Pleasant 1-night stay

Pleasant 1-night stay. Our check-in time was 3.00pm but staff at reception agreed to mind our baggage 2 hours earlier enabling us to head off early for a trip to Ludlow.

Lovely weekend away in historic Shrewsbury

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful, historic hotel and, whilst Shropshire Council parking instructions are at best, confusing, the hotel does have parking but it does get busy. The room was clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed having tea/coffee making facilities, hairdryer and fan.
Byron, 1-night trip

Great character

The hotel has lovely characteristics and whilst quirky, it was a great stay. I would return for a weekend sometime in the future with my wife for a short break

First dog friendly hotel experience

Our first experience of a dog friendly hotel and the staff couldn’t have been any nicer or helpful which totally made the difference and would 100% go again. Location is perfect to explore the town and surrounded by dozens of bars cafes and restaurants so you can just take your pick.
David, 1-night trip

Michael, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

No more

Extremely dirty and bad hygiene. I checked out immediately after I stayed at the room for 5mins. without conditionally refund from hotel. The room image is totally different as it’s realistic condition.
Lau, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay really comfortable bed and lovely old creaky building. Staff also very welcoming
Stephen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was a great hotel, but its a bit sad now.

My bed was lumpy, stairs a bit tatty, with worn carpet. Room was clean and towles white and fluffy. Water was hot. Tea and coffee on hand. I didn't ask aboit food, ut read the dinning ro was closed, so you need to ask , parking an a first come first served behind the hotel staff frendly day and night.
Terence, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Atmospheric, but could have been better

Location and ambience are great, and on-site parking always a plus. Disappointed that you have closed your kitchen, so no breakfast, and the plumbing is third-world. The worst part was the horrendously squeaky bed! This needs attention. I suspect the Hotel is now fighting a losing battle with the passing years, so go there while you still can.
William, 1-night trip

Perfect for a short stay

Perfect for a short-stay in Shrewsbury. Brilliant central location, friendly staff and a terrfific breakfast.
