This fantastic hotel is a real gem, situated in the heart of lovely Shrewsbury and would make a great base for explorers enjoying all the local amenities. The Lion Hotel reflects the environment; quirky, an architectural gem filled with ancient and beautiful furniture pieces, an historic idiosyncrasy still resplendent in faded charm. Not for the fussy or fastidious traveller. This would be for Hogwarts lovers and those seeking individuality. Fabulous comfortable half-poster bed and luxurious bathroom with masses of piping hot water. No breakfast available, but super delicatessens within a minute's walk gets you up and out too! Very reasonable parking fee and dogs welcome. We will come back as often as we are able.

We had a fantastic stay at The Lion Hotel. From check in to when we departed all staff were welcoming & friendly. Room was great-clean and bed was so comfortable. Ideally situated & perfect for us for where we like to eat. We will definitely be returning and recommending to our friends and family. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The room was clean and the location is central. There is no breakfast provided since May which was disappointing. The room was tired and old decoration.

Liked the history of the hotel, but the room we were in was poor, the carpet was worn the curtains had been cut to make them shorter and had not been stitched just left with a raw edge that was fraying. Disappointed in our room would go to shrewsbury again but not the Lion hotel.

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.

Carpets were worn and torn in places The whole interior is in need of brightening up and refurbishing. I paid and booked for bed and breakfast but was told they have not done food since April. Actually I was quite pleased as I dread to think about the state of the kitchens !
