Beautiful original features hotel
What a great hotel in a good location. The building is full of character with original build. So good to stay in hotel with a real history instead of sterile new builds. Reception staff and dining room staff were good and the breakfast was excellent. Would recommend this hotel for its quirkiness and original features.

Nice old hotel in a great location
We had a very nice stay at the Lion. It's a fascinating old building in a great central location. The rooms are basic, but very clean and the bed was comfortable with great pillows. The breakfast was very good. The hotel is a little frayed around the edges, but that adds to the character! The staff were all lovely and very helpful.

comfortable clean stay for short break
The Staff were super helpful, from restaurant to front desk. Breakfast was very tasty. The hotel is a little tired at the edges in some places - worn carpets etc. but it was very clean and tidy and staff more than made up for it.

Warm and friendly hotel in perfect location.
The Lion Hotel is a warm, welcoming, cheap and cheerful hotel. Service at reception is excellent and staff are so friendly and helpful. If there was an award for a hotel with the creakiest stairs and floors this could win it! Interior is dated and needs a refresh. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Location was perfect for our weekend in Shrewsbury. Customer service is excellent. When we return to Shrewsbury for another weekend break, we'll definitely consider coming back to The Lion Hotel.

Budget stay
Kind of a tired old place, historic but shabby. A lot of stairs to rooms. Minimal hot breakfast, lukewarm showers. Okay for one night and centrally located, but definitely a budget stay.

night away in shrewsbury
We booked this hotel as we liked the idea of staying in such an old historic building, it has in truth seen far better days and is in need of refurbishment in just about all areas, the staff I came across were all doing their best and were mostly very young. We were in room 301 which served its purpose but very tired with thread bare carpet. Hopefully at some point there will be investment into the hotel as it is a fantastic building in a great location.

Passable for a stopover
Overall a pleasant enough hotel. Many original features but definitely looking tired and unloved. Breakfast was excellent as was the service at both check in and breakfast. Absence of hot water from the shower was not pleasant
