Functional / practical accommodation, to explore Shrewsbury. Although we were on the 3rd floor - no lift and quite steep stairs. Would have been nice to have a hotel bar and breakfast available at the hotel. But having said that the surrounding streets offer a vast range of bars and eateries so get out there and explore.

First dog friendly hotel experience

Our first experience of a dog friendly hotel and the staff couldn’t have been any nicer or helpful which totally made the difference and would 100% go again. Location is perfect to explore the town and surrounded by dozens of bars cafes and restaurants so you can just take your pick.

Our stay was okay. The hotel seemed a bit run down. No breakfast available. Room was clean, both bed and bathroom. An old building so no lifts. Hotel is in ideal place to explore the centre of Shrewsbury. Value for money on a centrally located hotel.

Great location right in centre of town. Hotel itself is in major need of a refurb. Very dated and no food or drink available. Our room was extremely noise as it faced the road. Traffic noise and moving the bins at 7am woke us up.
