Lion Hotel
The room was very cold and the bathroom was even colder as there was no heating in the room. The beds were too low (I have rheumatoid arthritis so struggle to get up from low seats or beds) and the mattress was too soft. The TV was tiny and there was a very limited supply of tea/milk. However, the staff were very helpful and the breakfast was very good.

Limited car parking but very convenient if you find a space ,hotel was clean,tidy and very convenient access to the shopping streets, dont think there is a bar or restaurant but the breakfast was very good and plentiful, the dining room was quite modern and nicely decorated staff are very pleasant and accomodating loads of eating and drinking places within very easy walking distance. As with all old hotels the building was a little tired and showing signs of age,the bedroom was spacous and warm and had all necessary equipment our room was overlooking the shopping streets,there was some traffic noise up till midnigh but thats to be xpected in the town centre..would stay again

Was a bit concerned when I found that in the summer immigrants had been staying in the hotel, but it would appear that the beds are new. Rooms have everything you need, beds are comfy and slept really well. One night stay is great.

I stayed with friends and chose the Lion in Shrewsbury for the history and authenticity of staying in an original listed hotel. Our rooms were decorated nicely although the curtains in one room were tired. It must take alot to maintain a large hotel like the Lion. Bathroom not modern but clean with lovely white towels and toiletries and hot shower. All the staff were lovely, breakfast really good. Nothing was too much trouble. Its definitely not a glitzy hotel but the originality of the building and the homely atmosphere is very welcoming

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
On the positive side, the room was very clean and comfortable, and hotel and dining room staff were friendly and helpful. However the lack of a lift was literally a pain, as I have bad arthritis and my room was on the top floor. Parking was extremely sparse. Overall the hotel looked tired and in need of a facelift inside. Also not ideal to have the doors locked at 11pm.
