The Lion Hotel  

The lion hotel is in a excellent location and we have stayed here a number of times because of it. It is comfortable and meets all our needs. Receptionists pleasant and helpful.

Room quite tired and worn. Certain areas of the hotel and room are not that clean though bedding is, I dislike the smell especially in the lift and corridors.

1.The bar and surrounding area is nice. 2.The room was spacious with a very comfortable bed. 3.Breakfast was good and served in an excellent breakfast room. 4The staff were efficient and friendly.

1The lift sounded like Dr Who landing in the Tardis.

hotel was in the middle of the town which was good to get about

the room was small and pokey and at the end of a long corridor, no fridge, compared to where else we have stayed was very disappointing for its price. Breakfast was AWFUL, staff were grumpy and ignored us a lot of the time, food was minimal and basic to say the least, would not recommend this hotel.

lovely ambiance good food very relaxing staff helpful

squeaky floor in room above 216

It is a well located hotel and easy to find and park up in. The feel is solid and traditional but comfortable and well equipped and not corporate. I liked the deep old style bath and the bedroom was very comfortable. The bar food was very good, coming from the restaurant and there was lots of space to sit and relax in the public areas. It was good value Wi fi did extend to my bedroom although they told me it worked best in the public areas. Overall I would be happy to return and stay longer.

They was not much to mention. Overall breakfast was good but I would prefer better coffee with breakfast and some fresh fruit available.

Hotel had a real sense of history

the friendly staff especially on arrival. lovely room, close to lovely shops

room at front of hotel, as we are not use to noise, but when staying again will ask for room at the back

great old building

service terrible. food service very slow. Cooked breakfast embarrasingly bad. guests in lounge were waiting a long time for food to arrive. Staff busy chatting amongs themselves.

The room was good with a very comfortable bed and all the expected toiletries. An excellent breakfast - in fact the best I have had in a hotel recently. Good parking facilities and in the centre of town. Have booked again for the flower show.

I think the reception could be a little more welcoming. I phoned down to reception on several occasions - gave up as nobody answered the phone. Also, stood waiting at reception and ignored - eventually asked "did you want something." Have not experienced that anywhere. However, the restaurant staff were wonderful and round and about.

The location was ideal for us.

Creaky floorboards.

The history of the place and it's excellent location. Also the handy, though quaint, on-site parking. Nice lounge, good food, reasonable prices.

Very creaky floors and lots of up and down stairs to our room even using the lift. Perhaps would not suit the unfit or infirm.

Historic hotel right in the middle of town.

A few steps to negotiate to get to the room. Wifi weak.

The location in town the relaxed athmosphere in the hotel

Paying for parking

Old world charm at this fine historic coaching inn. A Shrewsbury institution and with very helpful staff - a slight mix-up with our booking led to our being upgraded to Charles Dickens' suite at no extra charge! A memorable experience..

The slightly faded interior and some plumbing could do with some investment and updating, but that's part of the Lion's charm.

location

Cold shower !!!! And car park is now £10 ever to residents !!!!

Central position helpful interested staff good breakfast

Nothing really

staff were very friendly food was very good but service was very slow

the bed was the hardest we have ever slept in and there was a lot of noise outside in the street (but it was the weekend)

Not much

The hotel is very tired and the staff I encountered who were few and far between did not give the impression that they cared very much about the customer experience. The young lady serving breakfast was the exception to this. A very lonely and depressing stay.

The breakfast was first class beds very comfortable Hotel was very central for all the sites. We both felt very relaxed in the place.

nothing

Lovely old hotel with great character in a beautiful old town. Good food great staff & service.

No pool, gym etc BUT it is very old so not too bothered.........Car park tight.

Excellent evening meal- imaginative and ample. Quirky historic hotel with many period features,central location

not keen on the tea in the welcome basket

Comfort, warm, friendly

Guests on Saturday night got locked out and made a huge noise before they got let in. Suggest a sign at the front door telling them to go the back, where the Night Porter information is displayed.

Excellent food. Wonderful staff Very cosy and relaxing

Small TV Very hard to View from bed distance

Convenient Location, breakfasts are nice

Hotel could do with updating, parking spaces are limited hotel car park should be for guests only not for people attending functions

log fires, warm atmosphere

plumbing in the bedroom and creaky floorboards
