Great location, nice staff
Kiel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Superb location in the town centre, parking and warm welcome from staff. I think the overly warm room and inability to turn the temperature down is a small issue but could be an asset when the weather outside gets really cold. 3rd time returning so they are obviously doing a lot of things right.
Colin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was very spacious and comfortable. Stayed three nights and corridor always smelled of blocked drains. Car parking excellent,£5 a night.
Neil, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Very dated. I know its a historical building but rooms bathrooms n hallways need renovation. hallways smelt of sewerage, toilet seat dangerous, shower very old and covered in limescale. Staff very pleasant. Location great.

Great place to stay. Get to dump the car in the carpark and leave it there as everything is on the doorstep.
Gareth, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The Lion Hotel mirrors the Tudor vibe found throughout Shrewsbury. Since then it’s had a refresh in the ‘70s (1970’s), and the management has spared no expense to maintain the Fawlty Towers character of the period, complete with shower curtains and a shower at chest height. An ideal place for the older generation wishing to take a trip down memory lane or show grandchildren a glimpse of the previous century. Whatever the case, you won’t be cold as the heating is very effective. And no need need for a kettle either, the hot water is hot, hot, hot….

Pleasant 1-night stay. Our check-in time was 3.00pm but staff at reception agreed to mind our baggage 2 hours earlier enabling us to head off early for a trip to Ludlow.

Lovely weekend away in historic Shrewsbury

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful, historic hotel and, whilst Shropshire Council parking instructions are at best, confusing, the hotel does have parking but it does get busy. The room was clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed having tea/coffee making facilities, hairdryer and fan.
Byron, 1-night trip

VERY GOOD STAY AND UNDERSTANDING CAR PARK SERVICE.
DOUGLAS, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Christine, 2-night trip

Great character

The hotel has lovely characteristics and whilst quirky, it was a great stay. I would return for a weekend sometime in the future with my wife for a short break
