We had a two night stay in one of the double bed room with an ensuite. The room was perfect for our intended stay. The room we stayed in did happen to be directly next to the roof garden so the Saturday night was fairly noisy but wasnt too much of a bother

Midweek breat.

If all you need is a clean room and comfortable bed with en suite this is fine. Close to railway station so no taxis needed. Everything in walking distance and plenty of choice for food nearby.

Fabulous accommodation for an over night stay in Shrewsbury for a really good budget price. Clean and very comfy. Loved all the old features in the room. Staff were welcoming and with easy walking access to everything Shrewsbury has to offer. Would definitely book again.

Good value, strange hotel

Simply put, this is a value for money hotel. Great location for trains, prison and centre and the staff are friendly. A few strange quirks make it unique but may put people off. Entering and exiting through the pub, a very narrow staircase and the shower/bathroom are not suited for larger proportioned guests.

It is very central in Shrewsbury, near the station and the main shopping and historic part of Shrewsbury. The property is old, but comfortable and well cared for.

Well impressed

1st time my brother & I have stayed here. We were well impressed. Our room was lovely & warm. Beds comfy. Plenty of tea , coffee etc. large LCD TV in the room. Bathroom was a bit small but acceptable. Given the price of £63 we were more than happy & would book to stay here again.
