10/10 Exceptional

Excellent service as per normal, we stayed for 3 nights and ate in the restaurant every night, food was excellent. All the staff are so friendly nothing too much trouble. Well stocked bar drinks not overpriced like some hotels. The only downside was my wife who has walking difficulties found the shower tray a little bit slippy.

Sian Wyn, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed here several times and would stay again . Hotel is a little tired in places but it adds to it’s character but some small repairs would make a difference ( just general maintenance) Rooms vary greatly depending on what part of the hotel you stay in. Staff are usually very friendly and helpful ( our checkin lady was lovely as was the waitress at breakfast) Breakfast is always great quality . Room is clean but can be a bit tired again depending on what part of the hotel. I love this hotel for its character charm and location so would happily stay again

8/10 Very good

Reception staff were excellent and very approachable. Bar staff were the same. Good breakfast and staff very efficient. Cleanliness of room not great. Plus when we arrived the heating had been turned off and the window in the room was wide open, so the room was absolutely freezing

Robert, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is located in the middle of old Shrewsbury so is ideal for wandering around the town. However we arrived by car and the hotel car park is a short walk away. It is necessary to drop your bags off first and then park the car and walk back. Access to the front of the hotel is via narrow cobbled streets which can be confusing.
Colin, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I booked a room to celebrate our 43rd wedding anniversary. I booked a restaurant in Shrewsbury too. When we checked in, the room was very cold, the radiator was lukewarm, and one of the towel rails in the bathroom wasn't working. We were hoping to shower and change before going out. I went to the reception and was told we could be upgraded and to pack our bag. When I returned, they gave us the key to a much poorer room with a dingy bathroom (with a shower over the bath) and condensation running down a window high on the bedroom wall. Apparently, the radiator in the upgraded room had leaked. By this time, it was too late for us to shower, as we needed to leave for our booked table at the restaurant. We were moved again on returning to the hotel. Evening and planned celebration ruined. I did complain, but have received no reply.

8/10 Very good

This is a nice Hotel ,in a great spot and we stayed in a smallish room 304 with a great balcony . The desk staff and bar staff were fine .However the hotel has a number of small faults that could easily be put right .1 Show head is blocked, Bathroom sink tap plumbed wrong way round , TV is on wall to side of bed so difficult to see when there is space on the wall directly in front of bed Had to wait 10 ~ 15 minutes before anyone asked what we would like to drink with breakfast . Wife has scrambled eggs on toast and could not eat scrambled eggs to watery , my breakfast was fine . All of these point are easy fixed and I would recommend you stay there .
Stephen, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Catfishing by a hotel is a new one on me! The room was extremely dated with the bed moving across the room as soon as I sat down. Wheels not locked and no way to stop it. TV I hadn’t seen since the 90s! Service was strange I felt like I was a scolded child when I left with my room key… pretty sure I can look after my room key I’ve managed to look after my car and house keys for many years without an issue. Breakfast very very old school. Solid poached eggs, cold toast, awful watery coffee. Unfriendly staff with an undertone of strict parenting isn’t what I want when I’m paying for a hotel. Very expensive and would recommend other hotels or air bnbs.
