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.

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.

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 .

Check in was good, friendly staff and offered a glass of sherry! Hotel is very historic and could be stunning but needs a lot of investment. It’s very tired and seems to be stuck in a time warp, but having said that everywhere was very clean. The room was a good size with a bathroom off of a lobby area. But although we didn’t check in until 5pm (2 hours after the earliest time of 3pm), the radiators hadn’t been turned on and so the room and bathroom in particular were very cold. The bed was very soft and the pillows very lumpy, way past their best! There was no hot water in the morning which was disappointing as the bath looked very inviting! The breakfast that was included was served in the panelled dining room and was very nice. We mentioned our issues the next morning on checking out but the lady on reception said she didn’t usually work there so could only pass on our message. So all in all, we were disappointed by the hotel which is a shame as the position in Shrewsbury is excellent and it could be an amazing place to stay.

Charming, quaint old hotel with excellent staff.

A very attractive, old Tudor style hotel. Great atmosphere. Absolutely charming, friendly and helpful staff. The room was smallish but adequate. Quiet and comfortable. bathroom clean. A good breakfast included. Hotel parking ( £10.00 per night) was quite a way from the hotel.
