Our second stay and would come back but downside is no shower and the bathroom was dated and sink full of hairs which wasn’t pleasant. The lighting in our room was poor. An extra lamp maybe by the mirror so you can see what you’re doing would be helpful. The service and staff were excellent. Dining was really good too. Lovely restaurant space. Breakfast is at the neighbouring Malthouse. Whilst food was good service was very poor, the tea/coffee facilities were dreadful. Had to ask for clean cups ( no saucers),only used teaspoons, this whole area looked unclean and let the whole stay down. It really wouldn’t take much to rectify this. Our last stay breakfast was lovely, waitress service, clean and had no complaints.

The carpet leading from the bar to the rooms was absolutely filthy. My colleague's room and mine both had baths only with a shower head on a hose. All the sealant around the bath was damaged or black mould stained. The beds weren't very comfy at all, I had a bad nights sleep. The whole place needs a massive update.

Wipe your feet on the way out! Staff young and not interested and do the bare minimum. Bed had a foot end and had to sleep diagonally. Carpet was stinking on the stairs in particular. Shower was on a lead from the bath taps and was under the eaves so had no chance of standing up.

Disgusting

Very Grubby Rooms

It's a very grubby place, filthy carpets, poorly maintained, no proper shower, poor housekeeping standards. The rooms require full renovation and to be thoroughly cleaned.

I have previously stayed at this property a couple of years ago. Arriving in the room the sky lite windows were all open allowing all dandelion seeds to settle on the surface of the beds . Carpet not vaccines and spiders and cobwebs everywhere . Not had this previously . Breakfast chaotic at the Malthouse but staff were fabulous and the breakfast was fantastic . Homemade pancakes are very tasty. Booked this properlty for next year for Iron Bridge 1940’s weekend so really hope there is an improvement .

An interesting pub with decent food, ideally situated for the iron bridge 10 mins walk away, and the museums . My room was comfortable and warm enough given the -5c outside. it had a part glass floor with industrial archeology visible through it.

Cosy room at an excellent price

Great stay. Room was clean, cosy, old with beams. It’s an old building so creaky floorboards and little corridors/stairs. A small amount of parking available. Breakfast was good and served at a pub/hotel a couple of doors down. Excellent value for the price and would absolutely stay again

Not amused

I think there is a special place in hell for hotel owners who chose to play loud gigs without having noise isolation in the rooms. My room was shaking (at 22:09) when I came down to ask when this cacophony will end I had to put fingers in my ears. Not sure why the dude who was playing needed it so loud, maybe he thought he was in Wembley arena or something. Other cons: cups in my room wasn't clean and toilet flush didn't work properly. Oh, and car park is almost always full (there were instances when we couldn't park there). Pros: very nice breakfast and nice friendly staff

Room was clean and tidy. Lighting wasn't brilliant, eco friendly bulbs = poor lighting. Food and service were excellent. Room was looking out over the river Severn.

We are travelling from city to city. It is what we call a "tent room". There are LOTS OF STAIRS and corridors to get to the rooms. We were only there for one night, has good showers and beds, the breakfast was included and good (it was in a sister hotel). The neighbourhood had a variety of restaurants. We chose the The Malthouse restaurant which was great!!! We also had the included breakfast there. It is in Historic Ironbridge - we were able to walk to the bridge and take photos under various sunlight conditions. It is across the street from the free Museum of The Gorge which tells of the flooding in the town. The COOP grocery store is also close by and it is a short drive to all the Ironbridge sites. The parking can be a challenge if you are late getting there. We would go again for one night, not many nights.
