Thoroughly enjoyed our stay & loved the historic charm!
The room was very large, plenty of space for our travel crib. The bed very comfortable & overall very clean. The bedroom was lovely & warm. The shower had amazing pressure. We really enjoyed our stay & loved the history & charm of the hotel. The staff were also very kind & a young man on check out even let me see the famous Charles Dickens Suite before we left.
The overall hotel is run down. The carpets are threadbare. Our curtains in our room had rips & the decor is outdated, however the old charm of the hotel makes up for it & if upkeep & a money was put back into it, it would once again be a fantastic place to stay. Also due to circumstances there was no bar or food available but this didnt affect our stay.
8.0 / 10.0
Comfortable stay in a Great Location.
Staff were very helpful, we were able to store our luggage there prior to checking in and after checking out as we travelled by train and had time to kill bimbling around the town. The room was clean, nice size and the shower was great.
No on-site restaurant. Plenty of great eateries in the immediate area but due to being lazy we like to eat where we stay.. To be fair, they didn't advertise that there was food available so lack of research on our side of things.
8.0 / 10.0
Was very good and loved the history the only thing that let it down was the cleanliness of the room
Loved the history in every part of it and easy parking right in the midddle of town
Needs a bit more maintenance and updated decor
5.0 / 10.0
Very close to town but dated look, needs a good revamp. Stay there again due to proximity, maybe.
Close to town.
Dated décor. Check in only accept cards not cash, wasn't aware of this. On site parking machine only accepts cash NOT card, also not aware. Informed by desk staff it was cheaper to pay at desk for parking again NOT made aware beforehand. Also, parking bays quite tight to get into. If the carpark is full there are (paid for) 24hr parking but only between 18:00-06:00. Majority of floorboards creaked when walking on them. Could hear resident upstairs walking around and snoring. Cannot open widows, apparently security locked. Lord knows what happens in emergency. Bath needs replacing, very marked giving dirty appearance. Toilet seat moved when sitting on it.
6.0 / 10.0
Pleasant, interesting historical building.
Location and history of the building.
Needs secondary glazing due to outside noise at the front of the building.

Super stay in Shrewsbury at The Lion
This is a fantastic place to stay so well located and does just the job for a stay in super Shrewsbury 👌
5.0 / 10.0
The Dickens suite was very unique but the hotel had no facilities and was not at all welcoming.
The Charles dickens suite was quirky and very comfortable .
The hotel had nothing no restaurant, no bar, just a reception and rooms. Such a waste of such a wonderful building. We didn’t feel welcomed and although the room was quirky and comfortable it should have been higher quality for £150 spent.
