The hotel was in the center if everything we needed ie shops,venues,takeaways and train station and the staff were really lovely people both in the hotel and the pub would definitely stay again

It is exactly what you would expect from a four hundred year old Inn. It was quaint and quirky. It wasn't the steralized and sanitized Inn that modern hotel chains have. It was a wonderful step back in time. I loved every minute and every squeek from the floor. A truly grand experience. I intend to return.

It was my second time staying here. I visit the town because a friend lives there. Before my trip, I kept talking to him to plan ahead and find good places to go out to, like pubs. Since it's England, we thought we should find a place serving shepherd's pie. We both barely found a place in a nearby town, serving vegan shepherd's pie. We even asked them if they can make the original version, which contains mutton. They replied saying the menu will have changed by that time. I told this to the staff at The Rectory via direct messages, they confirmed that they haven't seen shepherd's pie around either, then the manager told me the chef will make the dish just for me and my friend! The same "hunt" happened regarding cottage pie (that one is made with beef) but the one pub we could find, serving vegan cottage pie in a nearby town, simply agreed to make us the non-vegan version. Back to The Rectory: Their chef made us portions that were about twice the size of the aforementioned cottage pie from the neighboring town. And it cost us much less than we expected, about half of what we thought we'd pay. We thought we could at least leave a tip for the favor, but no!

The location was very convenient to the sights of Shrewsbury, close to the river walk and accessible via the Greyfriar's Bridge to the Coleham area. Lots of restaurants and pubs nearby. Nice little pub inside the hotel itself. Excellent staff!

This is a hotel full of character in a fantastic location. Parking was off site, but only a short walk away. There was plenty of choice at breakfast. I had previously read the book about how the staff cared for the homeless during Covid, so was keen to see the hotel for myself. I would highly recommend staying at the Prince Rupert Hotel.

500 years old oozing charm and character. Spacious and comfortable room. Very helpful hostess

Every member of staff was very helpful and positive - evidence of good staff training. Staff seemed to work as a team happily, creating a great atmosphere. The downstairs area was interestingly laid out and furnished, giving different areas for more cosy relaxation. Our experience of Dinner, Bed and Breakfast was exceptional, with an excellent chef.

Nice big room with a bath and a well equipped kitchen.
