Cromwell's Hotel  

This is our fourth stay since June and we love Cromwells. It is very near the town centre, an easy walk to the shops, and there are lots of restaurants nearby if you don't want to eat in Cromwells. The breakfasts are really excellent and all the staff are very friendly.

The lack of parking might be a problem but there is a large carpark not too far away. You need to have the right change for it but the staff are quite happy to change notes for you.

If you love the character of Shrewsbury you will love Cromwells. You feel as though you are part of the history of the town but with all the mod cons to make your stay comfortable.

We have a city break every year prior to Chritmas and our stay at Cromwell's was one of the more successful partly due to it's location in Shrewsbury. This enabled us to explore the city and also travel to Ludlow by train as the station was only 5 minutes walk away. The facilities and food in the hotel were excellent, I would recommend the hotel to anybody.

The room was bigger, and furnished with antiques in a quirky way- we liked it a lot.

It is not a hotel as such- there are guest rooms over a pub/restaurant; there are no public hotel areas, for example, hotel reception is the pub bar. The breakfast was B+B style.

I like most everything about this hotel.

Thought it was a little on the expensive side as it is a pub with rooms.

Good location, friendly staff, characterful building

Noisy fan from kitchen was quite loud in our room

Excellent and helpful staff Convenient to move around Good breakfast Good bar and restaurant Free wifi Easy check in and out

I enjoyed the period feel of the architecture, and the quaint frontage, and the fact that it was near to the centre of town, convenient for shopping and restaurants.

The room was too small and not everything worked. The reception was in the bar, so to register you have to go through noisy people drinking and shout out your needs. Most of the things I didnt like would come complaints I suppose.

Arrived to find we'd been given a free upgrade to one of the four- poster rooms, which was absolutely splendid, very well appointed and luxurious, especially at the price. Some reviewers have mentioned that the noise from the pub meant their rooms weren't very restful, we had the opposite problem that there was actually building work ongoing when we arrived so the pub/restaurant weren't open for business at all! So it was lovely and quiet at night - but we couldn't get a drink (or breakfast!). However the management went out of their way to make sure we had alternative breakfast arrangements at a small restaurant just round the corner. Not ideal but a thoughtful attempt to sort a relatively minor issue!

I want to give them the benefit of the doubt, as we clearly arrived during some work that had taken longer than they'd anticipated - nonetheless it was a bit shambolic, and I wasn't happy to find there was no hot water in the room in the morning! Overall though the good (terrific room, lovely bed, great price) far outweighed the bad.

location staff food quality

Excellent!

Very old timber framed building with lots of character, beams and uneven floors, right in the town centre. Room was small but had everything we needed, very comfortable and clean and a very good shower. There was a little noise from the bar as we were going to sleep and a little noise from the road as we woke up but it didn't bother us at all. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good and we also had dinner which was excellent. We would certainly stay there again.

Very good sized room, 4 poster bed with a flat screen tv. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great location for exploring a lovely town. Excelent breakfast.

Our stay was too short.
