The room was clean and well equipped, but the room was freezing.
Cold wind was coming through the seal of the windows all night and letting all the noise in throughout the night

Pros:

This is a unique hotel in an old church conveniently close to Shrewsbury train station, shops, restaurants, and attractions. Everything in the room was new and in good condition- the mini fridge with free refreshments was an appreciated bonus. Service was great, and personal.

Hotel room review.
Pros:

Unfortunately the boiler broke during the stay which meant this hot water didnt come back on till 9-9.30pm and then took a while to come back through in the morning when turning the taps on. The team were really nice and apologised, offered a free meal but when I went down at 9pm everything was shut and didnt get a response from the number on the contacts to enquire how to claim.

The remote was broken in the room and nobody to advise but managed to get the TV on the same channel. No iron or hairdryer in the room so couldnt iron my clothes in the morning for work.

Stay would have been nice but couple of things just unfortunately made it not.

Three days in Shrewsbury
Pros:

The hotel is very convenient for the station (5 minutes walk) - if you come by train since there is no parking available - and for the city centre (3 minutes walk in the other direction). Everything was good at the hotel with no issues at all. Breakfast was a bit unusual in that, only hot main courses were available (although delicious), but there were no cereals, fruit, toast, croissants etc.

Lovely hotel
Pros:

Lovely hotel & friendly, helpful staff. However, room very airless, due to nature of the building (converted church), which i personally have difficulty with. Fan supplied in room, which helped. Also, overhead shower head a little low - my husband is 6’ and couldn’t get under it!

Overall, the hotel is lovely and centrally placed in Shrewsbury, so many pluses!

Pros:

Hotel short walk from station run by young couple keen to make a difference. Oozes character, surrounded by historic architecture and fits right in. Cafes, restaurants, pubs close at hand with lots of shopping close to hand. I nipped down a nearby alley each morning to enjoy a great riverside walk to the park and home for breakfast.

A great place to stay
Pros:

What a wonderful and unique hotel. Right in the heart of Shrewsbury and with a warm welcome this was a great hotel. The room was clean, spacious and with a great stained glass window which gave the room loads of character. The owners were fantastic and made us feel very welcome and dinner was also superb.

Pros:

The room was spacious and comfortable.
But what really set this hotel apart was the staff
especially Ryan who were friendly, accommodating and always went the extra mile to make sure we had a great stay.
From the moment we arrived until the moment we left we felt welcomed and cared for.

Pros:

The staff are friendly and helpful. The building is rather old but full of character and with a lovely decor. The hotel is just a few minutes' walk from the station, very convenient. One thing to be aware of is that they don't start serving breakfast until 8.30am – something to keep in mind if you're planning an early start.

great service and place to stay
Pros:

Stayed here over night at weekend, even though in town wasn’t noisy at night. Enjoyed the food and drink menus (breakfast and lunch) the team were really friendly and helpful, service was good even though they were experiencing some technical problems during our stay. Very minor point there was no wash hand soap in the bedroom
