I stayed at Sydney House Hotel for 4 nights. The room was not large, but it was cosy, clean, fresh and warm! The owners were very friendly-ready to help at any moment. The location is good, close to the town center, parking facilities available. The breakfast was good-english breakfast/fruits/cereals. All together-very good value for money.

We stayed for one night. It is located outside of the city centre but it only took us 10 minutes to walk in. The area lovely and quite so not disturbances at night. The hotel is quite old but we found it to be very clean. The tea/coffee tray was very well stocked. Shampoo and soap dispensers in the bathroom.... More

We wanted a place to stay for a couple of nights that was just a short ten minute walk to the station and the town centre. Sydney House was very comfortable, friendly and provided a good breakfast. It is also very reasonably priced. The room was not large but that did not bother us as it had everything we needed.... More

Sydney house is in a quiet residential neighbourhood with free parking. It is also close to the town centre. As long as you can overlook the slightly tired and dated decor it is perfect. The room was warm, everything functioned perfectly and was very clean and fresh, the bed was comfortable, loads of hot water, a huge bundle of soft... More

In its favour Sydney House is in a quiet residential neighbourhood, has free parking and is within walking distance of the historic centre of Shrewsbury, restaurants and pubs. The included breakfast was freshly cooked and pleasantly and efficiently served. However....I would call it a B&B rather than a hotel and as a B&B we thought that it was a bit... More

Please note our lounge/residents bar is accessable to all guests at all times upon request. Door is kept locked in respect of security reasons from people outside not guests staying at Sydney House. In ten years at Sydney House these guests and their friends were the rudest to a member of staff I can recall. I suspect derogatory remarks are... More

I have just spent two nights at this hotel. The room was small and in need of modernization. The bathroom was very small. It was disappointing that the lounge/bar area was locked. The room was well heated and the T.V worked! The hotel was well placed and walking into the town centre took about 10 mins. There was free off... More

My husband and I (no, not that "my husband and I"!) spent three lovely nights in March in this great little hotel. We chose it partly for the location (a 10 minute walk into town) and that it had free parking - difficult to find so close to town, but we couldn't have found better if we had tried. On... More

A small family run hotel a bit like something from a past era, but not saying that's a bad thing. Excellent freshly cooked breakfast and a choice of cereals, yoghurt and fruit. My room was on 2nd floor overlooking the railway, so trains can be easily heard passing by. Not a large room but ok for average height people. If... More

Just spent 2 nights at this B and B which although quite dated and basic is very clean and in a great location; less than 10 minutes' walk into Shrewsbury with free parking is ideal. The full breakfast is huge but the staff are happy to provide any combination you choose - they are keen to please and nothing is... More

Just returned from a one night stay in Shrewsbury. Hotel is in a ideal location 10/15 mins walk to the heart of the town centre. Room was quite small but spotlessly clean. Excellent breakfast with a varied menu. Friendly owners who clearly take pride in delivering a quality service to visitors. Recommended for a short break.
