Staff were excellent both at check in and any time of the day. Breakfast was very good and the lounge area was very comfortable. The hotel is in the middle of Shrewsbury so access to all areas is very easy . Good internet access and the bedroom comfortable with a bath as well. Evening meal the restaurant was also good. Would recommend this hotel.

A traditional hotel with great character which provided everything I needed for four nights stay, with the friendliest and most professional staff I have ever come across. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was of an excellent standard and the hotel was sited close to places of interest. I would love to return

Very well situated for town centre.
Thought £10 per night was expensive for their car park which is 5 min walk away from the hotel.

Wife and sister in law stayed for 2 nights. Glowing praise for the staff and room which had an additional seating area. Iced water on arrival was very much appreciated on such a hot day. Breakfast was a little disappointing but everything else was top notch.

Having stayed at the Rupert on several occasions over the past ten years or so we were looking forward to staying there again.
I Can assue potential clients that if anything the standards at the Hotel fulfilled our expectations on every metric !!
Naturally the Prince Ruperts location in the heart of the Town gives it huge advantages for those wanting to be right at the heart of things , But even more the standards are still impressive to say the least !! Staff at the Prince Rupert are among the very best we have found in the Hospitality sector under the
