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.

Could be a really lovely hotel if it had some money spent on a refurb. Lots of antique features in the property but very musty feel to the place. The threadbare carpets in the common areas don’t help - the same in the bedrooms. Very dated dark wood furniture also along with a small tv in my room. WiFi and phone reception was also poor. Old window frames don’t look as though they’ve been cleaned for years. On the plus side, the staff were lovely, the location is excellent being right in the middle of town and the breakfast was really good. Parking a doddle on site. For the price I suppose it’s reasonable to expect some areas that need improvement, it’s just a shame more could not be done to bring the hotel up to a more acceptable standard.

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.

This is a very old building and is tired in places, but is being run by a group of fabulous staff. They couldn't of made us any more welcome. No bar atm but happy for us to buy and bring in and supplied us with glasses. We had a brilliant time and we will be back in the very near future. Super clean and plenty of hot water! Thank you.

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.
