Location was great, for a base. Check in/out was quick and easy, breatfast was superb, although you have to order hot food, and time it well for making your toast. It felt safe as a solo traveller. The heating was so hot in the room, did not need to bring my dressing gown.

Lovely 2 night stay at the Lion Hotel, regularly visit Shrewsbury and thought of staying here for a change , we were pleasantly surprised, after reading some of the reviews, so please do not discard this hotel because of some negative reviews, you need to stay here to find out for yourself. Easy check in , staff very helpful and always ready to greet you with a smile and hello. Room lovely and clean and nice and warm, as we're all the areas of the hotel. Breakfast was really good, plenty of it, and the lady at breakfast was so lovely, always smiling and nothing was too.much for her, thankyou. Will deffinately recommend the Lion hotel to friends and family, and we will be back. Also £5 per night to park your car there, which is really good value, and very convenient for shops and bars.

Disgusting behavior.

Had some banging on my hotel room door from about 3.30am to 5.30am and pushing very inappropriate notes under the door. When I spoke to person on reception I was given a note pad with numbers on. This was produced from behind the desk. The note pad was the same as note at my door. I’m waiting for a call from hotel manager.

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.

Weekend stay in Shrewsbury

Great stay hotel location is ideal for easy access to the town. The hotel is a tired and in need of a refurb but the rooms are clean and have all the facilities required for a comfortable stay. Will definitely stay again.
