Jurys Inn Islington

Having prevouisly stay at Jurys in Watford and Liverpool, I was looking forward to staying at the Islington hotel on business. However I couldn't have been more wrong, from the outside the hotel looked grand and welcoming along with the reception. Howver once i enter my room, i felt like i have entered a hotel room back in the 60's. The room certainly was not what i am use to with the Jurys brand. Firstly I was a young women travelling alone and they located me a room on the first floor, which is not the normal policy for the hotel. Secondly the beds had no sheets on them, the bathroom sink was dirty and had a cracked in and the bathroom was shabby and old.

Finally the gap under the door was concerning. I could see peoples feet outside my door and could put my hands under the door on top of one another 4 times. Being a young lone women i found the gap under the door concerning. I was told at receptoion that there was no more rooms on either nights i was staying and haad to make do with the room i had. Also i was told that the bed was made up to hotel standards which i know was incorrect.

The staff at the hotel was adverage until they found out while i was staying at the hotel they could not be more helpfull however i still had t make do with the room.

Dear Trip Advisor,

Thank you very much for your comments.

I would like to assure you that we take security very seriously and to that end have safety deposit boxes at reception, CCTV throughout the Hotel and dead bolts on all bedroom doors.

In addition all room attendants are vetted to insure that this area is not compromised in any way.

I hope to have the pleasure in welcoming you back sometime in the future.

With kind regards,

Daniel Downey

Deputy General Manager

Having stayed here briefly last month, I booked for four days through Lastminute. I have nothing but praise. As promised, we now get many Freeview channels and there is SkySports in the bar. There is a large comfortable lounge if you need more space. I slept as well as I ever do and the hotel was always clean and fully functioning. Good water pressure and a very acceptable breakfast buffet as part of the lastminute deal.

I will definitely be booking in here for my next visits to London. If you like good thin-crust pizza, find Pizzeria Oregano down a lane off Upper Street.
