The Shrewsbury Hotel in Shropshire

Nice room, but shower did not work, and bath was a bit small

Nice pub. Friendly helpful staff. Loved the free water dispenser.

Came here for something to eat on a Saturday evening and got ignored by the bar staff, to the extent other customers were commenting on me not being served. When I was eventually service the service was rude and unfriendly. I've never been treated like that before in a pub.....

The usual efficient good value Spoons.

Very comfortable clean room, excellent service at breakfast and the bar, close to the station not far from the shopping area. Definitely stay there again

Great stop over hotel beautiful breakfast

One miserable young girl behind the bar but everyone else were so helpful and friendly

Called here for lunch and a drink. Fast service from friendly staff. Food cooked well.Rail station and bus park close by. As was shopping center and shops.

This review, is primarily of the hotel. The hotel is well and centrally located, we parked in the car park at the train station which was just over £6 for 24 hours and not too far on foot. The staff were pleasant on arrival. The room was clean, and as we expected. Although I did note on our booking that I am a very light sleeper so a quieter room would've been appreciated. We were in 209. I don't think they could've gave us a noisier room. I was woken in the night at least 5 times by people shouting, swearing, singing and then by the 5am delivery. Book here if you want to be central, if you want a nights sleep maybe think twice.. Everything else as expected from a Wetherspoons

Great food, good location. And brilliant value for money on food and drink.

Good Witherspoons pub. Still one of the best in town for price. Food is reasonable as well.

Stayed here about 24 years ago just after Spoons opened this as a hotel. The front car park was a big seller..but now a beer garden. Does what Spoons says on the packet. Food n drink very reasonable.

Ate in there a couple of times. Very good. £16.99p for 2 of us x eating, each time, including drinks (Same meal at where we were staying was £16.99p each, plus drinks❗️). What a difference. Even better a pint of beer was £1.79p❗️(about £7.00p where we were staying). It was very busy for obvious reasons, so says a lot. Recommend.

Accommodation a definite no no if you wish to sleep at all, I believe recently some council id...s allowed for a nightclub next to the wetherspoons pub, nothing against nightclubs and tbh the noise/music level was very low not a problem but the smoking area of the night club is just below all the hotel rooms so from 10PM until 4AM you will be able to clearly hear all the shouting, swearing and squabbling from all the selfish mo..ns I am not a snob but the lack of respect for people staying at the hotel is disgusting, yes we know Karma will get them back in later life but if you have already booked a stay there drink plenty of fluids in the lovely pub area have an empty plastic water bottle handy and if you need to go in the middle of the night! well I think you can guess the rest. I won't be staying there again so please send the ar.....es who approved this for a stop over so they can see for themselves, we stopped there a lot when going to the theatre seven across the river but sadly no more.

Positives first.. room small but clean and tidy and perfect for a short break.. Location is fab with a short walk to centre and all local amenities. Staff every member of staff we had dealings with were friendly knowledgeable and polite and pleasant in particular Jack the night porter. NEGATIVE We stayed here for one night last night after a lovely day. we went out for a meal and a few drinks at the night time and arrived back in our room at approximately 12.30am. Our room was 109 and was situated on the side of the Hotel the furthest part of the hotel across the road was the Take Away Shrewsbury BBQ and Grill.. This is when our night went wrong.. The noise from the adjacent take away was absolutely horrific people shouting screaming singing and even a fight, this all went on until 4.10am. We were given some earplugs from reception but tbh they were no good ..Think this hotel needs to invest in some better windows. I appreciate speaking to the manager this morning and coming and she dealt politely and professionally with my complaint. My advice to anyone staying here at a weekend would be to avoid at all costs rooms 108 and 109. I do have a video but unfortunately cannot load it onto here for people to judge for themselves.

You can't really go wrong with a weatherspoons, you kinda know what you're going to get. All in all, no complaints.

Stayed here for my 20th wedding anniversary

It's Weatherspoon meals always hit and miss ,mine came so over cooked it was returned ,husband and grandson ate there's and mine was still not back ,I asked again ,when it came it was again inedible I just asked for money back and left ,tables all covered with dirty plates and glasses no one cleaning ,people moving them onto window sills so they can sit at a table ,they bring drinks ordered on app and walk back with a empty tray ,needs more staff and more training

The food they provided wasn’t very good and the next day it made me sick all day throwing my guts up won’t be eating from there ever again

I would like early breakfast so wetherspoon is always good option. Great location near the river. Staff was nice and attentive. Good breakfast options at very pocket friendly prices. Quick service. Nice seating area inside as well as outdoor.

When me and my family went to the Wetherspoon restaurant for a meal we had to wait over 30 minutes for the meal to arrive which is ridiculous and this is the only reason I am rating 4 out of 5 other than this it was good👍

Good location, nice big room and bathroom. It was good!

As I found out. Aka. Getting banned. If you sit at the multitude of outside tables. Theyres no menus. So I didn't even know they dis food. Hence why I went to the kebab house. And git banned for eating. The 'landaly' said she could do the food I'd just bought cheaper. But had no definitive proof. And banned me anyway. But other than that. Cheap, quality beer.

we had food at lunchtime it wasn't the best and it wasn't hot at all

Stay here the best place in shrewsbury

Friendly staff Excellent value for your money Good range of drinks

Small compact room, walking distance from station, weekend away with the football crowd , perfect for what we wanted

The Shrewsbury Hotel is an excellent wetherspoons. There is the usual wide choice of beers, lagers, and cider, including five hand pulled cask conditioned real ales when we visited. The real ales we sampled were in excellent condition. There is a large outside seating area partly covered in front of the hotel. The place is nicely decorated. the staff were very friendly and efficient.

Hi I enjoyed my stay at the Shrewsbury Hotel the food was good the staff were great and the accommodation was very good,would not hesitate to go back ,thumbs up .

Very very clean hote l unfortunatelly the lift didn't work at the time, though great value for money, couple of steps from train station .

Staff very friendly. Room spotlessly clean . On 2nd floor which was a struggle for older people as lots of stairs .

OK for price. Rooms functional, but don't move the beds if you are particular about cleanliness. The location is very convenient, but light sleepers may not appreciate the early morning noises if their room overlooks the street.

One of the all time great spoons'

Excellent food and drink at very low price. Good service and friendly staff.

Excellent wetherspoons pub, clean well staffed so everything works as it should, food well presented, staff friendly and helpful

Can't say much about this place, only popped in for a quick drink. Staff were friendly

It's wetherspons! Dark uninviting sit outside on busy traffic light junction . Hotel not used

Out on a day trip from Swansea, I called in for an after dinner drink on Wednesday 6th March. I was greeted at the bar by a friendly and helpful young man who offered me a tester of the three guest ales available. That, together with his helpful comments made my selection easy and a sat down and enjoyed a superbly fresh and tasty pint. I couldn't help but notice how much more spotlessly clean and tidy everything looked since my last visit. A smart young lady was extremely diligent in her tidying up and meticulousness wiping down of the tables. The Manager has obviously got a great team together in creating what was my finest experience in a Wetherspoons bar.

Enjoyed our overnight stay in this hotel food was well presented and served quickly. Rooms were very comfortable and spacious and we will definitely stay at this hotel again

It was busy, and struggled to get served, but the drinks are cheap

Supported a person there with excellent service nothing too much trouble , as for different items I asked for, for the person I supported, it was quickly given a very pleasant experience. Excellent staff friendly service

Average Spoons, nothing to write home about

Stopped for breakfast was amazing well all weatherspoon breakfasts are great and value for money ...

Great spoons , busy. not full of space cadets like a lot of them.

It's a Spoons, cheap ale, I recommend the Ruby Jane Mild

Excellent hotel, 1st class service. Recommended.

A standard Wetherspoon's pub in a good location by the river in the centre of Shrewsbury. Could do with a refurbishment but it's ok. Keenly priced as you would expect. Open from breakfast till late at night.

Excellent San Miguel, Steak dinner was okay,

Went here for breakfast on the two mornings we were in Shrewsbury, would definitely recommend the eggs Benedict 🤗

Came here for a meal. I don't think you can go wrong here. It's not fancy but it is good food. Would highly recommend if you are on a budget/ want a good value meal.

The best place to watch sports cheap beers and largers and meals friendly staff

Great clean location with friendly staff ❤️

Food is fab quick service cheap as chips

Meal lovely and hot and came very quick

Good food and drink at an affordable price. I met with friends for a social evening, so can't comment on the hotel.

Can't beat a Spoons and we enjoyed our food and drinks here . Very lively atmosphere too

Loved it and not tons of steps for the toilets. Only thing that would of been better would of been assistance with drinks as i was guiding a blind person

Great hotel staff were great, and the room had everything you needed for a good stay.

Best priced & exactly wot u need

Great for visiting Shrewsbury. Within easy walking distance of the station, places of interest and the shops. Located on the river with lovely walks along it. Good value for money.

A typical Spoons for those familiar with the brand. The choice of cask beers was more limited than usual though but served well and the staff were friendly and efficient.

Didn't stay here, but ate a very delicious lunch at the restaurant. Good portions and cooked to order.

Everything that we needed. Nice place to stay..... at a very reasonable price.

As before, food was good and very well priced. Service was prompt, staff friendly. Again though, tables were not cleared quickly enough and when the one next to me was cleared the contents of the photo were left on the floor. I was there for over 30 minutes and no staff member came and swept up. Poor. Hence the average mark.

Old, run down. Noisy. Was clean, but not worth the money.

Popped in for breakfast. Standard weatherspoons fair, reasonable breakfast at a good price, just what you need in a morning.

Food great value, fantastic choice, good quality and staff always really efficient and friendly

Always been a good pub but the food has really gone downhill...ordered a ham and mushroom pizza with 2 sliced mushrooms and probably 2 small pieces of ham ...stone cold ..I know it was busy but come on guys...

Nice place to stay rooms were suprising nice & clean king size bed very comfy

Nice pub but shocking bar service. Barman so busy taking to his colleague he hardly noticed me. Finally came over and just looked at me - no greeting or anything. Couldn't remember half the order and needed reminding. All the while chatting to his colleague. Wow service has gone downhill here. And the lady on the table next to mine was also complaining about the same person. The lad with the purple hair.

Great pub good meals reasonably priced

always call in at a spoons for a pint of Abbot

Great staff in the hotel and bar! Bed was super comfortable, loved watching the nightlife out the window, although not at all noisy late night. Bathroom floor could do with fixing, but did not bother us. Would definitely stay here again.

Didn't stay in hotel but we had a meal and drink. Food hot and on hot plates! Drink served quickly. Good experience, better than a lot of pubs charging double!

Had a hot meal and a good choice

I've been here a couple of times, staff are always lovely and polite, and food is always delicious.

Great location. Rooms comfortable although bed was a little hard. Staff were great and great wetherspoons prices.

The ales always have a bookish, old Church taste? Putting it down to pumps/lines

This was a very welcoming hotel for drinking, creating this feel right away from the Shrewsbury hotel sign! The design echoes the town's rich history and even shows brewery barrels, counter is well-presented and staff were kind. I had a tasty Halluomi wrap with a pint of Stella Artois, served to stylish seating!

I didn't stay in the hotel just called for a beer, great place staff very friendly

Just had breakfast and a pint there. Food , beer, and servicewas very good

Impressive spoons, with a substantial outdoor space the central bar serves both ends of the premises, 6:ales available.

Spoons innit, shout-out to Jodie tho she's cool

Only popped in for drinks, sat outside, plenty room inside and out, midweek lunchtime. Usual Wetherspoons really

After a lengthy train journey, it was great to enjoy a small burger with an excellent salad and reasonable (though not quite hot enough) chips. The large beer, a Pale Ale went down well. The male manager was very pleasant. Given it was Tuesday and after 1330 hours, I was surprised to see so many enjoying lunch. It is testamount to the chain's good reputation. The majority of these Wetherspoons hotels offer a convivial atmosphere for all types of people. The Shrewsbury Hotel is no exception1

Just come back from two nights stay here and after reading some really bad reviews the night before we went I was a bit worried but I was pleasantly surprised, the beds seemed quite new, a lite hard for me but just my preference, looked to be newly decorated and I had the best bath ever it was so deep I could have slept in it lol! It was a little noisy early in the mornings but to be expected as its near a busy road, would probably been a lot worse at the weekend though but overall a brilliant stay for a budget hotel break.

Ignored at a near empty bar as the barmaid served 3 other people she knew as they arrived in quick succession after me. Not always easy to spot the next customer in a busy bar, but it was quiet so clearly intentional or she wasn't very bright.

Good hotel, great service, good value, great location for nightlife, we stayed 2 nights, would recommend

Not my first time. I've never been disappointed. Veggie option, large with unlimited tea or coffee. Ate at 09.30, sets me up until evening meal. Friendly staff, quick service, very clean. Plenty of space between tables. Just one downside, used plates etc aren't cleared as food is taken to adjoining tables. Not a big deal really but no need for it to happen, the staff are walking the floor constantly. And a little word of warning to the men reading this, watch out for the slight (unmarked) rise in the floor level in the gents, I've seen it catch out many over the years, can cause you to stumble.

Fabulous value in prime location.Wetherspoons always have the best deals for drinks but have a fantastic offer on the mixed grill £4.99.Been before & will again.Great staff ,fantastic outdoor seating

Hubby and I had a 2 night stay here as attending the retro festival in The Quarry. Location was superb as was The Frankwell car park we were advised to park in. Parking fees were very reasonably priced, free after 6pm and on Sundays but had to go and get new day ticket by 8am on the Saturday morning. Check in was quick and easy and done by 2 very helpful ladies who were smartly dressed and courteous. Our festival trolley was very kindly stored at the back of reception until the following morning. Our family room booked was of a very good size, clean and with ample tea, coffee and biscuits. The bed was comfy and a good nights sleep was had on both nights. However, we were woken a few times through the night by revellers passing the hotel and also traffic noise as our windows were at the front. We did not need an alarm clock as the elderly gentleman who was sweeping the front beer garden made plenty of noise with his plastic brush and pan starting very early in the morning! The bathroom was of a large size, toiletries provided and large fluffy towels. Shower was powerful and plenty of hot water to be had. The breakfast had were very good, reasonably priced and pleasing to have served on warm plates. All drinks very reasonably priced and all staff jolly, helpful and courteous. All ready booked to return in 2024.

Spoons are normally a good standby and their fish and chips is normally of a reasonable standard as it was on this occasion. The Abbot ale is the main attraction for me. Unfortunately the experience left a lot to be desired. Sticky tables, a guy stood outside the window, spitting. A drunk stood at a table randomly talking at people. Good value and decent food but I won't be rushing back.

Food location and staff wonderful. Everything about this place was good. I would certainly recommend

Not stayed or eaten but guess it’s standard Spoons with the addition of accomodation. Difficult to be critical as the prices are more than competitive and this in turn tends to attract a broad range of clientele. There is a large sunny outside area but I have marked it down because dogs aren’t welcome

The first Wetherspoon hotel, now open 25 years. Impressions were mixed. Staff were helpful, room comfortable, though access not very easy for an old bloke with a gammy knee (no lift). Room should have been marketed as a single. Double bed made access to bathroom difficult. Bathroom itself was a tight fit. Anyone enthroned on the toilet had right knee touching the bath and left knee touching the (possibly hot) towel rail. Room described is 110. Standard Wetherspoon food. Good and cheap in the main, but beans went from fridge to plate bypassing the microwave.

We not returned here since COVID struck. Some changes taken place for the benefit of the pub, hotel. The car park has gone and replaced by an outdoor sitting area. More importantly flood defences have been installed to protect the property. Now to the drinks etc. Not much changes inside, drinks and food increases much in line with other spoons establishments. A sign of the times. Certainly would recommend the place and most certainly will be calling back again, but preferably within months not years.

Service spot on, breakfast great value. But oh my god the amount of old men that necking Stella at 9.30am on a Sunday morning. Their conversations rattle around the room with every other word being f*** Now me and the wife are quite broad minded but having to listen to the nonsensical vulgarity was unacceptable. The staff seemed uninterested but I guess these old foul mouthed codgers are part of the furniture. Certainly wouldn’t take children or family in there.

Vast improvement on our last visit when they were woefully understaffed. Service with a smile and tables cleared quickly. As usual competitively priced.

Friendly and efficient staff. Stayed in room 103 and an issue we had we had with the room was dealt with promptly and courteously. Thank you to all involved. We had an enjoyable breakfast and a wonderful stay.

Visited this establishment with a friend for lunch and we were both very satisfied with our choice of the smaller serving of scampi and chips. The four pieces of scampi were perfectly cooked and the fish was lovely and soft. Chips hot and crispy. The meal included a glass of wine and for less than £8 it certainly was great value or money.
