We arrived to be told the authorities decided to close certain roads in the town on a Saturday and Sunday after COVID until 4pm .The car park was a 3 minute walk away but getting to it by car proved difficult as the SAT nav wanted to take us along the closed roads .After much frustration we got there in the end .It's sign posted for use of guests of the lion hotel but you can parkin it if you are staying at the Prince Rupert. Having got that advice out of the way on to the Prince Rupert hotel. The ladies on the reception were wonderful.Pleasant ,warm welcoming and very helpful.The hotel had a good feeling about it and much bigger than we expected with a lounge bar and restaurant.Breakfast was included in the cost which was very nice and there was continental and cooked available.We had a twin room with a walk in shower as that was our choice.It was clean with everything you would need for the stay The hotel was in the middle of everything.What a beautiful place to visit . Quirky shops and an abundance of places to eat and have a drink.We ate at a Spanish restaurant and sat for 2 hours eating delicious tapas . I would definitely visit Shrewsbury again and certainly stay at the Prince Rupert.Next time we would be prepared for the parking!!!!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The fittings and decor are a bit dated but the bed was really comfortable and the linen and towels were lovely. I would suggest getting a room nearer the back of the hotel, we were on the front and it was rather noisy from the pub next door. Although the parking may seem a little complicated it's good value for being in the town and we extended the next morning at a better rate than if we had moved it. Really good location to explore the town and for walking the local area

Very friendly, but professional members of staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. We stayed in the Mansion House and we loved the history of the older part of the hotel. Wonky walls and sloping floors added to the unique experience. Would love to stay again. A huge thank you to everyone who made us feel so welcome. Merry Christmas 🎄

The building has great character that you do not find in modern hotels. Reception staff excellent in particular the gentleman who checked me in on Tuesday 3rd December. One star deducted for staff and service as my room has not been serviced by my return at 3 p.m. on Thursday 5th December.

Lovely nights stay. Thank you.
We had a lovely stay. They realised we had a small child they immediately swapped the room for a quieter one. Breakfast was lovely with a mix of continental and cooked breakfast in the medieval hall. They'd even decorated the suits of armor for Christmas.
