A great central location in a lively pub with great staff and food. The room itself is looking a bit tired and needs a refresh and a good carpet clean but was a good size and bed was comfortable.

Loopy shrew
Room very hot and unable to open windows. On first night only one bath towel and no bath mat so used hand towel as mat. Shower over bath had no grabrail and floor of bath very slippery which was extremely dangerous. Quite a bit of mould over bath.

This is a lovely hotel! The restaurant has excellent food along with great atmosphere. Our room was great & the bed was very comfortable. The only regret we had was the fact we had to check out early the next morning & couldn’t stay longer. We will definitely be back!

This was intended as a special birthday weekend. Nowhere on the hotels website did it mention rooms with restricted head height but that's what we were given. I have a 6'2" husband and they gave us a 5' sloping bathroom ceiling. I asked for a different room but there were no others available. I understand that if there are no other rooms they can't move us so I didn't think it unreasonable to ask for a discount. Apparently that was not an option and we were offered a bottle of wine as compensation. However, that didn't materialise either. It's a very 'lively' establishment and there were some very disappointing aspects to out stay but the breakfasts were very tasty.

We had a lovely but too short stay in the beautiful city of Shrewsbury. We loved The Loopy Shrew for breakfast and dinner and the Sleepy Shrew to rest our tired heads. We didn’t find the ear plugs on the first night but were pleased the music from the restaurant ended by 11:30 during the week.

A wonderful place to stay and for exploring Shrewsbury. The staff are fantastic, couldn't do enough for us. They even changed room when we mentioned our lovely room at the front being noisy( it's an old listed building with single glazing). Our new room was equally as nice just off the side street! They even made us breakfast sandwiches as we were leaving early on our last day before the 'breakfast' started!

Great choice
Great location, very friendly staff, nice place. Room (104) was very hot at night, despite window open and fan on. Bed was too soft for our taste. Cold tap very noisy at times when turned on. Great breakfast choices. Overall, it was a great place to stay
