Botanic Rest Bed & Breakfast

Our stay at Botanic rest was very situational. When we arrived we were not given a key fob so we were unable to re-entire the hotel after hours. There was also a fire alarm in the middle of the night on our first nights stay. Our hot water also stopped working on our 2nd & 3rd night. We were reimbursed a nights stay for the inconvenience (which was not expected which was exceptional service by hotel staff). The hotel over all was very clean, served a great breakfast, in a great location, with very helpful & friendly staff.

Best thing about our stay was free Netflix and WiFi really good. However the place was minging. No mattress protector, door was not very secure. The door was tested by the police at 12.30am when they were banging on it as there was a complaint about a domestic dispute with another guest.

Made very welcome. Bedroom very comfortable and clean. Very good English breakfast. Transport to city centre only 1 minute from B&B.

Clean and comfortable room, recently decorated. Slightly underwhelming breakfast. Good location, very close to Botanic station and an easy walk into city centre.

The staff was good and helpful and the price per night was also good. However the drain of the sink was clogged and it smelled awful, even tho the staff went there to try to fix it, it didn't get solved. That room shouldn't have been available for stay until they get it that smell off. Also, really thin walls, no you can hear everything in the other rooms. The breakfast was poor in choices, with no cups and mugs available. Also, no covid concern or prep.

Location is good; staff is very friendly and helpful and clean toilet and shower area. Things need to be improved such as: very limited choices for breakfast for both adults and children ( staying 1or 2 nights is ok but 7 nights is really out of joy) with a bowl of ricescrispy cereal , toasties and the hot breakfast with some baked beans, 1 sausage, 1 egg, 1 slice of bacon, 1 hashbrown and 1 toastie. My son struggled with his breakfast as he doesn't like ricescrispy cereal and cannot eat eggs but he has not got any choice. The power cut off 4 times during 7 days we were there and for the last three days, the room had not been cleaned.

Overall it was good.

Botanic Rest turned out to do very well 'what it says on the tin' that is, provide inexpensive accommodation quite close to the city centre and close to the Ulster Museum, Botanic Gardens, and Lagan Valley cycle way. I didn't have the breakfast, but it looked up to the standard you expect when i called in to pick up a bag a week later.

Nice and clean, free parking available on the street. A little bit noisey in the evening due to lots of shops around. Breakfast serving from 8am which is too late if you need to go earlier. Should be served at least from 7am

Will be back very clean n comfortable accommodation
