Zu Laut für den Preis
Pros:

Sehr sauber und sehr bequemes Bett.
Glutenfreies Frühstück war kein Problem. Generell war das Frühstück sehr lecker.
Geschmackvollen Zimmer.

Cons:

Ich hatte ein Zimmer zur Straße hin. Leider war es extrem laut. Dazu hörte man jeden Schritt von dem Zimmer über mir. Generell ist das in Ordnung, aber nicht wenn die Nacht 160 Euro kostet .
Das steht in keinem Verhältnis.

Nice place to stay and would certainly stay here again if we came back to Shrewsbury.
Pros:

Very well organised. Dinner on first night was excellent. Staff were always friendly, helpful and accommodating. Full of good advice about places to go and see. Interesting building.

Cons:

Breakfast a bit hit and miss - no croissants or smoked salmon left on Friday, but scrambled and poached eggs were fine. Coffee a bit weak and watery until we asked for it to be stronger and the filter jugs didn't work very well. Very narrow entrance to car park!
