While we enjoyed our stay In Shrewsbury overall, the hotel was a wee bit tired. Staff were friendly, but it seems the hotel itself may have seen better days…

Great location right in centre of town. Hotel itself is in major need of a refurb. Very dated and no food or drink available. Our room was extremely noise as it faced the road. Traffic noise and moving the bins at 7am woke us up.

Our stay was okay. The hotel seemed a bit run down. No breakfast available. Room was clean, both bed and bathroom. An old building so no lifts. Hotel is in ideal place to explore the centre of Shrewsbury. Value for money on a centrally located hotel.

Lovely old place but slight issues with bathroom heater on 24/7. Given it was hot outside this did make the room very warm. However, everything else about the place was good and the location was excellent.

Staff friendly and check in was good. Old historic property and decor very tired. Room whilst clean was dated and well worn and the mattress on the bed was dreadful which felt like it had a hole in the middle of it. It was a last minute booking and the cheapest of an expensive group but still a lot of money for a single room

Staff (Sam) welcoming, helpful, and informative. Only one coffee each in the bedroom was disappointing. Room was large and spacious unfortunately the tv was a little too small for the space. Didn’t eat at the hotel and didn’t see any options however great location for pubs and restaurants.

It simply is no longer a full service hotel and is only staffed to a bedroom booking only level. The Expedia site did not make this clear at any time.No meal service including hot drinks or breakfast. A bar in name only,no bar staff. The rotating front dek staff were as helpful as they could be,especially Sebastian, but we should have been aware tgat yhe oroperty was on care and maintenance only. A pity,as the location was super and the ancient property itself must have been fantastic when it was operational.
