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.

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
