St John's Hill Apartments
St John's Hill Apartments"We had a fantastic stay! The apartment was spacious, spotlessly clean, and in an excellent location. The kitchen and living area were both well-equipped and comfortable, making it a great place to relax. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area. One small suggestion for improvement: the laundry took quite a while to complete a cycle, so providing a few additional instructions for using the washer and dryer would be helpful for future guests."

Top Shrewsbury Hotel Reviews
Cromwell's Tap House
"Nice and clean room in historic building with modern bathroom (nice big shower). Well appointed, with bedside lights (one each side of the bed) and plenty of USB power sockets (A & C) both sides of the bed. Additional plug-in electric radiator provided, and tea/coffee/kettle with a couple of small packets of biscuits too. Very convenient for visiting Shrewsbury on foot, and not far from the railway station."
The Lion Hotel Shrewsbury
"We stayed for one night. It was a little warm in the room, but we discovered a fan in the cupboard. Generally a comfortable stay in a good location to get to a show at Theatre Severn. Plenty of restaurants nearby too. Parking was an essential and at ยฃ5 per night was reasonable. We hear the hotel is changing hands soon. I hope the standards are kept high."
Yak & Yeti Hotel
"Good location. Clean room. Reasonable price"
Holiday Inn Express Shrewsbury by IHG
"Great location for the traveler easy access to the A5 with plenty of parking"
Rowton Castle Hotel
"Free parking on site nice views and gardens around the castle the staff were very friendly great team work room was clean and tidy and dinner 35 and breakfast was very nice the only thin. g in my room was the gas cental wasn't working wall radiator wasn't working despite turning it on full at the value it was cold unless the staff have turned it off from the main boiler room due to cost to heat up a big castle throughout. ."
Hawkstone Park Hotel
"Amazing! Thank you"
Lion and Pheasant Hotel
"We had a lovely stay at the Lion and Pheasant room was clean and loved the touch of home made shortbread, plenty of choice for Breakfast loved the fresh fruit, Staff very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Ideal location for our stay in Shrewsbury"
Unique Shrewsbury Rooms
"Great place to stop , fantastic location, couldnโt fault it at all will definitely book again"
The Bull Inn
"We had a twin room, which was on the top floor. Although the bathroom was private, it was small and across the landing, which was a tad inconvenient in the middle of the night. The bedroom was noisy and very light, even with the curtains closed. We expected to hear noise from the pub underneath. However there was a lot of noise from the street below. The windows are single glazed and would definitely benefit from having secondary glazing"
