Just returned from an excellent stay at the Jury's Clifton Ford Hotel in London. The hotel is superbly located, being about 5/10 mins walk off Oxford Street.

Having seen other reviews, I was initially wary and requested a refurbished room for my 2 night stay with my wife. The check in desk allocated a room to me in the morning, although it wasn't available until after 2pm.

We ended up on the 4th floor (424) and the room was clean & tidy & was Ok space wise. A comfortable double bed & LCD TV was installed and the bathroom, although small was fine. Although we were opposite the lift, we weren't disturbed by noise from other guests.

We booked Bed & Breakfast & I'd recommend others to book breakfast in advance, it costs £18 per person otherwise. The service was good and we had no problems getting our meal.

The VirginActive gym looked great ( thats about as close as I got) and the pool / sauna / steam room where good too, not too busy.

All in all, if you're looking for a modestly priced London break close to everything in a 4* hotel with a pool (pretty rare in London), I'd recommend the Clifton Ford.

Just came back from a weekend away in London. Stayed at Jurys Clifton Ford for 2 nights. After reading some reviews on the rooms I was abit hesitant about staying here and made sure to request a refurbished room. On check- in we were allocated a room on the 4th floor 449??? The room was dark and depressing, both the bathroom and closet doors didnt close, the double bed only had room on one side to get on. In addition our tiny TV on the floor didnt seem to work either. If this was a refurbished room I dont want to know what it was before, Requested a room move, which they did. Was given another room on the 5th floor. This room was much bigger and had plenty of natural light. But the decor was just the same, old and tired. All in all I would not reccomend this hotel, they have spent all their money on refurbishing the ground floor which is amazing, and left nothing for their rooms. If they have refurbished their rooms i certainly was not allocated one.

This was our first visit to London and we were greeted with a pleasant reception at the Jurys Clifton which set the tone for the rest of our trip.

My wife and I arrived a day late due to plane problems so we missed our scheduled day tour and the reception gladly helped us plan out our day on our own.

The location is in an excellent area within walking distance of Oxford and the main terminal for the open top bus tours.

Also, they were doing renovations the second night we were there and the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout the whole visit.

This hotel has a good location - 5 minutes from Oxford Street.

The rooms in this hotel are awful and small, no in room movies, old (small) bathrooms, 3 irons in one room (only one worked - weird) and pinging lifts.

The ground floor common areas are nice.

Definately would not go back.
