Ok. Some rooms are a bit tired and dated but it’s a fantastic historic property right in the heart of town. Goth waitress / receptionist was top notch. ! Hope to see the Adam ballroom next time as currently closed. Big room. Comfy bed. Warm. Very clean. Great breakfast. Great value

Location was great, for a base. Check in/out was quick and easy, breatfast was superb, although you have to order hot food, and time it well for making your toast. It felt safe as a solo traveller. The heating was so hot in the room, did not need to bring my dressing gown.

Lovely 2 night stay at the Lion Hotel, regularly visit Shrewsbury and thought of staying here for a change , we were pleasantly surprised, after reading some of the reviews, so please do not discard this hotel because of some negative reviews, you need to stay here to find out for yourself. Easy check in , staff very helpful and always ready to greet you with a smile and hello. Room lovely and clean and nice and warm, as we're all the areas of the hotel. Breakfast was really good, plenty of it, and the lady at breakfast was so lovely, always smiling and nothing was too.much for her, thankyou. Will deffinately recommend the Lion hotel to friends and family, and we will be back. Also £5 per night to park your car there, which is really good value, and very convenient for shops and bars.

Lovely large room and very clean. Yes it’s dated but that reflected in the price. Breakfast was lovely. I was woken by the glass recycling truck at 4.30 and was weary that you had to go down the side to get in after 11pm and I was a solo traveller.

The hotel is an old historic coaching inn in a prime location of Shrewsbury town. It is an inn I have known my whole life and finally got to stay in. It’s a fabulous location, parking in car park 2 could be improved. The hotel could go with an upgrade in some elements, expected due to its age. It is hugely disappointing that the history of the hotel, the guests is big made more of (Charles Dickens, Jenny Lind). The bar was closed due to a licensing issue which we were not aware of. There was a lack of Christmas spirit or ambience another element easily improved. The reception staff were barely communicative, as were the breakfast staff. I don’t understand why the communication skills are not a part of the job/role, after a long journey a welcome would have been nice, an explanation of the car park system or just any communication would have been professional and expected for such a hotel in such a location. Sad that we had that experience. The food was good, the room delightful, clean comfortable warm. So much potential!

Limited car parking but very convenient if you find a space ,hotel was clean,tidy and very convenient access to the shopping streets, dont think there is a bar or restaurant but the breakfast was very good and plentiful, the dining room was quite modern and nicely decorated staff are very pleasant and accomodating loads of eating and drinking places within very easy walking distance. As with all old hotels the building was a little tired and showing signs of age,the bedroom was spacous and warm and had all necessary equipment our room was overlooking the shopping streets,there was some traffic noise up till midnigh but thats to be xpected in the town centre..would stay again

Was a bit concerned when I found that in the summer immigrants had been staying in the hotel, but it would appear that the beds are new. Rooms have everything you need, beds are comfy and slept really well. One night stay is great.

I stayed with friends and chose the Lion in Shrewsbury for the history and authenticity of staying in an original listed hotel. Our rooms were decorated nicely although the curtains in one room were tired. It must take alot to maintain a large hotel like the Lion. Bathroom not modern but clean with lovely white towels and toiletries and hot shower. All the staff were lovely, breakfast really good. Nothing was too much trouble. Its definitely not a glitzy hotel but the originality of the building and the homely atmosphere is very welcoming
