Only complaint I have is strange noises coming from the bathroom, think it was from the pipes. No food available in the hotel which made it very quiet and empty. ##### Christine Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### William 28 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The Lion Hotel is in the centre of Shrewsbury with local shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs within 5 minutes walk. Railway station is about 10 minutes walk. My room was quiet at the back of the hotel. Only issue was there was no lift working in the hotel and shower was very difficult to control to achieve the right temperature. ##### William Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Naomi 26 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good value for money So this is an old building that hasn’t been refurbished any time recently but everything works, it was clean and had all we needed. For the price it was good value for money, less than 10 mins walk from the station. Plenty of history inside and staff were lovely. Shower was decent, WiFi worked fine. ##### Naomi Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kevin 12 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service It was in an excellent location for what we wanted. The room was very clean and had been recently decorated with new carpet too ##### Kevin Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ursula 29 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The reception staff were very helpful and welcoming. The room was spacious and comfortable. I was on the second floor and found it difficult to find the room initially. Would not be easy for anyone with mobility issues. It would also have been nice to have been able to have breakfast at the hotel. ##### Ursula Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jean 5 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The Hotel is in need of modernisation, the Reception staff where very helpful & friendly.
