The Bull Inn

Great place to stay right in the centre of Shrewsbury off site parking at the NCP easy to get to and £8 for 24 hours comfy bed great atmosphere

Very loud music downstairs on Friday and Saturday night.

Great location, right in the centre of the historic part of town. Beautiful narrow cobble lanes surrounding the hotel. Parking close to the property can be tricky but if you don't mind walking a bit, there is free on-street parking in the surrounding neighbourhoods. Good for a very short stay but I wouldn't recommend anything more. Downstairs entrance area is welcoming but once you walk past the door to the bedrooms, it feels a bit unkept and unloved. The carpets have seen better days, the walls are empty and overall it could use a bit more care. The bedrooms are adequate but cleaning needs to be stepped up. There was quite a bit of dust (ie behind bed), fittings need updating (rusty and bent towel rail in bathroom) and no light-blocking curtains on the windows. Be aware there is live music on Friday night, which carries on until 23:00 and then you can hear music from adjacent venues and from the street, so if you are a light sleeper, this may not be the place for you. The bed was comfortable. The afternoon/ evening staff that checked us in didn't seem very confident with their tasks but the young gentleman at breakfast was very polite and friendly. Breakfast was good and served promptly. Overall an ok overnight stay, convenient location close to the centre but not sure I would recommend.

Nowhere to park. Best suggestion from the pub was NCP car park, over 10 minutes walk away. I did not stay. I will try to get a refund.

Great hotel in Shrewsbury. Close to all bars and restaurants. Just be aware there is live music most weekends so fairly noisy - didnt bother us as we were out for the evening.

I did not like the fact that there was no parking, and I had to go round looking for places to park which I had to pay as well. Free parking in some areas starts at 6pm, checking in was 2pm. Carrying bags from parking areas to the booked place was difficult, its uphill and it was raining, so it was a bit of a challenge for me. There was a lot of noise from the pub which come straight to the bedrooms, to an extent that I could hardly hear my TV. There was life music in the Pub, so I could not sleep until 11pm, when the pub was closed. I was very disappointed with that.

This is a beautiful building, fabulous location in historic Shrewsbury. The rooms are fine, nothing special but not awful - bit tired, carpets were stained and windows filthy but comfy bed, The private bathroom was tiny and had mold on the shower frame and tiles. It's only a 5 minute walk from the NCP car park which is a good value £7.95 for 24 hours if you pay by the app so don't let the lack of parking facilities put you off. We stayed on a Saturday night and the live music from the Bull and neighbouring places was LOUD! Went on till gone midnight but then it was fairly quiet and nice to have no traffic noise. Breakfast looked great but we had the full English and you could taste the ingredients were cheap, sausages went straight to the dog! So, mixed bag but good value overall.

Bull inn is clean busy at night no parking here use the various paid parking. Most buildings here are Tudor. Great time had for Xmas weekend. If eating out Book evening meals. Shrewsbury lovely place.

Excellent location in the historic centre of town with lots of bars, restaurants and shops nearby. The live band playing was great! However, very load so may not be appreciated by all guests as easily heard in the bedrooms. This was not a problem for us though.

Shrewsbury is a great place for a short break, full of historic and architectural interest and numerous good places to eat. The Bill Inn is in a great location - just step out of the door and your in the middle of a well-preserved Tudor street. But no insight parking is a pain - nearest overnight parking is at NCP, a five/ten minute walk away, although the car can be brought up to the door to drop off luggage etc. And steep, awkward stairs to accommodation, so beware. Staff - superb: friendly, relaxed, helpful, nothing too much trouble, which makes up for a lot.

Its a nice traditional Inn in a lovely old building. Bar is nice with a decent outside area. Staff are friendly and helpful. Only had breakfast once but was very nice. There is music from the bar some evenings but went off at a reasonable time. Cleanliness of bathroom could of been better.

Very noisey outside. Entrance to the accomadation dirty and un kept. Paint tins in corridor not good. Room was clean

Basic accommodation but certainly clean, comfortable and an excellent night’s sleep. Staff are extremely friendly and very helpful. Breakfasts are really good. And it’s brilliant just to be able to tumble into bed above the bar where you’ve been enjoying live music. Great value for money (and we are repeat visitors !)

Staff were great, friendly and very pleasant, room was nicely decorated just a bit tired. Bathroom smelt of mould, shower curtain was mouldly and the shower wasnt great the head kept falling down. Overall nice place just a bit tired.

The hotel had had a bit of a make over I think, some redecorating. The room was clean and adequate.

im sorry to say this but it was a disappointing stay. Firstly partly my fault for not reading properly but the car park was a 15 min walk away and my bathroom was across the hallway. The Bed was extremely comfortable but the room was dirty and the dust behind the Tv lookslike its never been cleaned. The decor was lovely but because the hotel is so old the sash windows dont shut and the draft was bad and the noise from the street was very loud. The highlight was the lady sorted me out some bacon sandwichs and a coffee at about 8am because breakfast didnt start till 8.30 . a bit late for professionals needing to get to work. when i arrived back from work i was looking forward to some nice hotel pub grub only to find no food after 4.30

The carpet needed hoovering under the bed and around the sides, con webs on the lamp, faulty lighting in the bedroom and the cleaner took my shoe bag from our room

Lovely staff, clean room amazing breakfast

Excellent service. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Room was well-appointed and the bed fairly comfortable. Bathroom could have been cleaner, but overall the room was ok from that respect.

The Bull Inn was in a great location and the room was nice. You need to be aware that there is loud live music on Saturday evening, which makes the room very noise.

The Staff were lovely and it's a lovely central location. The pub was nice and they had a great band playing live music which i enjoyed. If you're not into loud music this place is not for you. I could hear every word loudly in my room. (Single room 4 poster) my friends in the hotel next door could be them as well! It was a well presented room with us own shower room and toilet with good presentation. However there are no windows to the outside for fresh air just to a weird void that they've decorated with fake plants that looks into the hallway where other guests are walking and can see into the room so you have to close the curtains The air con machine in the room was broken and there was a rubbish tower fan in there which didn't really do anything apart from make noise. The room with us lack of window was also unsafe. If there was a fire outside the room you'd have to climb through the void window which seemed to be in a asking and didn't stay open and break another window just to get to the hallway. I woke up with a horrible headache and felt awful (not a hangover as i don't drink) because of how stuffy the room was. The air vent in the room wouldn't even open either. Please sort this out because it's really unpleasant and can't be safe having no ventilation in the room expecially with covid.

The property alone is tired, dated and the Bed are very uncomfortable. We book a room with Private toilet, but the toilet is locales outside our room. The Wifi is not possible in the room.

Nice easy check-in, room good size nice bathroom, only down was the mattress didnt get any sleep due to the springs sticking in my back all nighg.

Lovely stay but it felt like there were no windows in thr room as you could here everything going on outside.

After reading the reviews I was expecting better. Unfortunately the bed had a very uncomfortable mattress and we actually slept with the quilt under us to try to get comfortable, failed. The curtains were not blackout curtains so this meant at around 4:30 the room was quite bright. We slept in room 4 which unfortunately also had the kitchen extractor fan outlet outside and this was running all night which produced a constant drone in the room. It went through phases of noise levels. On the positive side of things, the shower was quite powerful considering we were at the top floor of the inn. There was also tea and coffee sachets along with a kettle and the breakfast was excellent. Not sure if I misunderstood the information but the barman told me there was no food that evening. As such we went out into Shrewsbury town instead of eating at the inn.

Great location, nice room, comfortable bed.

Helpful staff, wonderful location, large, comfortable bed in a spacious room. A constant buzzing might be addressed outside the room, and some natural light.

The rooms were small, clean and adequate. They were cleaned each day. The inn is centrally located and is a historic building in an old mews setting and a lively pub in the evening. The staff were friendly and helpful. If you want peace and quiet perhaps not the place for you. As mentioned it is centrally located so there is the noise from the fairly busy street and live music from the inn itself though it does end at 11pm on the dot. Summary: Value for money in a central position.

Maybe just our room but it had no windows so was very stuffy and felt a bit closed in. It had Aircon but could not find the remote for it anywhere. And half a toilet roll. Room was clean and bed comfy but the room was right above the bar and there was karaoke or singer on till 12.30 ish so not the best sleep I've had. Great central location though and decent price.

Kathryn was a great host

Very friendly and helpful staff. Right in the centre if town. Better if you come by train rather than car!

Sorry nice chap that met me at reception. Unfortunately for got his name. Really helpful. Great room. Great staff. Would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Basic accommodation but certainly clean, comfortable and an excellent night’s sleep. Staff are extremely friendly and very helpful. Breakfasts are really good. And it’s brilliant just to be able to tumble into bed above the bar where you’ve been enjoying live music. Great value for money (and we are repeat visitors !)

Everything about our stay was great until the Fire alarm went off at about 6:05 this morning everyone who was staying there made there way outside. There was No staff present my wife rang Three emergency numbers no one answered. Finally Laura rang back and said to my wife she would get a taxi to the pub. The alarm did stop but I found the whole incident poor to be honest and let our stay down.

Look after my bags after chek out until i was leaving the town.

Great central location, extremely friendly staff and definitely value for money. Would stay again

Nice en-suite room, big comfy bed, very nice breakfast in the morning. The person who checked me in was fast, helpful and friendly, zero hassle at all. Only thing to remember is there is no parking at this hotel but there are options nearby. Overall excellent and I would recommend.

Friendly staff and a Great breakfast!

Great central location easy walking distance into city center

The pub is verry central to all areas of the town

The location is such that parking is difficult. It is located in a pedestrian zone and we missed this ... We had to walk uphill with our cases which was extremely difficult. pARKING arrangements should be made more clear.

Pub is in the city centre.

Had a good stay at the Bull Inn. As we were attending the folk festival it was ideally located in the middle of Shrewsbury, a relatively short walk from the festival. The room was comfortable and we were able to park in the shopping centre over the road. It was a little noisy at night, but no more than you would expect in a town centre.

Enjoyed our stay very busy ate at night food was good. Breakfast excellent and superb quality ingredients

The stay was fine.Nice comfortable bed and good bedding and towels.Staff were very friendly.However when we got to the Bull Inn it was explained that due to maintenance there be no breakfast and we would be recompensed for this.We had booked and paid in advance for bed and breakfast.I have since contacted the hotel by email over this issue but have had no response.On the basis of this I would not recommend this accommodation and will not myself be returning

Always a lovely stay when we come here and a wonderful Breakfast too

The management and staff could not do enough for us they were lovely. Great food also Breakfast was top class and plenty full

Room was comfortable however the bathroom was opposite the room. This made going to the toilet in the night a little awkward. Didn’t use the shower as the shower head looked rusty. The breakfast was delicious and piping hot Cooked to perfection.

Great location and excellent breakfast. Very comfortable bed and quiet after the pub closed. The bathroom lacked ventilation and the tv reception was terrible but overall a good place.

Lovely staff, clean room amazing breakfast
