What people say
This is a small hotel right opposite the station in Shrewsbury. My train was due to arrive at 9:30pm, but was delayed. I advised the hotel that I was going to be late, and they stayed specially to let me check in. I suspect that they make most of their money in the bistro and bar. The room was clean. Space was adequate (single room), In the morning the owner arrived early to cook me breakfast specially for me. all reviews »
The manager couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, from taking my case up the stairs for me (I've a heart problem) to giving maps, tourist advice, etc. The food in the bar was a good price and plentiful. Lots of hot water, an excellent shower and a warm and comfortable room. Great value for money.
It was very convenient for Shrewsbury castle and for visitors arriving by train. It had easy access to the main shopping centres. It was clean and friendly with a very comfortable bed. A wholesome breakfast was available in the morning for a little extra. The staff were very helpful.
Everything that you could wish for in a single room.....I intend to stay there again......and would recommend the Hotel to any one.I have never seen such a clean hotel and the help given by the manager was wonderful at a difficult time for me....
I chose it for the location, which was just as described - right
opposite the station. It's a notably clean and well appointed
hotel with welcoming and helpful staff. A good experience from start
to finish.
Friendly helpful staff,always willing to help,breakfast was lovely,had drinks in the night in the hotel which was nice,Clean hotel, and close to shops, no issues with our stay, would recommend to others,.
The manager/owner was very helpful - gave us a good recommendation for dinner on our first night The bar stocked an impressive rum collection :-) and the location suited our purpose.
As we were travelling by Train this was an excellent location and also very good for the town. Lovely room and good breakfast. The bar area is good and the owner was very helpful.
Location very good. We were promised and got a quiet room. The owner was pleasant and helpful, the room was small but well equipped, bright and clean. We would go there again.
Very friendly & attentive manager / owner - obviously just had a refurbishment and very pleasant inside - now could do with sprucing up outside to make it more inviting.
What a hidden gem!! Go through the door of the unprepossessing facade and you will find a fabulous welcome, great designer decor, cosy bar/restaurant area and fab rooms!.

I wanted something close to the train station. This is about five
seconds away, right across the street. And the cost was quite
reasonable.

The convenience (location) and the service.
Town Centre location near railway station.
There is quite a lot of traffic noise in the morning.
Nothing.
nothing.
Our room overlooked a busy street corner, somewhat offputting at first but the noise didn't affect us.
The bathroom was uncomfortably small but scrupulously clean.
Just have some fans available in the rooms when we have a heatwave :).
Noisy outside on Saturday night due to locals round town but this is not hotel's fault and would be fine in the week.
The hotel was ideal for me in every way.
Nothing.
Nothing - I've already booked my next stay there.
I had requested a quiet room but got one directly on the very busy
street between the hotel and station. My room was on the top floor, two
flights up, with no elevator.
Breakfast not included.
Shower curtain in raised shower area but hey that's trivia!.
Although spotlessly clean, shower curtain was very 'clingy' (very minor point in an otherwise really nice stopover).
The room was a little bit small but ok for a single person.
Steep stairs, Hot drinks not good, traffic noise, eating out in the area is poor unless you like pizza!!
We would not recommend for senior citizens.
Small but clean rooms.
nothing.
nothing at all.
No hair dryer in room and needs some shower gel.
Distance from car park. Exterior now requires updating. Did not provide continental breakfast - only full English.
every thing was fine.
maybe parking, we booked at the long stay at station, its 250 metres away, but we knew that at the time of our booking so not really a negative.
N/A.
There's nothing to dislike!!.
Wifi not great - sporadic.
blinds in the loo. was in room facing the train station on the main road.
Breakfast could have been better in terms of quality and variety.
nothing really. Very late when I arrived so lots of drunken activity outside but my room was at the back and quiet.
