Greeting by reception staff was good but they had an issue with my hotels.com booking which was fully paid for. Obviously this was not my issue but between the hotel and the provider. The evening receptionist was nothing short of rude, short with me because I wasn’t sure if my room number (I would usually take my room key out with me but this was not allowed “in case of a fire” and then asked me to book my breakfast

A fabulous old building with charming interior. Very comfortable rooms and dining room. Clean room and bathroom; certainly adequate for a short stay staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The breakfast is a feas.. Be aware that the parking is not onsite as listed. Strongly advise phoning the hotel for info and directions.

Excellent service as per normal, we stayed for 3 nights and ate in the restaurant every night, food was excellent. All the staff are so friendly nothing too much trouble. Well stocked bar drinks not overpriced like some hotels. The only downside was my wife who has walking difficulties found the shower tray a little bit slippy.

I booked a room to celebrate our 43rd wedding anniversary. I booked a restaurant in Shrewsbury too. When we checked in, the room was very cold, the radiator was lukewarm, and one of the towel rails in the bathroom wasn't working. We were hoping to shower and change before going out. I went to the reception and was told we could be upgraded and to pack our bag. When I returned, they gave us the key to a much poorer room with a dingy bathroom (with a shower over the bath) and condensation running down a window high on the bedroom wall. Apparently, the radiator in the upgraded room had leaked. By this time, it was too late for us to shower, as we needed to leave for our booked table at the restaurant. We were moved again on returning to the hotel. Evening and planned celebration ruined. I did complain, but have received no reply.

Reception staff were excellent and very approachable. Bar staff were the same. Good breakfast and staff very efficient. Cleanliness of room not great. Plus when we arrived the heating had been turned off and the window in the room was wide open, so the room was absolutely freezing

5.0 / 10.0

Stayed here several times and would stay again . Hotel is a little tired in places but it adds to it’s character but some small repairs would make a difference ( just general maintenance) Rooms vary greatly depending on what part of the hotel you stay in. Staff are usually very friendly and helpful ( our checkin lady was lovely as was the waitress at breakfast) Breakfast is always great quality . Room is clean but can be a bit tired again depending on what part of the hotel. I love this hotel for its character charm and location so would happily stay again

Check in was good, friendly staff and offered a glass of sherry! Hotel is very historic and could be stunning but needs a lot of investment. It’s very tired and seems to be stuck in a time warp, but having said that everywhere was very clean. The room was a good size with a bathroom off of a lobby area. But although we didn’t check in until 5pm (2 hours after the earliest time of 3pm), the radiators hadn’t been turned on and so the room and bathroom in particular were very cold. The bed was very soft and the pillows very lumpy, way past their best! There was no hot water in the morning which was disappointing as the bath looked very inviting! The breakfast that was included was served in the panelled dining room and was very nice. We mentioned our issues the next morning on checking out but the lady on reception said she didn’t usually work there so could only pass on our message. So all in all, we were disappointed by the hotel which is a shame as the position in Shrewsbury is excellent and it could be an amazing place to stay.

Catfishing by a hotel is a new one on me! The room was extremely dated with the bed moving across the room as soon as I sat down. Wheels not locked and no way to stop it. TV I hadn’t seen since the 90s! Service was strange I felt like I was a scolded child when I left with my room key… pretty sure I can look after my room key I’ve managed to look after my car and house keys for many years without an issue. Breakfast very very old school. Solid poached eggs, cold toast, awful watery coffee. Unfriendly staff with an undertone of strict parenting isn’t what I want when I’m paying for a hotel. Very expensive and would recommend other hotels or air bnbs.

This is a nice Hotel ,in a great spot and we stayed in a smallish room 304 with a great balcony . The desk staff and bar staff were fine .However the hotel has a number of small faults that could easily be put right .1 Show head is blocked, Bathroom sink tap plumbed wrong way round , TV is on wall to side of bed so difficult to see when there is space on the wall directly in front of bed Had to wait 10 ~ 15 minutes before anyone asked what we would like to drink with breakfast . Wife has scrambled eggs on toast and could not eat scrambled eggs to watery , my breakfast was fine . All of these point are easy fixed and I would recommend you stay there .

What didn't go well? Staff. So basically, this hotel doesn't condone taking a second person to your room if you've booked single occupancy. Really?! They actually clocked me coming back with my partner and phoned the room 20mins later to say she had to leave(!!). When asked to give me the price for her to stay, they took a whole minute to work it out. As if the phone call was not about a solution other than kicking her out - the extra charge was £65 on top of the original £95. My partner wasn't staying, and this was explained, but I was told she had to leave the premises immediately. We left. No refund offered, sad. Bye bye Prince Rupert.

The room was cold and neglected, the carpet was old and lifted between the bathroom and room. The windows had mould. The kettle was old and rusty. The bed was uncomfortable. The bath wasn’t clean around the plug hole and didn’t hold water when a bath was run. There was mould around the seals of the bath and the silicon was lifted. The windows had mould on the seals at the bottom. The bathroom was very cold.

Reception was okay, wanting to know what time we wanted breakfast the following morning, before we finished booking in. Room also okay, very clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was a good choice of cereals and fruit and freshly cooked - if small -breakfast.

Central. Amenities close by

4.0 / 10.0

The hotel is located in the middle of old Shrewsbury so is ideal for wandering around the town. However we arrived by car and the hotel car park is a short walk away. It is necessary to drop your bags off first and then park the car and walk back. Access to the front of the hotel is via narrow cobbled streets which can be confusing.

This is the fourth time at the Prince Rupert and it doesn't disappoint. A proper traditional hotel with lovely staff and offering a glass of sherry on arrival. Very good traditional breakfast, but a variety of healthy options available too. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, with an off-site parking area that can be completely full when you get there, so you need to find an alternative yourself. Other than that, the Prince Rupert is situated in the central area of Shrewsbury with all of the picturesque areas well within walking distance, and plenty of good restaurants to visit too. We will return.

This was our 4th visit at this hotel- chosen originally for being close to all amenities and being an older & “ quirkier “ property- this time was our wedding anniversary and believe me they pulled out all the stops We were allocated The King James Suite ( complete with 4 poster) and there were a huge bouquet of flowers, box of chocolates and a card waiting within A truly lovely gesture The room itself appears original but the bathroom was brand new - super walk in shower with two shower heads and a really nice corner bath Outstanding 👍 Breakfast is a combination of buffet style and service A nice touch was the haddock and poached egg. The full English had some really tasty bacon and a proper pork sausage. Excellent Check in and out was a breeze and all staff were really friendly and welcoming Would we come back again? Absolutely we would

I was greeted by Isabel, who was very friendly, knowledgeable of the hotel and area, could not do enough to help. The hotel is in a great area of Shrewsbury, plenty of shops, restaurants close by. The room was clean, with the necessary amenities. The walls are not soundproof as I could hear people in the next room, not loudly though. Breakfast has almost everything you would like to eat, from cold cereals, fruit, pastries, yogurt and cooked breakfast. The hotel has warmth, charm and character, something I appreciate. The staff are polite and helpful. I certainly would stay here again and again.

This very historical property is very old, atmospheric and querky. It's in a central position in Shrewsbury & has its own bar and restaurant. Lot's of pubs and restaurants available in Shrewsbury town centre. We stayed a friday night & the pub next door played loud music until closing time at 11pm so be aware if you have a room at the front. The breakfast was cooked to order and contential options were also available. Parking is available (£10 p/night) though the hotel is a 5 minute walk away

Check in, comfort,location food all good but hotel sadly falls short on apparent shortage of staff.Breakfast very good but disappointing restaurant menu,was expecting something more interesting than burger or fish and chips for dinner. Housekeeping leaves a lot to be desired. Room not serviced at all one day and only received a call after requesting tea bags at 3.30pm on another. Public rooms very tired and in need of decorating or at least deep cleaning of chairs and sofas.
