Good position in the town overlooking sea. Balcony room a plus. Had to pay for drinks and each meal course as it was ordered.
Food tasty but could not fully exploit the menu as the chef was ill one day.
Breakfast ciabatta with bacon excellent. Bit mean with the pots of tea but that was easily resolved.
All staff pleasant and helpful.

The staff especially Sam were extremely helpful and friendly.
We had a double sea view room, it was lovely and clean although small.
Patio doors that lead on to the communal balcony so wasn’t much privacy.
It was very hot in the evening, with only the tiniest window to open and you couldn’t leave the door open as anyone could access the room, so no air and no air conditioning..

Nothing to write home about really. Food menu was considerably reduced because the freezer was broken, so we ate elsewhere. Breakfast was ok, once we were able to get served. Room small, limited storage and dark bathroom. Not many customers in evidence whereas other places along the road were buzzing.

We booked a last minute break as the weather was expected to be great and this little hotel and pub turned out to be every bit as good as the weather. The room was quite compact but equally very comfortable, and had the benefit of a balcony over looking the estuary and boat yard. The afternoon entertainment in the garden was really good as was the fresh fish, prawns and oysters served from the garden bar. The pub was especially busy due the sizzling bank holiday weather but all the bar and waiting staff did a brilliant job. I’m sure we will be visiting here again soon.

Location lovely, staff happy and helpful, food excellent. The balcony was great but very tired and would have been nice if was prettier as the sunsets were amazing. The hotel gardens were ok but nothing special and no parasols available until our last day and we had asked a few times and we saw customers leaving because of it as the weather was delightful. Overall four star but just a few overlooked details were missing which would have made my review five star across all aspects. Parking for disabled was missing which was a shame as we felt unable to leave in case no parking available when we returned. Think should be more parking for all. Very clean and again staff very very nice.

The booking was made through Expedia with filters applied for 4 star hotels. There was a sign on the property indicating 4 star Inn. The sign was probably 20 years old or more. This is a pub with some letting rooms. Ours was in a converted outbuilding. Billed as a luxury double with garden views. The room was cramped, a double bed, 2 bedside cupboards, one bedside lamp. A dressing table with one chair, tea and coffee facilities. There was no wardrobe only an understairs alcove with a short hanging rail and 4 hangers. The door to the bathroom was swollen and needed a shoulder barge to open and close it. The toilet roll holder was hanging off the wall, etc. The bedroom carpet was badly stained in places. The 2nd night someone was in the room above and could be heard moving around - in fairness that could have been a lot worse. The garden is non existent; 3 rooms share a small fenced area with 3 trestle table and bench sets that have seen better days, set on a few paving slabs with gravel surround. Beyond the fence is a children's playground. The bed was comfortable and linen and towels clean but no one came to clean and tidy the room between nights. Breakfast of scrambled eggs and bacon on toast was fine but served in a cereal bowl! Coffee was dire. Try the Coastal Cafe in town which opens at 9. Internet service was poor and intermittent. You have to walk past smelly bins at the back to get to the rooms. In short this was far from a 4 star hotel although priced much the same.

The victory at Mersea is a nice holiday hotel in a really nice location.
We walked to sandbank holiday resort along the beach and walked back through the little town.
We will definitely be back again as we still have a lot we want to see.
A friendly island, with plenty to do.
We stayed in room 8 which was noisey during the day as a childrens play park right next door, but we were out most of the day, but would be too noisy for elderly people.
Had 2 breakfasts included in the price which were big and delicious.
Highly recommend, just make sure the tide is out or have to wait before crossing the bridge.

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast provided a good level of choice and was tasty.

The only downside for us was that there was a high level of noise from a band (I assume) playing in the bar downstairs which we found irritating when trying to settle down to sleep.

Otherwise we were very happy with the hotel.

Nice Stay

I really enjoyed my stay at the Victory. There are lots of positives about this bed and breakfast.

Cleanliness could be looked at. Throughout the site, there were lots of cobwebs both in the dining room and in the room I stayed in. The staff, super friendly, were very helpful. However, there was a lack of experience with some younger staff not knowing where the extra toilet roll was. There was no welcome pack or information card in the rooms, so I was unsure of how to use the WiFi and the irregular timing of the restaurant (understandable as it's a small community) made me unsure of whether it would be open or not. Lots of places close at 5 in the area. Communication could be improved (no response via the questions sent in message centre on hotels.com).

I liked my room and I was very surprised about the size of the bathroom, however the shower had very low water pressure. There are no fans to use or borrow, so I brought my own. Luckily there was a strong wind during the time I there.

There is a lovely area to sit outside and it's close to the beach where I spent a lot of my time.

The area is in dire need of a small convenient store as the closest one is about a 14 or 15 minute walk away from the area. Lots of really great restaurants in the area, including the Victory itself. Don't forget anything! Cars would be helpful to get around the area as there is not a lot of public transport or taxis.

Room very nicely renovated but spoilt by a really grubby balcony (which we had paid extra for) with overflowing ashtray on the table. Service very friendly but very odd hours of service - we had been told food served until 8.00 pm, but when we tried to order at 7.30 the manager said we were too late! She kindly managed to get the chef to provide a course but we felt rushed. In the morning despite notice on the door saying breakfast served at 8.30 we got down to the dining room to find no one around, same member of staff was on shift starting at 8.30 and said breakfast not served until

We have stayed at The Victory three times now, it is very convenient if you want to go out for food around West Mersea and don't want to worry about driving. Plus it is close to the seafront walk of West Mersea Beach. Rooms are very clean, plus you have the advantage that they are part of a pub, therefore the ability to step down for a drink or food at any point.

Great value for money

We had room 9 which had an upstairs with twin beds as well as the double room down stairs. Plenty of space for just my friend and I. Beds very comfy, and we loved having our own outside space at the back.
We couldn't put our finger on what the slight odour was in the room, but it didn't spoil our stay, so we didn't report it.
The breakfast was absolutely gorgeous! as was our meal the night before.
This place is very good value for money, and I would stay here again.

A stay away

We were made welcome on arrival and helped to our room with our bags. We enjoyed the balcony with a view and the comfort of our room, although the space was limited. There was a tiny space for clothes hanging and nowhere to store cases or bags. The bathroom was lovely and was very clean. We had a good breakfast and an evening meal which was disappointing, the menu was short of fresh options and lacked imagination. The attention to detail was poor regarding the food & service and really needs to improve. The staff were engaging and friendly, happy to help. The location is good and there are other local places to eat nearby.

Overnight stay

I found the hotel comfortable with friendly staff who were obliging.
Its a striking building with nice views. We only stayed one night, we were attending a friends wedding.
The rooms are modern and fresh looking if not a little overpriced. I realise this is essex and tjere aren't many options on Mersea but £140 per night is high. I guess if we all pay it it will not change.
The breakfast was delicious and again the staff were obliging.
The tables in the restaurant are tacky to the touch and i noticed one staff member spraying some kind of chemical all over the table then wiped it off with paper, it was a bit over the top and would be better if it was rinsed off with water....no more sticky tables.
Anyway overall a great night.

Unfortunately we didnt sleep very well, the bed was uncomfortable, the room was hot, (it didnt help that the towel rail was on full blast). A fan in the room would have helped. The bathroom mirror light & extractor fan didnt work & needs attention. People smoking outside directly below us, so the smell of cigarette smoke wafted up to our room, l realise not much can be done about that.
On a positive note the full english breakfast was delicious.

Our twin-room was not good

I'm sure there are much nicer rooms at the Victory, but, unfortunately for us, they were not available. We requested a double room, but were given a twin room as it was the only one available. The carpet on the floor was very dirty and stained. The beds were tiny and on opposite sides of the room. The lamp-shade was tatty. It was cold and raining when we stayed, so we looked for heating. The option was a plug-in electric heater, but the legs had come off, so we had to balance the heater precariously on the feet. The bathroom door handle came off in my hand. The sink was grubby. The shower temperature wasn't consistent. The toilet seat did not fit the toilet.
The breakfast was OK and the staff were friendly, but the room we stayed in needs a lot of attention.

Plenty of tea/coffee facilities in the room with decent sized cups (unusual for recent hotel stays) with extra tea, coffee etc on a table in the hall outside the room.

This is a very nice pub that has had an expensive make over. The staff are friendly and work hard to try to ensure good service. When I booked the only room with outside space that was available was the suite which is spacious and has a modern bathroom with bath. However, the outside space was a large terrace that over looked the children’s playground and outside tables. Not a problem. The problem was the smell of cooking as the kitchens were just underneath our room. There were bins there as well but a member of staff moved them when I complained. As you will see from the photo the view was somewhat obstructed by the banks of solar panels on the roof to our left. None of this should deter anyone from staying at this pub just don’t pay the extra for the suite/ room 5! We ate here on our second night and the food was fine with good service.

Nice enough place, just be warned if you eat here.

Room was nice but not clean, didn’t check draws before putting clothes in, they were covered in dust when we took them out. The whole room could of done with some TLC.
The staff were friendly enough. It must be difficult getting back up and running post lockdown and maybe they still have cleaners furloughed. But this was no excuse for the restaurant, after ordering the 1st alarm bell sounded, most of the unattended plates were unfinished, in hope more than expectation we thought the portion size might be the reason. The 2nd bell sounded as the young lady cleared 2 tables and returned to wipe them over with the same cloth and no disinfectant of any sort, which was concerning in these COVID days. This was enough for my partner to want leave, unfortunately I persuaded her to stay. Then the meal arrived, which will live long in the memory. The burger was worse than any football burger I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen some pretty bad ones knocked up over the years. The chips I can only presume were from plates of other patrons that also couldn’t eat them, but they must of been warmer when they had them. The garlic bread, may of been in the same kitchen as some garlic but doubt they came into contact and it also avoided the grill as it was literally bread and I felt pity for the sad looking onion rings. We took1 bite and left. It tasted as bad as it looked.
The only other place we could get something at the time was Cowabunga pizza, which was really good as pizza go. Give it a go🍕

Rooms new, very clean, and in good condition. It is a pub so expect a bit of noise until close, you do get the benefit of a drink without having to drive. Close to the main oyster restaurants and the beach.

Nice bar, very friendly staff, room 1 was spacious, comfortable and has a huge bath. We didn't eat at the Victory because the main reason for our visit was to eat at the Oyster Bar directly across the road...which was fantastic...
