Two nights away.

Staying here was good. Location was fine. The room was functional and clean. Shower was not great lack power. Air conditioning was very useful but I did find the slight damp smell after use. Parking is an issue as no onsite parking, you can park outside the other pub down the road. Otherwise you have to park after 7pm on the roadside and move before 9am. You need to be able to climb steep stairs and be aware of low ceiling heights. But overall a pleasant stay.

Pub closed!

It never happened! We arrived on Saturday 14th June to find pub had been shut by Environmental Health on Friday 13th, citing a rat infestation & general lack of cleanliness. We had to make alternative arrangements. Later, Babs, the manager, rang citing electrical failure as reason for closure & apologising. She could have told us on Friday. I rang back several times & left messages so that we could discuss the situation. There was no further response from her.

Strange arrangement getting to and from your room. Clean and quiet, but the bathroom needs some work, wobbly toilet on a lean and it looks like it’s been replaced but no one could be bothered to tidy up where the old one was. And breakfast at 9am is just too late. In fairness, they did a work around with the evening meal to compensate, but overall an odd hotel. If you want a nice view though, go for it!

We are a group of 5 ladies who between us booked 3 rooms at the jolly sailor. The purpose of the trip was to attend the Maldon Soultasia To start with the property looked very quaint and welcoming The manager Babs was welcoming and very friendly. However as she showed us our rooms we were struck by how tatty the lobby & stairs looked there were loads of flies around the lobby where the coffee machine was. The rooms were old as expected but there was dust everywhere. My bed looked clean however two of the friends sharing a room found grubby sheets and a foreign receipt under the pillow which clearly showed the bed hadn’t been changed. This bedroom had a bathroom across the corridor which had a dirty toilet which after speaking to Babs got cleaned. Nevertheless the cleaning equipment was left outside the bathroom door which created a trip hazard neither ladies in this room could sleep in the bed. In fact one actually drove home to middlesex at 5.45am she was disgusted I had to wash my cup and saucer in shower gel before I could use them this property, at the very least needs a deep clean and regular cleaning. I have never stayed in a hotel, paid £212 50 for one night and felt so cooty because of the dirt and grime Babs and the bar team were very friendly and were great front of house. But, the story behind the scenes is different. We gave our feedback to Babs and the owner offered us a free lunch as comp we rejected this offer asking for a refund. The owner said no

Quirky but comfortable

Quirky and comfortable. Room was not level but expected in a pub this old Radiator was very noisy so I turned it off which sorted it nicely Green emergency lighting in room tended to light up the room too much Lovely view from the room overlooking the quay which you can’t better If you are driving, parking is very limited outside with just an hour between 9 and 7 pm. I got around this by parking from 6 pm to 10 am but it can fill quick Plenty of car parks are available at cost nearby 10 min walk which have free motorcycle parking Breakfast was good

Cheap but shabby

Good spot by the estuary, bar OK, Staff very friendly, food good, massive breakfast. But the room was poor, small, smelly, with a noisy saniflo toilet, a weak and rubbish shower, uneven floor, which didn't bother us too much but some people may struggle. Bedding and towels were clean although very old. Access is through the pub kitchen! And up some step back stairs. We had only booked on night, which was fine, the accommodation was very cheap, the premises need an update.
