What a wonderful stay! The rooms were beautifully presented, spacious, and exceptionally comfortable. Breakfast offered a fantastic selection of fresh, high-quality food and was the perfect start to the day. The hotel’s unique location, right next to the beach, made it easy to enjoy stunning coastal walks and sea views. A fantastic place to relax—I would happily stay here 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.

We had a lovely stay overall. The hotel is in a great, lively location and one of the biggest advantages is the free parking, which is very difficult to find in this area. The staff were friendly and helpful, the hotel and room were clean, and the breakfast was lovely. It was also convenient having a decent restaurant on site. Unfortunately, the biggest downside was the lack of air conditioning in the room, especially during the extremely hot weather. A Dyson fan was provided, which was appreciated, but during very high temperatures it only circulated warm air and did not make the room comfortable. Our particular room was also located right next to the kitchen extraction vent, meaning that opening the window resulted in hot air and food smells coming directly into the room. We asked whether it would be possible to move rooms and although the staff were polite, we were told there were no alternatives available. I understand that not all rooms may have this issue, but I do feel this particular room should perhaps not be allocated during very hot weather conditions, as there is very little way to cool it down. Overall, it is a nice hotel with friendly staff, good facilities, cleanliness, lovely breakfast and excellent parking — but our room location and the heat made the stay less comfortable than it could have been.
