We seriously contemplated not staying at all! Check in was here's an envelope your rooms up the stairs! the stairs and corridors were like stepping back into the 70s, dingy with a really musty smell. Mouldy ceilings .. The room well to say it's not like the pictures on the website would be an understatement. Holes in the walls filthy windows, bathroom door that wouldn't close, shower i wouldn't even step in. The bed at least the sheets were clean but in terms of comfort..none existent. I realise this is a relatively cheap room above a pub but in terms of any kind of comfort there was none. Grim is the term that springs to mind. The most welcoming part was the security staff on the door😂. All in all a Terrible experience I'm afraid to say

Stayed here previously, staff were welcoming and friendly, this time not so much, we've recommended this hotel to friends who have stayed, tbh no more,poor accommodation, felt like we were put in a single room which was apparently inadequate.

Not bad!

It's a very old pub with a few rooms, I was on the top floor overlooking the castle which meant it was very quiet but up three flights of stairs! They don't do any food but obviously Shrewsbury has a multitude of eateries. Only a short walk to the center of town and right next to the station. Staff were nice too. Would I stay again? probably not but then there are literally hundreds of places I haven't tried yet!

Ok budget stay

Useful email before arrival with details of where to park car. Wi-Fi code etc. Laid back check in, staff friendly. Room was at the very top. Lots of old narrow stairs. Room was big enough but en-suite quite small with awkward high step up to get into shower. Also a very musty smell in en suite. Beds were very comfy noise from pub below negligible. Overall an ok budget stay close to centre.
