Stayed here one night in order to attend a business event.

Well located overlooking the harbour and very central to the key Bristol attractions. However- be warned that the builders are in carrying out a refurbishment. I had a room on the 5th floor which is part way through the refurb. Booked in at 4pm hoping for a shower and to get some work done but the banging went on until 6ish. Had to negotiate my way around the workmen and their clutter to reach my room!

The upside is that the room was very nice. Modern well furnished and a really good size. Strange that the bathroom was so small- they could have taken more space from the room with out any loss of that spacious feeling.

Breakfast next day also very good. Usual buffet but hot and good choice of quality content.

Might have given this a 4 if it werent for the builders. Make sure you get a refurb room- the corridors of the non refurbed floors looked very tired.

We arrived late on a Friday night, with possibly half of Ireland, into Bristol as we were attending the Heineken Cup Final in Cardiff the following afternoon. Our friends who had booked the accomodation (2 double rooms) 12 months previously received several incorrect confirmations and it all looked a bit touch and go when they disclosed that a gentleman with a similar name had taken one of our rooms! After a complimentary drink in the bar while they sorted it out, we were given keys to our roooms.

Located on the 6th floor, it became clear we had been upgraded to make up for the mistake. We had a beautiful room overlooking the front of the hotel which turned out to be very quiet. The room/bathroom/corridors had been upgraded recently and were tastefully decorated throughout. Shower/Water pressure in bathroom was great. Towels could have been better - a bit threadbare and hard.

Complimentary tea/coffee/water, good hairdryer, iron & ironing board, large flatscreen tv are all nice touches.

Modern bar downstairs with nice friendly bar staff and breakfast is served in large airy glass house over looking the waterfront. The hotel has a function room at the front of the hotel which was busy both nights we were there - staff were very good about checking residents cards and removing non residents.

Hotel 15 minute walk from train station. Hotel backs onto waterfront with bars and restauants to visit.

We stayed for two nights at Jury's Hotel, end of April.

On arrival, entered our 5th floor room (510) and couldn't believe how tiny it was. Barely room to walk around the bed, only one bedside table, with a desk table opposite. There was nowhere to sit apart from on the bed as there was no chair in the room. There was no mirror anywhere (except in the bathroom) so nowhere to dry hair. The "wardrobe" was approx 6" wide, hardly sufficient for two peoples' clothes, and no cupboards to put anything away in. No ironing board or safe anywhere. The lighting in the main room was appalling, it was very dim.

The bathroom was miniscule, we're not that fat but struggled to sit down on the loo, it was a squeeze!

Our friends arrived later that evening, and invited us into their room next door. We couldn't believe how big it was compared to our room, and we were paying the same nightly rate as they were! The fire escape plan on the wall showed our room as being the same size as our friends', but it wasn't, it was probably less than half the size of theirs!

Anyway, we were in a rush to go out and meet more friends, so put up with it that night. Next morning however, we complained to the Receptionist, and the Duty Manager very kindly arranged for us to move rooms. The new room was just across the corridor, so we could still be near our friends.

The difference in the upgraded room was amazing - at least we could swing a cat there! It had a huge bed, a sofa, the desk had a chair, the bathroom was a decent size, and there was plenty of cupboard space. Complete with ironing board, safe AND trouser press! The bathroom was pretty large as well. It was absolute luxury compared to the first room.

So thank you Jurys for arranging the swap, though we should never have been given 510 in the first place - maybe it should be classed as a room for a single occupant? If allocated to two people, it should be at an economy rate and guests shouldn't have to pay the same as people in decent sized rooms! Being cooped up in the tiny room for one night spoilt what was otherwise a perfect weekend in Bristol.

As far as the way the rooms faced, the first room faced an inner courtyard, which although wasn't the best view, was very quiet. The second room faced the road at the front, and being on the 5th floor we didn't really experience any road noise. More the noise from seagulls!

Stayed in a refurbished room, smartly decorated but with some curious equipment gaps - eg no towel rails so towels cannot dry; no mirror in the bedroom so dont expect to dry your hair in front of one girls!

Room service was very quick but food was nasty. Breakfast service was friendly and about average in terms of choice and quality.

This is a good central location with free parking next door, but I'm amazed a previous reviewer thought it quiet. This is a busy part of town, day and night and therefore noisy into the wee small hours. Overall, ok, but I would (and did) definately eat out!
