Great place to stay. Get to dump the car in the carpark and leave it there as everything is on the doorstep.

My room was spotless, bed was comfortable. Only complaint I have is strange noises coming from the bathroom, think it was from the pipes. No food available in the hotel which made it very quiet and empty.

First dog friendly hotel experience

Our first experience of a dog friendly hotel and the staff couldn’t have been any nicer or helpful which totally made the difference and would 100% go again. Location is perfect to explore the town and surrounded by dozens of bars cafes and restaurants so you can just take your pick.

The reception staff were very helpful and welcoming. The room was spacious and comfortable. I was on the second floor and found it difficult to find the room initially. Would not be easy for anyone with mobility issues. It would also have been nice to have been able to have breakfast at the hotel.

It is a very old hotel , and I expected lots of creakiness but it was fine , a really interesting building in the town centre with a car park . The only downside was the lack of breakfast ( no food available at all ) but it is surrounded by food outlets and pubs

We had a fantastic stay at The Lion Hotel. From check in to when we departed all staff were welcoming & friendly. Room was great-clean and bed was so comfortable. Ideally situated & perfect for us for where we like to eat. We will definitely be returning and recommending to our friends and family. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Atmospheric, but could have been better

Location and ambience are great, and on-site parking always a plus. Disappointed that you have closed your kitchen, so no breakfast, and the plumbing is third-world. The worst part was the horrendously squeaky bed! This needs attention. I suspect the Hotel is now fighting a losing battle with the passing years, so go there while you still can.

The staff were very helpful, the hotel is old, but is clean with spacious rooms. The dripping shower was a bit annoying, but apart from that, we had no complaints. We would use this hotel again, it’s very central, and car park is good.

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.
