Not what I expected
Booked the Rupert a day before travel and chose it as others were booked up and the pictures seemed quite nice. I thought that the Expedia discount for a double room in the centre of town was a good deal despite brekfast not being provided. Well... The room was a little dated to say the least. The bedding and decor were not tatty, but faded and in need of some updating. The bathroom was cramped and reminded me of staying at my grandparent’s house as a child. The shower was so poor that my girlfriend removed the head in order to wash her hair. The room was spacious enough, the dressing table had been slightly pulled away from the wall exposing the power cables that were hardwired into the desk and one of the draw of one of the bedside tables wouldn’t close properly. The wall mounted LCD TV was great although looked a little out of place. The view was of a tar and gravel flat roof scattered with cigarette ends and a soiled pair of white boxer shorts. Other than heavy dust on the skirting boards and behind the radiator the room was very clean. I should have checked out and found another hotel, but thought it best to be British about it (put up with it and then have a good moan).
Traveller's tip
Shrewsbury was a lovely place to visit. We will certainly be returning, but for longer and to see more of it’s tourist attractions.

Wonderful location
This hotel, dating from the 1400’s, is very convenient to merchants, restaurants, train station and the castle and abbey (location of the Brother Cadfael books). Rooms are small but comfortable, floors and walls charmingly crooked, bathtub/showers are long and narrow but the water is reliable. The hotel is affiliated with 3 restaurants which serve different type meals and prices are in line with other establishments. The pub next door closed (and quieted down!) at midnight, or 2 am Friday night. It was a wonderful deal for the money spent and we all enjoyed our vacation.

Very friendly hotel
Very friendly and helpful staff and comfortable rooms. Front facing rooms might benefit from double glazing as noise from the town can be heard at weekends.
