    Nothing at all, other places I have stayed could learn a lot from Botany Bay x

    Staff was very pleasant and helpful, nothing was a problem when asked even the girl at breakfast remained unfiltered when I decided to sit on a table that wasn’t set out she simply smiled and moved things from the nearest table

    Nothing.

    Always wanted to stay at this hotel as we love the location. So glad that we got to stay this trip and couldn’t fault it one bit. The room was lovely and had lovely little touches. It was a gift for my 40th birthday and they left me a card and chocolates in the room. It actually ended up a double celebration as we got engaged on the beach. The breakfast was fantastic and the dinner was also brilliant, compliments to the chef. We will definitely be back very soon.

    I had to walk up a flight of stairs. The staff did help with our four suitcases, though. The room had a high step in tub but no shower,. I’m orthopedically challenged and could not bathe. The in room coffee was…. Not good.

    Location location location. It’s right on the sea. Great breakfast. Very nice staff.

    Tatty tired interior, needs redecorating. Bedroom needed refreshing( chipped, scuffed paint, broken bathroom fittings, old TV, terrible WiFi, no usb sockets, broken window handles, etc) surprisingly no pastries at breakfast, we have experienced much better standards at other hotels at this price point. Security light outside our window on all night!!

    Location, sea view, friendly staff.

    The bed was not comfortable and the shower was small and one had to squeeze. I am 6 foot tall and the fixed shower head was 2 inches above my head. Room was on a slant with squeaky floorboards. Other guest walking about at night created foot noises on the stairs and room above. Some doors hinges were noisy when opened/ closed.

    The breakfast was good with plenty of choice. From cooked breakfast to fruits and cereals.

    The velux window in our room did not lock securely and produced a wind noise due to the weather outside.

    Good breakfast. Original room that was booked had a problem so we were upgraded to a larger room as compensation with no quibble. We ate in the restaurant on the three nights we were there and enjoyed the food without exception. It was good quality and the prices reasonable. The restaurant was always busy with a pleasant vibe and friendly servers. Check in/out was straight forward and the reception staff efficient and welcoming.
