Reviews

6/10 Okay

While we enjoyed our stay In Shrewsbury overall, the hotel was a wee bit tired. Staff were friendly, but it seems the hotel itself may have seen better days…
Douglas, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Short stay, very convenient, loved the hotel
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Full of character, lovely staff, nice rooms, unfortunately a bit hot and no fan or tv remote
The Holy, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Sadly no Bar or restaurant
Thomas, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Our stay was okay. The hotel seemed a bit run down. No breakfast available. Room was clean, both bed and bathroom. An old building so no lifts. Hotel is in ideal place to explore the centre of Shrewsbury. Value for money on a centrally located hotel.
Linda, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Very disappointed that there was no food at the hotel. No bar. Comfortable bed. Poor Internet access. There was parking. Positive easy access to the town. Staff friendly and helpful.
Elaine, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Quirky old horel. Would benefit from some serious refurbishment. Everything looks rather tired.
Brian, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It is a lovely hotel!
Wing Kuen, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Lovely old place but slight issues with bathroom heater on 24/7. Given it was hot outside this did make the room very warm. However, everything else about the place was good and the location was excellent.
Amanda, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Staff friendly and check in was good. Old historic property and decor very tired. Room whilst clean was dated and well worn and the mattress on the bed was dreadful which felt like it had a hole in the middle of it. It was a last minute booking and the cheapest of an expensive group but still a lot of money for a single room
Trevor, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Perfect for a short stay

Perfect for a short-stay in Shrewsbury. Brilliant central location, friendly staff and a terrfific breakfast.
Simon, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Staff (Sam) welcoming, helpful, and informative. Only one coffee each in the bedroom was disappointing. Room was large and spacious unfortunately the tv was a little too small for the space. Didn’t eat at the hotel and didn’t see any options however great location for pubs and restaurants.

Lovely hotel
Martin, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

We stayed in room 105 and both mornings the people in the room above were up at 6.30am stomping around their room for at least a hour. Glass recycling was been moved around outside at this time too which was not ideal.
Alyson, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

An interesting, historic property in this lovely town. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the rooms clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend it.
Judith, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff were amazing. So friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble!! Fantastic brekkie and great location 👍
Robyn-Sophia, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This fantastic hotel is a real gem, situated in the heart of lovely Shrewsbury and would make a great base for explorers enjoying all the local amenities. The Lion Hotel reflects the environment; quirky, an architectural gem filled with ancient and beautiful furniture pieces, an historic idiosyncrasy still resplendent in faded charm. Not for the fussy or fastidious traveller. This would be for Hogwarts lovers and those seeking individuality. Fabulous comfortable half-poster bed and luxurious bathroom with masses of piping hot water. No breakfast available, but super delicatessens within a minute's walk gets you up and out too! Very reasonable parking fee and dogs welcome. We will come back as often as we are able.
Zoe, 1-night trip
