Staff (Sam) welcoming, helpful, and informative. Only one coffee each in the bedroom was disappointing. Room was large and spacious unfortunately the tv was a little too small for the space. Didn’t eat at the hotel and didn’t see any options however great location for pubs and restaurants.

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.
Joanne, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

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.
Sarah, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
margaret, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Zoe, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Always enjoy our stays
