This hotel is sort of country lodge chic, meets modern bathrooms. The customer service was great (even though they were sold out). A very central location so great for getting around, but obviously a bit noisy until the pubs close. I'd check the parking situation with them beforehand - I didn't and then ended up a bit away as I drove to the hotel and couldn't see it but there is a private carpark nearby.

Wouldnt return

Firstly I'll start by saying the building is really lovely and historic, good location, desk staff on entering polite and friendly, even offering a friendly free sherry, so first impresions were good, however it went downhill from there sadly. The room we had (103) the door handle needed replacing as it was wobbling around and didnt look secure, halls were very tired, paint marked, inside the room the walls cracked and marked and the windows had flowers growing through the cracks and weeds inside the room as they hardly opened so it was so stuffy. The room looks onto the street which is very very noisy, coupled with the paper thin walls and staff banging about first thing, and fire alarm going off at 5am for a few seconds, we hadly slept. Bed is small, shower head needed a scrub and wouldnt stay on an angle, the place needs an update. First day breakfast was probably the worst I had encountered in my travels, over cooked hard bacon, dense sausage, sparse very pale watery eggs and cheap tasting ingredients. Nothing but packets for cereals and certainly nothing worth going back for the next day. However as we had trouble as the later desk clerk (lady) was stressing on the 2nd night as we hadnt prebooked our breakfast slot we were made to feel like bad children and threatened with no meal at all despite paying over £200 a night. We convinced her to book us in but she made us feel crap. Second breakfast was marginally better but they messed up the order. We wouldnt return.

Wife and sister in law stayed for 2 nights. Glowing praise for the staff and room which had an additional seating area. Iced water on arrival was very much appreciated on such a hot day. Breakfast was a little disappointing but everything else was top notch.

Having stayed at the Rupert on several occasions over the past ten years or so we were looking forward to staying there again. I Can assue potential clients that if anything the standards at the Hotel fulfilled our expectations on every metric !! Naturally the Prince Ruperts location in the heart of the Town gives it huge advantages for those wanting to be right at the heart of things , But even more the standards are still impressive to say the least !!

Superb location, no need for a car, stroll to the river and all the amenities Shrewsbury has to offer. A grand old building with all the splendour of a bygone era. The antidote to the modern chains of rabbit hutches. A large foyer with a relaxed vibe. a grand hall of a restaurant with comfortable seating. Suits of Armour round off the interior decor. Staff are all friendly and helpful.
