Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The fittings and decor are a bit dated but the bed was really comfortable and the linen and towels were lovely. I would suggest getting a room nearer the back of the hotel, we were on the front and it was rather noisy from the pub next door. Although the parking may seem a little complicated it's good value for being in the town and we extended the next morning at a better rate than if we had moved it. Really good location to explore the town and for walking the local area

Very friendly, but professional members of staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. We stayed in the Mansion House and we loved the history of the older part of the hotel. Wonky walls and sloping floors added to the unique experience. Would love to stay again. A huge thank you to everyone who made us feel so welcome. Merry Christmas 🎄

The building has great character that you do not find in modern hotels. Reception staff excellent in particular the gentleman who checked me in on Tuesday 3rd December. One star deducted for staff and service as my room has not been serviced by my return at 3 p.m. on Thursday 5th December.

Lovely nights stay. Thank you.
We had a lovely stay. They realised we had a small child they immediately swapped the room for a quieter one. Breakfast was lovely with a mix of continental and cooked breakfast in the medieval hall. They'd even decorated the suits of armor for Christmas.

Tired and dated
Good location in the centre of Shrewsbury. Room was dated and in need of refurbishment. Dated TV in the room (with no HDMI terminal) switched itself off and switched itself on for no discernible reason. Suspect that the standard of the room allocated was due to reserving through Hotels.com rather than directly with the establishment as seems to be the practice among many establishments.

Lovely Shrewsbury stay
This was our first visit to Shrewsbury with the intention to do some Christmas shopping. We had some issues with parking due to the road closures but we parked at the station which was easy and only a 10 minute walk to the hotel. Amazing service at check in, so friendly and efficient. Breakfast was nice but unfortunately we were made to feel as though we didn't belong there which has now put us off staying at the hotel again.

We stayed here for my wife’s 55th birthday. My wife has mobility issues and the staff were very accommodating to her needs. As usual staff are very attentive, polite and friendly. Only issue is they have changed the evening menu and was not to our taste so dined out in the evening. Bar menu and breakfast excellent with lots of choice. Fantastic stay once again 😊
