Lovely old building. Room was great. Noise from the pub downstairs was not too intrusive. Would happily stay there again.

Parking in the Center of Shrewsbury is a nightmare. The hotel doesn't have parking so you have to pay to park which can run from 1 to 3 pounds an hour. The breakfast was very good and the room was OK and quiet but wifi didn't work being too far away from the restaurant/bar. The staff were friendly and helpful but overall the place was not as good as other places we've stayed.

Really enjoyed my one-night stay here for business this week. Room 6 is an en-suite at the bottom of the stairs. The room was small but very comfortable, lots of storage space. It does need a lick of paint and the bathroom ceiling needs re-plastering but it was perfectly clean. Gorgeous home cooked breakfast and friendly staff at check in and check out.

Needs work!
Good central location. Good breakfst. Old building but no excuse for the condition of room (photos attached). Stayed on hotest day of year so far and room was sweltering due to 2 hot water pipes running length of the room.(radiator fortunately off). Despite the heat from these pipes there was virtually no hot water and was unable to take a shower. Sorry no photos attached, coudnt do it from my phone...

In the heart of Shrewsbury excellent find
Excellent location in the center of Shrewsbury. The Rooms a little dated but exceptionally clean, lovely fluffy towels, toiletries and plenty of tea & coffee provided. The staff were extremely helpful and polite and made sure our needs catered for . The breakfast was excellent and even had a decent live band on Saturday night i would definitely stay again . Thanks

Needs a major refurbishment
Room was located through back courtyard of pub and up one flight of stairs which was fine. Mega disappointment on entering the room as the limited pine furniture was so old and in poor condition. Sloping floors acceptable as this was an old building but furniture could have been updated at little cost and room made more modern and welcoming. Bed linen was clean and plenty of tea and coffee on hospitality tray. Nowhere near enough sockets and TV was tiny. Bathroom was big with over bath shower, clean but basic and un welcoming. Saturday breakfast did not start until 9 which was an issue for us. Breakfast was adequate. We did consider not staying but it would have meant paying again for somewhere else. One night was therefore tolerable under the circumstances. I would not return because the place really did need updating and whilst I do not expect luxury for the price I do expect comfort

A comfortable stay in a quaint pub. Very central. Adequate breakfast although a bit early between 8 and 9.
