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.

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.

We found the Victory Inn at Mersea to be very comfortable and the service was brilliant. Staff were especially helpful and the position was great for my 6 year old grandson as he spent lots of time in the play area and we could keep our eye on him. We will definitely be booking again for sometime in the summer for a longer stay.

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.

There was a problem with a leak in the bathroom and the hotel gave us a full refund and has offered us a free nights stay. Can’t ask for me than that. Great staff, great service and once the problem is fixed very nice room. Best regards David Wolff

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

Loved the position, had a balcony overlooking the estuary. Staff very friendly. Needs extra attention to cleanliness. Shower drain not cleaned, water collected in the tray couldn't run out quick enough. Tea tray not clean and cobwebs above the bed.

A great one night stay.

We have stayed her before and we will stay again. A lovely location by the sea. Very efficient and friendly staff. A few issues with room (no.5), water not draining from bath, mirror light not working. I know maintenance will be sorting these out soon, probably already sorted! Wonderful cooked breakfast in the morning.
