Reviews of The Albert Hotel describe a central, budget-friendly stay with very friendly staff, tasty breakfasts and a handy location near the train station, though some guests note street and bar noise and small or dated rooms.
Housekeeping is generally strong, though a few guests reported stained carpets, mould, or overlooked items. The on-site pub/restaurant and bar are appreciated, while parking is off site in nearby facilities and, at times, the venue or breakfast service has not been available as early as some expected. Best for travellers who prioritise value and location over luxury and guaranteed quiet.

Great position in Central Shrewsbury, parking was across the road, Staff was amazing and the breakfast in the morning was lovely but the carpet had quite a few stains and there were lots of light bulbs that were not working, but apart from that i would stay there again.

Really enjoyed stay here , our room was small but beds were comfortable. A lovely home cooked breakfast with a good choice . Pizza was lovely too in the evening. Friendly helpful staff . I particularly liked the fact that there was refillable soap and body wash in the bathroom instead of the wasteful miniature plastic bottles used in so many hotels . Handy location for everything in Shrewsbury Would happily stay here again.

Staff amazing but twice I've stayed in the bottom floor room next to the beer garden and it's noisy in the evening and can hear the bar chucking glass in the bins. Not to mention anyone in the beer garden can see into the room if curtains are not shut. TV didn't work at all.

Check in was with bar staff. Front desk person not around. Breakfast was promised 0730-0930 but at 0745, the restaurant was still locked with a note telling late check ins to call a number. I couldn’t wait any longer to see if breakfast was indeed served as I had a train to catch. The train station is very convenient to this hotel.

My brother & I decided to stay a 2nd night in Shrewsbury at short notice having stayed in the Premier Inn 200 yards down the road on the Thursday night. Premier Inn wanted £133 for the Friday night stay. Found The Alb on hotels.com which was half the price with added bonus with breakfast included. It was a budget twin room which perfectly suited our needs. Room was lovely & really warm ( unlike Premier Inn where i slept fully clothed under the duvet as the room was so cold ). Loads of tea & coffee sachets for our use. Room also had a mini fridge which was a nice surprise. Room was nice & clean. I had a full english breakfast which was superb. I would definitely check this place 1st next time we visit Shrewsbury. I would recommend it based on my experience.

Stayed here before Shrewsbury half marathon. Initially quite noisy but settled down by the time we were trying to sleep and overall was pretty comfortable. Unfortunately breakfast doesn't start until 9 on the weekend which was too late for us to have before the half which was disappointing. Would be nice to have an earlier option if possible even if it's just a continental option.

Stayed here before Shrewsbury half marathon. Initially quite noisy but settled down by the time we were trying to sleep and overall was pretty comfortable. Unfortunately breakfast doesn't start until 9 on the weekend which was too late for us to have before the half which was disappointing. Would be nice to have an earlier option if possible even if it's just a continental option.

Check in was with bar staff. Front desk person not around. Breakfast was promised 0730-0930 but at 0745, the restaurant was still locked with a note telling late check ins to call a number. I couldn’t wait any longer to see if breakfast was indeed served as I had a train to catch. The train station is very convenient to this hotel.

This was not good - I think the highlight was going out for a meal! - I wasn't told before hand that the pub and restaurant was closed - Also an old pair of stockings in the room - See pic - Not sure how you can charge me for this.

One might expect that all towels from the previous occupant would have been removed. The flea bites were available at no extra charge

Check-in had to be a phone call and then a wait for 20 minutes outside to get the key and check. We were on a ground floor room and the main door alarm went off 4 or 5 times through the night, early hours and morning. Room was well soundproofed from outside traffic, room facilities were fine - including fan to help cooling (a minor issue with shower water feed leaking but did not prevent use).
