Jolly Sailor- Fish on the Quay

We had an amazing 1 night stay. We had parked up the road just off high street (24 hour car park) as parking limited (permit only outside) at the pub but was easy to find car park and walk down to the pub was a couple of minutes. When we arrived in the pub we were welcomed by Babs and Summer. Summer showed us to our room, you have to go through a staff only area and as it is a pub the ceilings were low but we liked that as it makes the stay different. We were told all about the late night procedure once the pub is closed how you get in and out and given emergency numbers if needed. The stairs up were steep but that comes with staying in an old pub. Our room was lovely (room 3) had air con, nice comfortable bed and small but adequate bathroom with small bottles of shampoo, shower gel etc which is a nice touch. Water provided and tea and coffee biscuits in room. We went for a stroll in Maldon and when we returned Ebony was at the bar, she was very friendly and welcoming. We sat outside overlooking the water. This pub is in a lovely setting. We had a great nights sleep and breakfast was amazing with a great choice, served again by Babs and Summer. Overall our stay was excellent and I couldn’t fault all the staff they were great and very friendly. We will be back to stay again.

We stayed for one night. Being an old pub the building has matured and shows it via the slight slope of some floors. Our room was small but perfectly adequate and we had a great view of the Hythe from our window overlooking the Thames barges. The room has a TV, internet access and a kettle with plenty of tea and coffee. The shower worked well and the bed was clean and comfortable which is pretty much all you need to know. We enjoyed celebrating my wife's birthday in Maldon and for the price we paid for the we didn't expect five star and our only complaint is the lack of car parking in the vicinity of the pub.

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.

It was great for what I needed that night, thank you

Lovely location on Hythe Quay

Comfortable stay , room had Air con which was excellent as it was a very hot day/night it was pleasant and what we needed

Lovely room with view. Manager Babs was very nice and cleaner found my lost hearing aid. Everything was lovely though there wasn’t a bedside light. But I had a torch so it was ok.

No breakfast although we paid for it. No chambermaid services example bed not made up tea cups and tea making not replenished each day

Travelled three hours to get .no parking.anywhere .and then get told hotels been shut down.not impressed

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

Loved our stay there. Very friendly staff and enjoyed the breakfast. Rooms are good with a great view over the harbour.

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

Manager of the premises Adrian was so welcoming and helpful The position of the bar / hotel was in a beautiful area The food was amazing thank you chef We will be back

The Fish on the Quay was fine staff friendly Food and drink good too would stay again

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.

A very friendly and welcoming pub with perfectly adequate rooms.

Picturesque lovely views of Themes Barge's Great walks. Lovely room very comfortable. Great atmosphere in the bar .Excellent Breakfast. Great price highly recommend! Warning parking could be a problem. warden giving out tickets at 9am!
