We booked for the Shrewsbury School speech day and leavers ball so the whole town was fully booked. Thankfully there was a suite available at my favourite local hotel. We needed a room for 3 and the hotel staff were super helpful in accommodating our needs. It’s family owned and the culture of care is pervasive. It’s a hotel where the staff like to say yes. Not to mention the character of the hotel itself. It’s a mixture of 12th, 15th and 17th century architecture forming an elaborate maze of rooms covering the block. The Matthews family have truly created a 5 star hotel experience. I was even offered a glass of sherry by the night watchman when I checked in on once at 1am. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

Overpriced for what you get. The room is tired; a few damaged items - dripping tap, very loose door handle, toilet seat, flickering light, crumbs on the carpet. The lift isn't currently working so not ideal with heavy bags up flights of stairs.
Very friendly staff, especially the ladies on the breakfast service. Breakfast offering had good options and it's a good location for being right in the town centre.

An excellently located hotel - spitting distance to St Alkmund’s Church, the Bear Steps, and Pride Hill.
A nice clean room and excellent service, even a little complimentary sherry!
A tasty and varied breakfast available with a good selection to eat and drink.
Very recommended for anyone staying in Shrewsbury!

It has a very historical feel, the stairs are all made of wood, the room is small but the bathroom is very clean, it is very convenient to go shopping around, they are all old streets, it is very worth staying.
