My boyfriend was taking me to Belfast for Valentines day and after a lot of diliberation we decided to stay at the Jurys hotel as we hadn't stayed here before and I can tell you we won't be staying again. We weren't expecting much, but this hotel was just about 1 step up from a Travel Lodge. When we got to the room is was very disappointing, we believed we booked a double room with sofa, we got a double room with a single bed overlooking the kitchen which meant we had to keep the curtains closed the whole time.
We also wanted a room with a bath, hence the reason we didn't go for a cheaper alternative like the Ibis, to say we got a bath is pushing it, we got half a bath which you need to bring your own bubble bath as the body wash they supply is stuck to the wall and doesn't make it into the bath and when you were in the bath you have to stand up to reach it. The extractor in the bathroom doesn't work very well and you can't leave the bathroom door open when your having a shower as this sets off the smoke alarm! Also one of our towels was dirty.
Breakfast was dispappointing also, misssing vital ingredients such as soda & potato bread. And the red sauce was a cheap brand and very bitter.
On a more positive note the hotel is in a good location and the staff were mainly pleasant. But there are far nicer hotels in good locations. The parking was expensive as well, unlike many hotels that have good rates with the local car parks this hotel didn't seem to.
