Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Check in was with bar staff. Front desk person not around. Breakfast was promised 0730-0930 but at 0745, the restaurant was still locked with a note telling late check ins to call a number. I couldn’t wait any longer to see if breakfast was indeed served as I had a train to catch. The train station is very convenient to this hotel.

Ok stay

Staff amazing but twice I've stayed in the bottom floor room next to the beer garden and it's noisy in the evening and can hear the bar chucking glass in the bins. Not to mention anyone in the beer garden can see into the room if curtains are not shut. TV didn't work at all.

Great position in Central Shrewsbury, parking was across the road, Staff was amazing and the breakfast in the morning was lovely but the carpet had quite a few stains and there were lots of light bulbs that were not working, but apart from that i would stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness
The property is right on the main road , the room was on ground floor level and people were walking past the window shouting , the road noise was excessive , The room was clean and tidy very basic . It reflected the price I paid as budget accommodation . I just found it to be convenient as short notice for me to close to the centre of Shrewsbury . I would not need to use it again , and would not

A short walk from the train station which we liked. The room was on the ground floor which was nice as we didn’t have to carry our luggage up several flights of stairs.
