for Sunday Lunch, lovey view from the Orangery. The food was good, not the best roast beef I have had, but good and the trimmings were excellent. Maybe the pork or chicken would have been a better choice this time, but reason not 5 stars was the price; 2 roast beefs, 2 glasses of wine, cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets £72. For a pub lunch, I thought a little steep.
