Sadly no Bar or restaurant
Thomas, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Short stay, very convenient, loved the hotel
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Full of character, lovely staff, nice rooms, unfortunately a bit hot and no fan or tv remote
The Holy, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Our stay was okay. The hotel seemed a bit run down. No breakfast available. Room was clean, both bed and bathroom. An old building so no lifts. Hotel is in ideal place to explore the centre of Shrewsbury. Value for money on a centrally located hotel.
Linda, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Quirky old horel. Would benefit from some serious refurbishment. Everything looks rather tired.
Brian, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It was in an excellent location for what we wanted. The room was very clean and had been recently decorated with new carpet too
Kevin, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Stephen, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Cheap and cheerful...
Sharon, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Lovely old place but slight issues with bathroom heater on 24/7. Given it was hot outside this did make the room very warm. However, everything else about the place was good and the location was excellent.
Amanda, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Staff friendly and check in was good. Old historic property and decor very tired. Room whilst clean was dated and well worn and the mattress on the bed was dreadful which felt like it had a hole in the middle of it. It was a last minute booking and the cheapest of an expensive group but still a lot of money for a single room
Trevor, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It is a lovely hotel!
Wing Kuen, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Perfect for a short stay

Perfect for a short-stay in Shrewsbury. Brilliant central location, friendly staff and a terrfific breakfast.
Simon, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Staff (Sam) welcoming, helpful, and informative. Only one coffee each in the bedroom was disappointing. Room was large and spacious unfortunately the tv was a little too small for the space. Didn’t eat at the hotel and didn’t see any options however great location for pubs and restaurants.

Historic building and features
Brendan, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

We stayed in room 105 and both mornings the people in the room above were up at 6.30am stomping around their room for at least a hour. Glass recycling was been moved around outside at this time too which was not ideal.
Alyson, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Excellent service and breakfast.

Great location and convenient car park. Service was good. Hotel is old but has interesting history.
Mark, 1-night trip

Lovely hotel
Martin, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

An interesting, historic property in this lovely town. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the rooms clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend it.
Judith, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This fantastic hotel is a real gem, situated in the heart of lovely Shrewsbury and would make a great base for explorers enjoying all the local amenities. The Lion Hotel reflects the environment; quirky, an architectural gem filled with ancient and beautiful furniture pieces, an historic idiosyncrasy still resplendent in faded charm. Not for the fussy or fastidious traveller. This would be for Hogwarts lovers and those seeking individuality. Fabulous comfortable half-poster bed and luxurious bathroom with masses of piping hot water. No breakfast available, but super delicatessens within a minute's walk gets you up and out too! Very reasonable parking fee and dogs welcome. We will come back as often as we are able.
Zoe, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff were amazing. So friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble!! Fantastic brekkie and great location 👍
Robyn-Sophia, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

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.
Edwin, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Staff were very helpful, but place needed updating a distinct lack of atmosphere
