Stayed one night Saturday 11th May, the majority of the hotel is very old which is noticeable with the wonky walls and floors but this all adds to the character of the place, all staff were very kind and even gave us an anniversary card which was. Nice touch. We had Prince Rupert 's suite which was beautiful and exactly... More

by the one way system, archaic look and valet parking. This hotel, dating from around the Tudor era, was very comfortable, the heating and hot water system coped well - not always the case with older buildings and their plumbing systems. Although there was some noise in the evening from a neighbouring pub, it ceased promptly at 11.30 pm. The... More

Last minute booking for a night away. Had twin room with enhanced bathroom (no doubles available). Room very small, tired looking and overlooked a fire escape. Bathroom was dreadful, shower head wouldn't adjust and water ran all over the floor. Could hear a lot of noise from room above. The part of the hotel with the 'suites' looked lovely and... More

Great location in a quiet historic side street in the heart of Shrewsbury. The double room (3rd floor) I had was pretty small with only a tiny wardrobe but okay for a couple of nights stay. I could hear a bit of noise from other rooms so the sound proofing is not great and the room looked straight into a... More

We stayed here for our honeymoon 40 years ago and returned for our 40th. The staff were very welcoming and the valet parking was a bonus. The Prince Rupert suite was in the oldest part of the building, wonky floors and walls but authentic. Sadly we could not climb in to the roll top bath! service in the hotel and... More

An interesting hotel, the bedroom accommodation allocated to me was small, with thin walls and draughty windows, though I believe the older parts of the building had bigger and better bedrooms. Breakfast came with an attentive waitress service and food was of good quality. In the evening we ate in one of the restaurants and the food was of reasonable.... More

Our second visit to this hotel and we were not disappointed. Stayed in a standard double room this time (not one on the suites as before) and it was very comfortable and well presented. Staff polite and friendly as last time ... at this rate have a chance becoming regulars!!! Maybe they will offer a discount on our third visit?... More

Ideal location for shopping and visiting places of interest in shrewsbury town, they parked our car and with being in easy reach of everything we wanted to do on our two day stay we didn't need it again. The twin room was lovely and beds comfortable. Staff friendly, helpful and welcoming. Breakfast very good. Would certainly use the hotel again... More

We stayed at this hotel over the weekend of April 5,6, &7 2013 and really enjoyed being in such a nice location and so central. Because there is no car park at the hotel we had to leave the car keys with the staff who then took the car to a nearby park, this however was not a problem and... More
