Noise made it difficult to rest at Botanic Rest
Botanic Rest B&B was clean and basic. It lost points for noise and safety. When we checked in we took our suitcases up the stairs. About halfway to our room in the hallway on a few stairs up, a man was doing some repairs in the doorway to a room. His tools (including an electric screwdriver) were in the middle of the stars and hallway. We had to move them, so we could get past. Pretty unsafe. The breakfast was nice. They had the usual continental breakfast and you could order hot items off the menu. We were on the 3rd or 4th floor. I lost count going up so many stairs. We had huge windows leading out to the street. The room was well lit, but warm. We opened the windows and could hear the street noise. Apparently, there was a bar/restaurant on the corner that was hopping well into the wee hours of the morning, so we got to listen. Then, early in the morning we could hear kids playing on the street. Needless to say, we didn’t rest much. There were lights in the mirror of the bathroom which flashed constantly no matter what we did. I wasn’t sure if I was in a disco or about to have a seizure. The location was perfect though, as we were moving our daughter into her house for Queens University.

This is very much a budget location, fine if you need a bed for the night. The room was pretty grotty and clearly not cleaned any more than a hoover and a change of bedding. The counter staff were always helpful when requests were made. The location itself is a student area, and with a lot of drug users around the streets at night, and both are loud!

Nice but Noisy
We liked the room itself but there really was a lot of noise outside the room, that was quite problematic.

I do not recommend at all. It's a hostel. We'll located but extremely noisy. I mean, guests. Staff was friendly but not willing to stop messing from guests all night long till 5am. Also fire alarm was on at 6am and they have no car parking but is advertised as they have. Room is OK but small.

Botanic rest hotel
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.

Won't be back
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.

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.

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.

Decent B&B conveniently located in Botanic area
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

Excellent experience.
It was an old place made modern. We felt save behind the locked door to the building. Sharing a bathroom and shower isn't ideal but they kept it clean and was so bad. Bfast room was a nice addition. Coffee was good and the potato bread was so good we asked for extra.
