The Lion Hotel was one of the most prestigious hotels in the town when I was young and having been born and brought up in Shrewsbury I was looking forward to staying there this weekend. Sadly it did not live up to expectations. The smell when entering from the garage was that of an old disused, uncared for building which is what it is. The reception area was dark and dingy. As there was no lift I was kindly helped with my bags to my single room at the top of the hotel. The carpet was stained and although had been hoovered was ingrained with years of dirt. The mattress was so old and creaky it made a noise whenever I moved and was very uncomfortable. The bathroom was clean and there was lots of hot water so that was a plus. I felt sorry for the staff who were pleasant and helpful but had to explain to guests that they weren't serving breakfast any more and had no restaurant, having to reimburse some guests. The whole hotel needs complete refurbishment to bring it up to an acceptable level for an enjoyable stay.

The staff were very helpful, the hotel is old, but is clean with spacious rooms. The dripping shower was a bit annoying, but apart from that, we had no complaints. We would use this hotel again, it’s very central, and car park is good.

The Lion provided me with exactly what I required. I was meeting some friends I used to work with many years ago. I have never been to Shrewsbury before. The staff were helpful in telling me where to go to meet my friends. The hotel was very nice, great location and a car park! I will hopefully visit again but with my wife next time. Loved Shrewsbury.
