Staff were very friendly but service at breakfast could be improved. Breakfast was good. Accommodation a little tired but clean and comfortable.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent spacious room with wonderful estuary views. Hotel is really well located for walks around the island and close enough to walk into town too.

We stayed for 3 nights. The room was never cleaned. The tea cups never washed. We asked for the bathroom radiator to be turned on so that we could dry our towels. Not done. No real ale as they had an issue with the lines; as did Coast ( another pub locally) which begs me to wonder if the pipes were ever cleaned!!

It was a good stay eventually after the upset of being told they were serving food and the kitchen never opened. Could do with some staff training, and customer service.

I only stayed one night but I cannot fault the experience. The staff members were very friendly and helpful and the room was warm, clean and comfortable. I slept really well! Breakfast was plentiful and the full English looked amazing but more than I could cope with. I settled for Eggs Benedict and coffee, which was plenty to keep me going for the morning. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Our second stay here. Really friendly and helpful staff. Small but comfortable bedroom. Great walk in shower. We didn't have dinner here but we enjoyed a fresh cooked to order English breakfast which was delicious. We'll definitely stay again when in the area.
