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.

Don’t bother

Firstly, when it says they have parking, they don’t. Secondly, the room was unclean and beyond shabby. Photos will say it all. Thought about walking out and would have had we had anywhere else to stay. Would have complained but the only people around at breakfast were the cleaners. The toilet was a very loud macerator toilet which was chucking out a sewage stench and the side panel of the shower ( which trickled out lukewarm water) was smashed. The Lino had obviously had previous leakage because it was all lumpy and smelt damp. I cannot stress how poor it was. I have stayed in hostels which were better. By far, the worst accommodation we have ever suffered. The food was nothing to write home about. Overall, steer well clear. If any management read this review, we would appreciate some contact because we would like our money back!

Fish on the quay, Lovely little B&B.

A really good stay at fish on the quay. Staff were lovely, would like to mention especially jack (barman) and Kieran (assistant manager as they were happy, and always spoke to us, to be honest all staff were friendly.The room was very nice, we were lucky as we had the bathroom in our room, but other rooms don’t. It’s a nice little B&B. Breakfast was really good and a good size,chef did a brilliant job. One thing I would say is that it look late like u don’t get housekeeping for the stay while u are there, the bin did get full and tea and coffee did not get filled up, BUT all you have to do is ask if you need anything and they are happy to supply it. Would recommend it and definitely would stay there again if in the area, would love to see the area in the summer.

When i book somewhere, like everybody else i read the comments and probably like everyone you look at the negatives first. The more i read them the more i wanted to stay here. So if you are looking for a 5 star hotel with all ammenties under 3 years old please dont come here. This wonderful 400 year old pub is full of quirky, the floors creek and are not all spirt level flat, the plumbing babbles along at its own pace but hot water comes and the shower got me clean. No bath in our room (we did have access to one) so we bathed our baby in the longest sink you will find. I bumped my head on a few low ceiling, well I'm 6 foot and the biulders were not. The bed was comfortable and clean the veiw was so peaceful and the food was fab. The breakfast kept me full till evening. Most importantly the staff went way beyond your posh hotels they were friendly and couldn't have made our stay more.of a delight. So come here if you love the rich history of England but avoid it if you want coperate blandness. Thank you Babs and your team
