Ok location but would not stay again
Pros:

The staff were very friendly polite and helpful

Cons:

The room was tiny and very humid - due to being on a very busy main road we had to close the windows at night which led to the room becoming hot stuffy and bedding felt damp due to the humidity - a fan was provided but did nothing for the humidity - a dehumidifier was definitely needed

The shower in the en-suite was heavily moulded around the seals and tray and there was an inch gap beneath the door so water sprayed out onto the tiled floor - dangerous

Food choice was extremely limited at evening meal for anyone with a plain pallet

Very pleasant stay but let down slightly by very noisy road location.
Pros:

Lovely little boutique hotel. Very pleasant staff and comfortable nicely decorated room. Pretty outdoor garden and bar. There’s also a Tapas bar right next door. Easy 10-15 15 min river walk from train station. (Much more scenic & flatter than the road way).

Cons:

Located on a busy road so we could hear traffic constantly 😕.

Lovely stay in Shrewsbury
Pros:

Our twin room was spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast was really good, plenty of choice and the breakfast room itself was beautiful.

Cons:

Road noise was a down side but as it's positioned right by the bridge and central location to everything it wasn't going to be dead silent!

A great little hotel for a break in Shrewsbury.
Pros:

A great small hotel in the heart of Shrewsbury. There is a small car park which is accessible via a very narrow archway which we did not try to negotiate, rather we opted to go to the larger car park just across the road from the hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. The food was superb and very reasonably priced. We had dinner there - the pork loin was absolutely delicious as was the gnocchi. Breakfast was also very good. Our room was on the main road but the traffic was light and we were not disturbed at all, The room was a bit small - cosy one could say- but it was clean, with an excellent shower and we were very comfortable., Overall would definitely stay there again and would recommend this hotel to you.

Cons:

Nothing really

Helpful staff at reception, continental breakfast not worth the money.
Pros:

The welcome was excellent, my husband was using a stick and we were given a more appropriate room with less stairs for access.

Cons:

My husband was disconcerted by the lack of a bedside table and the finish around the shower needed attention. I believe that the bath was leaking, although I only used it for the hand shower. We decided to eat a continental breakfast and this was a great disappointment. We have had many varying continental breakfasts, usually being supplied with plentiful quantities of fruit cheese and meat. The fruit was limited to small slithers of melon and segments of orange. There was no fruit compote, cheese or meat. The pastries were small and dry. We had to ask for toast. 2 slices arrived, which, when they came, I found to be inedible as the bread had a very peculiar taste. It was raining and we had to get our luggage to the car, otherwise I would have complained at the cost of £ 23 + .

Perfect place to stay to enjoy everything Shrewsbury has to offer.
Pros:

Fantastic location super friendly staff and beautiful interiors.

Cons:

I found the access to the car park quite tight but there are other options really handy. Our room was small and on the front of the hotel, gorgeous room but quite a lot of road noise during the night. Ear plugs were provided but next time I would ask for a room at the back if possible.
