Drepano Holidays from AU$1,374

There was no ventilation in the bathroom, so every shower resulted in a lot of condensation on all surfaces, making the floor extremely slippery. Also, there’s always a lot of condensation around the windows with water dripping on the floor. Again, it’s a safety hazard. Location of the hotel was wonderful, within walking distance to many landmarks.

Clean room and very helpful and friendly staff.

Staff was very nice. Room was maintained nicely by housekeeping. It was located in a central area with the train and cabs nearby.

The breakfast at The Botany is truly exceptional—easily better than most cafés and on par with, if not superior to, many comparable hotels I’ve stayed at. The quality, variety, and execution were outstanding, and it’s clear there’s an exemplary chef behind it. It honestly goes beyond words. Room service was reasonable. One small improvement would be the replenishment of basic amenities such as bottled water, body cream and toothpaste during housekeeping, without needing to request them. That said, the experience overall was still exceptional, largely because the breakfast alone set a remarkably high standard.
