Although I paid for a Junior room, all we got was extra space. The bed was a small double and the mattress didn'tfit the bed base, the mattress over hung, room was cold with no carpets. Only one plug in the room which we found when we were leaving the room. The shower was too low, my partner is 6ft, he couldn't have a proper shower. We could hear every noise outside and its a busy road. Hardly slept, won't be staying again. The only good thing is the room was clean & the parking was cheap.

Considerably past its best was the immediate impression on arrival. Room was adequate and clean. Can’t though believe they didn’t know the somewhat antique TV in the room didn’t work and had clearly not been plugged in and used recently. Also that their USP - secure parking in the middle of Shrewsbury - comes at an additional cost of £10. Stated elsewhere, but not alongside the sales blurb in a fully open way.

Sadly this historic hotel is in need of complete refurbishment. The carpets are worn, mismatched and date from 1980s. The shower was rusty, the mattress was so old you could feel the base through it, and the tv didn’t pick up many channels. Generally shabby and clearly not refurbished since it apparently housed illegal migrants in 2022. A real shame as it’s in a prime location with lots of original features.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely hotel with some lovely features - bar for example. Central location - middle of the town, way walking distance to train station. Our room was spacious and clean with tea and coffee. Bed comfy. The whole place just looked so tired. Black mould on our bathroom ceiling, aged taps and bathmat . Room was a little chilly probably due to metal frame window. The price, service, location were great, hotel itself although was very clean, was just very very tired.

Historical, traditional and lovely hotel. Ideal, central location for Shrewsbury town. Looking forward to seeing breakfast and a bar back at the property to give it a soul and a purpose. Main areas needs carpets cleaned and/ or changed just to complement its heritage and charm. Comfortable room: toasty and warm plenty of hot water,( as snowing outside) with toiletries and tea making facilities.
