The location is ideal for many of the attractions in shrewsbury and only a short walk from the railway station. A very good breakfast and we had an excellent evening meal.Would certainly stay again.

Retro trip back in time

To be fair, great location, nice staff and the hotel seemed to be reasonably clean. I do have a little feedback for the management. £180 was very steep for a room which was small and tired. It looked like our room was last properly refurnished in the 1980s, retro telephone, drawer runner broken, small TV attached to the wall which could not be set at an angle so hard to watch from the bed. No glasses or water in the room, wood chip wallpaper on the ceiling, exposed trunking for retro-fitted electrics, toilet roll hanging off the wall. Grim lighting and no ambiance. View was of an internal courtyard with fire doors, air conditioning units and multiple rooms overlooking. The breakfast room was also extremely tired. Dreadful stained glass windows, stippled paint effect on the walls, awful suspended ceiling tiles and chipped mock-baronial seats. On trend in the 1980s, but not 4* luxury. The breakfast was OK but again very basic and a bit mean. The cheap mango drink with sweetener and cheapest ’brown’ bread you can buy was pretty poor. The fruit wasn’t in syrup so maybe we were spared the full 1970s experience. None of the above I would mind if the owner recognised it was very cheap and basic and had priced accordingly. It’s the luxury 4* price tag I really object to. If you are used to how hotels were in the 1970s (and like it that way) then you might be happy. If you are used to what £180 can normally buy you elsewhere expect to be disappointed.

A beautiful hotel with charm and original fittings. Staff were polite, friendly and extremely helpful. Our room was on the small side for a double, however this was not a problem as we just slept in there and spent all day out and about enjoying the sites and shopping. On our last night we took advantage of a meal in the resturant in the hotel. Wow just wow, the meal was out of this world!!! Definitely hats off to the chef, that has got to be the best steak i have ever tasted. We would certainly stay and eat here again on the very near future!

Clientele appeared to be more in keeping with a Residential Care Home age group and surrounding features of the Hotel were in sync with this era. If you are used to modern contemporary, clean lines and furniture, this Hotel is not for you. Nice breakfast,
