8.0 / 10.0
The rooms and ambience were very relaxing and the location is right in the centre of town very close to the NCP car park. Breakfast was decent and service was quick and cheerful.
The shower was poor. Weak pressure and difficult to regulate the heat. Electric showers are never the best.

We have stayed here before. Lovely garden room and comfy bed. Tea , coffee, hot chocolate and water provided with biscuits . Breakfast was fresh and tasty with lots of choice, although it was an extra charge of £15pp
No parking but there was a car park around the corner @ £1.40 per hour from.8am to 6pm

The room and hotel decor, location, friendly colleagues, and general comfort are all excellent.
Clean room, great selection of hot drinks in the room, nice shower and bathroom.
If I had to ne really picky....The mirror in room 19 is not adjustable for taller people.
4.0 / 10.0
Very friendly, very clean and well presented on first impressions.
Tea/coffee hospitality tray very welcoming.
Lovely soap/shower/moisturiser supplied in the bathroom.
Why put a dressing table/chair in front of a bathroom door?
The noise tolerated from room above! Also felt like they were stamping around. Could hear everything.
Getting back to tge room in the dark- sensor lights slow coming on.
No overnight staff.
Everyone dib dabbing in the same pots at breakfast.
No option to stay in a tiny garden room to stay in the house.
Palaver just to get hot water in the sink.

The staff, room itself, and location were lovely
There is a distinct lack of soundproofing, so having a groundfloor room made it impossible to sleep until the couple above had finished repeatedly arguing and banging around for hours. Had there been a manned reception, I would have asked to change rooms. As it was, we did go to sleep until those in the room above had run out of steam.

The host was lovely. The venue was cute. Breakfast was great
One way streets in Shrewsbury involved going around a few times before locating parking.

Reception very friendly and helpful that gave a real good start to our stay. The room was perfect far better than many other places we have stayed and good value for money. Breakfast was superb and the staff full of smiles that made a good start to our day. Overall a really nice and comfortable stay.

Breakfast, room comfort (warmth, mattresses, lighting etc.), and the general vibe of the place. And the staff (especially at breakfast).
The only things I didn't like (and this is being incredibly picky) are the alarm clocks in the rooms which have a blue light... Simply solved by covering it (:

Lovely warm welcome. Staff in all areas were professional and friendly. The 2 lounges and honesty bar were great. Very reasonable and realistic prices which encouraged us to use this facility.
Overall decor was lovely and especially the Christmas decorations at this time.
Great central location close to many shops, bars and cafes. Easy to get around town to see the highlights . I'd particularly recommend a visit to St Chads church. One of only 8 churches built in the round. Check for any concerts. We didn't but wished we had..
We had double rooms which are quite cosy (aka small)
We were also overlooking the street which was quite noisy into the early hours (even with the window closed)
I'd request a different outlook and treat us to a bigger room next time.

The room was nice and the bed big and comfortable. Shower and towels good. Location convenient. Walked from the station easily, and was close to the the attractive shopping area, and river. The staff were lovely and friendly.
There was an unfortunate amount of noise from above and the wall beside the bed. Very disturbing the first night and early morning. The room is a basement beneath the lounge area and walkway to the office and breakfast room. The walls are very thin and everything could be heard, voices, tv, stomping around,
The heating works well but it was very stuffy . Then at 3am it was pretty cold.
The rug was covered in dog hairs and the small chair, and wasn't clean. Although hoovered it needs to be shampooed or changed. I do not like being in a room that has had a dog staying. The hotel should be much more careful when allowing them to stay.

Breakfast is always very good here. The area is lovely especially at Christmas with the decoration etc
To be fair you couldn't fit a larger bed, but when you sleep in a legend bed at home you can tell the difference

Breakfast is great, location is great. The size of room depends which one your put in, but as I'm travelling alone it's really comfortable and perfectly fine for me. Honesty Bar is a great touch and the decor is very homely.
Shower was a touch small in my room and the room was a little cool at night... if I'm being picky though.

Lovely staff, clean, amazing breakfast, lovely lounges
I was in a separate building with a noisy double door which disturbed me at night - there is a big puddle across the path you have to walk on to get to breakfast etc

Location, setting, staff, comfort all outstanding
The shower is electric and quite basic, settings don’t allow you to set your ideal temperature. In the annexe that we were based the walls were thin so all movement from our neighbours was audible; footsteps, taps, TV etc

Lovely property, interestingly furnished, individual and quirky. A warm welcome from the young lady at reception..
A very comfortable double room with all the facilities we needed.
A well stocked honesty bar in the lounge was great at the end of a long day.
An excellent breakfast rounded off a most pleasant stay.
Only one thing, it was a very cold night and the radiators
could have been a bit hotter to be comfortable in the morning.

Darwin’s Townhouse is very well located. We could walk everywhere in Shrewsbury. The staff were excellent, professional and friendly. Best breakfast we have had on our travels. Honesty bar and communal lounge a nice touch. Public car park was 1 minute walk away. Would definitely recommend.

The building was beautiful, the staff courteous polite warm friendly and informative, the facilities were good.
The room beautifully decorated and very clean and very cosy and beds comfy.
The room was very hot and stuffy.
The noise outside the window of room 9 was really really loud from one of the bars. This went on until around 2am so not a great nights sleep!
