I’m so well looked after by Reception staff. I have mobility difficulties and they have gone out of their way to help. They remember my name and hand over my correct room key without me even asking for it. Fab hotel.

Superb location, no need for a car, stroll to the river and all the amenities Shrewsbury has to offer. A grand old building with all the splendour of a bygone era. The antidote to the modern chains of rabbit hutches. A large foyer with a relaxed vibe. a grand hall of a restaurant with comfortable seating. Suits of Armour round off the interior decor. Staff are all friendly and helpful.

Retro trip back in time

To be fair, great location, nice staff and the hotel seemed to be reasonably clean. I do have a little feedback for the management. £180 was very steep for a room which was small and tired. It looked like our room was last properly refurnished in the 1980s, retro telephone, drawer runner broken, small TV attached to the wall which could not be set at an angle so hard to watch from the bed. No glasses or water in the room, wood chip wallpaper on the ceiling, exposed trunking for retro-fitted electrics, toilet roll hanging off the wall. Grim lighting and no ambiance. View was of an internal courtyard with fire doors, air conditioning units and multiple rooms overlooking. The breakfast room was also extremely tired. Dreadful stained glass windows, stippled paint effect on the walls, awful suspended ceiling tiles and chipped mock-baronial seats. On trend in the 1980s, but not 4* luxury. The breakfast was OK but again very basic and a bit mean. The cheap mango drink with sweetener and cheapest ’brown’ bread you can buy was pretty poor. The fruit wasn’t in syrup so maybe we were spared the full 1970s experience. None of the above I would mind if the owner recognised it was very cheap and basic and had priced accordingly. It’s the luxury 4* price tag I really object to. If you are used to how hotels were in the 1970s (and like it that way) then you might be happy. If you are used to what £180 can normally buy you elsewhere expect to be disappointed.
