6/10 Good

Been before but the place we stayed has got new owners and does need a lot of work doing. They don’t have a pub there and the hotel rooms need new windows. Other than that girls are fine and breakfast was good too. The other problem was we had to walk up to our hotels with all our bags too as the lift needs fixing.

Excellent hotel in central location
Very nice hotel, full of character. My single room was warm, comfortable, and quiet. I was only staying for one night, and I wanted to park my car until late in evening. The hotel allowed me to use their car park at no extra charge, even though check-out was by 11:00, which was a nice gesture. Breakfast was delicious, and was served promptly.

great value
ideally situated in the center of town, plenty of restaurants, pubs, good shopping. car parking on site ,£5 per night, great value. Rooms were spacious, warm and very comfortable, decor typical of the age of the property. excellent value for money with a cooked English breakfast included. Web site needs updating, no bar, no restaurant but plenty of choice in the area

Room for improvement
A comfortable bed and a spacious room but the bathroom needed a few fixes- the toilet handle was loose and the shower head was loose. The tv was tiny and at the furthest corner of the room from the bed. Only one chair at the table instead of two and the WiFi was rather slow.

Superb Hotel
Really enjoyed our 2 nights at The Lion,the staff were friendly and helpful, got a room on the first floor so not too many steps, very clean and comfortable and spacious, as expected the floorboards were creaky, but wasnt an issue, breakfast excellent, and we were blown over by shrewsbury, gorgeous town, quirky pubs, great architecture, and very vibrant, definitely returning and will stay at The Lion again.

2/10 Poor

Nosiest hotel I've ever stayed in (out of a lot!)
Noisiest hotel ive ever stayed in. Very loud music til late, which by itself wouldnt have been so bad. However, every door closing, every voice, laugh, TV, phone call...completely audible from our room. After an hour of someone in the room above us stomping around causing the walls to shake, i had a migraine. I spoke to reception who initially said that there was nobody above us (there were no floor plans anywhere...isn't this a requirement for fire regs?). Then they said that the room above us would be empty that night. 3.30pm we were relaxing in the room and Stompy McStomp returned. We went downstairs and they asked if we had our "old room card". It must happen so often that they just assumed we would move rooms. We asked what the compensation would be; of course the manager wasn't in. We explained that we couldnt be bothered to move our stuff with no guarantee of compensation so we left after one night. Obviously paid for all 3. Lots of bad smells in the hotel. Think the room had been smoked in in the past from the smell. Pubes in the bathroom. Lazy maintenance - they installed a second toilet roll holder and didnt bother removing the first. There was the standard sign about washing towels and the environment- interesting given that when we arrived the heating was on full and windows all open. The parking is a scam - signs state £10 per day. Luckily id forgotten my password as when we checked in at reception they said it's £5 if you pay there. Greedy, lazy owners.
