Central hotel with great staff

Central hotel with parking. Very friendly and attentive staff with a nice cooked breakfast. The hotel has a great history and yes its old, but comfortable and would not be half as interesting if modified. We would definitely return.

Lovely large room and very clean. Yes it’s dated but that reflected in the price. Breakfast was lovely. I was woken by the glass recycling truck at 4.30 and was weary that you had to go down the side to get in after 11pm and I was a solo traveller.

The hotel is an old historic coaching inn in a prime location of Shrewsbury town. It is an inn I have known my whole life and finally got to stay in. It’s a fabulous location, parking in car park 2 could be improved. The hotel could go with an upgrade in some elements, expected due to its age. It is hugely disappointing that the history of the hotel, the guests is big made more of (Charles Dickens, Jenny Lind). The bar was closed due to a licensing issue which we were not aware of. There was a lack of Christmas spirit or ambience another element easily improved. The reception staff were barely communicative, as were the breakfast staff. I don’t understand why the communication skills are not a part of the job/role, after a long journey a welcome would have been nice, an explanation of the car park system or just any communication would have been professional and expected for such a hotel in such a location. Sad that we had that experience. The food was good, the room delightful, clean comfortable warm. So much potential!

Lion Hotel

The room was very cold and the bathroom was even colder as there was no heating in the room. The beds were too low (I have rheumatoid arthritis so struggle to get up from low seats or beds) and the mattress was too soft. The TV was tiny and there was a very limited supply of tea/milk. However, the staff were very helpful and the breakfast was very good.
