Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I had booked this room mainly because it had a bath, which I never got to use because the water was cold every day. I reported it on day one and nothing was done about it. I just had to have quick, cold showers each day. Awful. The bathroom was disgusting. Urine stains on the toilet seat, which was also loose and would swivel around leaving you sitting on the porcelain. The taps were also loose and you had to hold them at the base to prevent them also swivelling around. The room was noisy, partly from the live music and functions at the venue, but mainly from the other guests. My room was near the entrance to the main accommodation, so there was a lot of door slamming and creaking floorboards. I didn't get much sleep during my entire stay. The bed was something that a charity shop would reject. Without doubt the worst bed I have ever experienced in any accommodation, including backpackers. The only good things about this place were the breakfast and its central location.

One night stay in central Shrewsbury

The rooms are in an annexe to the pub. 24 hour access to the rooms with a key to that areas. Stairs are quite steep but there's not too many of them. The room was spacious and with central heating that worked. Also there was a small mobile heater and a fan. Only issue was the shower was small and the temperature of the water was impossible to get right. The English Breakfast tasted good, made to order, though the sausage was small. The service was very pleasant. All in all a good value stay and the location was a bonus, near the centre of town. Less than ten minutes from the railway station.

Information not disclosed beforehand by hotel

We booked en suite bathroom. Bathroom was private,but separate from room, along corridor and up 3 steps. As elderly couple difficult at night. Placed on top floor, no lift, no one to carry luggage. Breakfast was supposed to be included, but on arrival, we were informed that it would only be served at 9. We requested, just sandwich, were refused. Asked again the next day and were allowed a sandwich. We still felt badly treated from attitude of staff on first night.
