The Lion Hotel in Shropshire

I only really have one small criticism, which is that the place is a little run down. The staff were amazing though. Very happy. Would recommend to others.

I'm not there fittest of men but being stuck on 3rd for with no lift was horrible but anyway rooms were clean but looked dated and grubby,have to pay for parking not guaranteed a space as open to public,breakfast however was superb the waitress never got her name dark hair piercings was a delight cheery as we're all the staff but the waitress at breakfast exceptional the area itself plenty to do and c

Lovely breakfast, quirky place.. lots of history..

Reception staff superb. Dietary requirements felt like a huge obstacle, despite providing my own ingredients after anticipating likelihood of ANY hotel having anything I can eat.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Lion it's a great location to explore on foot this lovely town and some good food and drinks nearby. The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful and the breakfast was first class. We shall debe back again, thanks team.

The hotels a little bit tired but there is clearly a program of updating going on. Any issues are totally eclipsed by the incredibly helpful staff, a really good breakfast and very good value for money

Great location and staff. Room was comfortable and well appointed. Could do with a bit of an update but all was fine. Handy having a car park and the breakfast was great too. Would use again if needing to stay overnight.

Such a great location right in the heart of Shrewsbury surrounded by lots of independent shops and boutiques. This is a gorgeous old building, oozing with old fashioned charm but it has certainly seen better days. The decor is tired and the corridors and rooms in particular need a refresh although this place is enormous so it would cost a fortune. My bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean, toiletries supplied, towels fresh, and the breakfast was tasty. Friendly and helpful staff as well. It was ideal for a night as we were at a works Christmas do. If you are looking for polish and perfection, this is not it. But for a good night's rest, comfy bed and ancient surroundings, this place is just fine.

The notion that the Lion would be tired and in need of some tlc became a reality this new year's eve. The location is great, the staff helpful and the historical provenance nailed on. But to be honest, I found the faded grandeur a bit depressing. Our room was a standard double, definitely a no frills option with a tiny wall mounted TV and ailing shower. You certainly did get the feeling you weren't treating yourself. Although the convenience of the location is its major selling point, the Lion really needs to better.

This is one of the friendliest hotels I have ever stayed in. To say that the staff couldn't do enough for you would be an underatatement. I would highly recommend you stay in its quirky rooms and see if you fee the same.

The Lion Hotel is in a beautiful old building and fits very well in Shrewsbury on one of the main roads through the town. The room was not 5* but still a nice place to be, very was very comfy, shower was nice and hot. Staff were very helpful and the breakfast was very good. £5 parking wasn't terrible, but free parking would have been a great addition.

A quirky guesthouse in a beautiful building, sadly in need of sympathetic refurbishment. The rooms and general decor are quite tired and dated, with obvious signs of wear and tear. Breakfast was good and the staff friendly. Great location and a solid budget option.

Good value old hotel in the centre of Shrewsbury with parking..

Tried to book a room seems to be full of illegal immigrants can't call yourself a hotel at this point more like a military base cos there's no migrant women or children just young men of military age wake up England ffs

I don't think it's open as a hotel (July 2023)
