Would happily stay again (even in hot weather) but will be better sleep if temp was cooler
Pros:

Excellent location, cute building inside and out. Very clean/modern rooms and decor.

Cons:

Weather was 30°+ for the 2 nights I was here, room was very hot (as was the whole of England) so more suited to cooler weather. Staff did try and help with a fan for the room.

A well positioned and modern small hotel in the centre of Shrewsbury.
Pros:

Small room however really clean, comfy bed, hospitality tray, good location with private car park (free).
Great location near the river.

Cons:

Traffic noise was loud and due to warm weather had to have windows open however traffic went quiet after 9pm. Lovely breakfast and staff were attentive and helpful.

Warm welcome at well-located boutique hotel
Pros:

Excellent location for exploring the town. Warm welcome on arrival and friendly, helpful staff. Decor of room fresh and relaxing; super comfy bed. Lovely chilled vibe from bar and dining areas. Good breakfast menu - chef’s homemade granola delicious! Little touches that made a difference like shortbread and fan in room.

Cons:

Noise from traffic in room overlooking the road could be annoying for some travellers but after a day exploring the town it didn’t bother me.

Too expensive for the facilities provided. No lift either
Pros:

Clean, looked very nice. Too hot in summer. We had the windows open which meant it was very noise on the Main Street. We were given 2 fans to help us sleep.

Cons:

Friendly, helpful staff and close to the old town.
Good breakfast eve. Though we had to wait a little while for it.

Very good all round
Pros:

Location was great and facilities were brilliant

Cons:

Access to the car park is bad. Better to park in the NCP directly opposite the hotel. Cost of NCP is way less than a new paint job!

Lovely stay, would definitely return
Pros:

We stayed in a studio and it was perfect as there was plenty of room, plus there was a sofa so we could sit comfortably (rather than lie on the bed) Food was excellent and the hotel was close enough to amenities but still quiet.

Cons:

The room needed more air - when we first arrived, it was quite damp smelling until we opened all windows and the door
