Booked this place based on the reviews, it's a cool and fun place to stay. Me and my wife loved the quirky vibe, staff are pleasant and the food and drink was great. Location to the train station and to the town made it so much better, would recommend if you wanted a night away and enjoy a lively but friendly atmosphere 👍

Just minutes from bus and trains, close to all the walable must see spots, excellent staff . Hot great breakfasts included. My room layout was like an apt. separate entrance from reception. Could use stricter enforcement of no smoking as hall had a smokey smell.

A short walk from the train station which we liked. The room was on the ground floor which was nice as we didn’t have to carry our luggage up several flights of stairs.

Lovely convenient location with lovely staff .

Really enjoyed stay here , our room was small but beds were comfortable. A lovely home cooked breakfast with a good choice . Pizza was lovely too in the evening. Friendly helpful staff . I particularly liked the fact that there was refillable soap and body wash in the bathroom instead of the wasteful miniature plastic bottles used in so many hotels . Handy location for everything in Shrewsbury Would happily stay here again.

Stayed here before Shrewsbury half marathon. Initially quite noisy but settled down by the time we were trying to sleep and overall was pretty comfortable. Unfortunately breakfast doesn't start until 9 on the weekend which was too late for us to have before the half which was disappointing. Would be nice to have an earlier option if possible even if it's just a continental option.
