Liked the history of the hotel, but the room we were in was poor, the carpet was worn the curtains had been cut to make them shorter and had not been stitched just left with a raw edge that was fraying. Disappointed in our room would go to shrewsbury again but not the Lion hotel.

The room was clean and the location is central. There is no breakfast provided since May which was disappointing. The room was tired and old decoration.

The staff were very helpful, the hotel is old, but is clean with spacious rooms. The dripping shower was a bit annoying, but apart from that, we had no complaints. We would use this hotel again, it’s very central, and car park is good.

Carpets were worn and torn in places The whole interior is in need of brightening up and refurbishing. I paid and booked for bed and breakfast but was told they have not done food since April. Actually I was quite pleased as I dread to think about the state of the kitchens !

Perfect town centre location. Kitchens closed since 3rd May ( Not informed by Expedia as asked by hotel) had we been informed we would have cancelled and booked somewhere else, so no breakfast. Reason given by friendly staff was owner wanted room only option. We did get £6.50 x 2 reduction and paid £5 for parking . Hotel was very dated with wooden floors and worn carpets to stairs which needed a good dust. I wouldn't stay again.

Beautiful original features hotel

What a great hotel in a good location. The building is full of character with original build. So good to stay in hotel with a real history instead of sterile new builds. Reception staff and dining room staff were good and the breakfast was excellent. Would recommend this hotel for its quirkiness and original features.
