Most guests find rooms and bathrooms clean and beds comfortable, though a few reported hot rooms, restricted head height, or dated fittings. The town centre setting is convenient for walking, though there is no on site parking and nearby options can be limited or costly. Expect a pub-with-rooms stay suited to social weekends and city exploring.

Nice hotel in a very central area! Parking is a bit tricky since there are no real public car parks within short walking distance (for more than two hours). We stayed there at a Friday night - which is also party night. Our room was located directly above the party zone - and we really felt the beats upstairs. However, as promised all stopped at midnight. For us, this was completely fine and we did not feel disturbed - however, I think, one should know upfront (just in case one is more sensitive or looking for a quiet night). Food in the restaurant was very good, service impeccable! We fully liked there and will be back for sure!

Very nice hotel comfy and clean staff were accommodating the breakfast in the morning was very good. One thing I’d note is use the ear plugs left on the glass jar next to the bed, the high street can get busy in the early hours.

Had one night in a single on B&B basis while visiting family for a night out. Building is a pub in an old building with the upper rooms converted to accommodation. Although the room was small it was a masterpiece of how to use space and did. Not feel cramped in any way. The room was spotless and the bed comfortable. With the property being on a main thoroughfare and a very busy pub a nice touch was the provision of earplugs. Breakfast was served in a restaurant area at the back of the pub. Unlike most hotel breakfasts you choose from a menu and it’s cooked fresh for you and was top quality. Staff were lovely, but a note of caution for nervous types there are no staff on site overnight, but a telephone number is provided in case of emergency. There is no onsite parking, but a public car park is available across the road. I travelled by train and the station is 10 minutes walk.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, staff excellent, room very clean. Great location and although no parking on site, there was cheap long stay parking nearby. Its an old building, so one must allow for that. As its a bar/restaurant the music was loud till midnight but that did not bother us. Cocktails were great and reasonably priced.

Room was clean and tidy but tired and very small (Wyle Cop). Difficult to get round the bed when trying to get dressed. Bed was comfortable though. Breakfast was excellent as was the service and the Loopy Shrew bar in the evening. DJ is on until way after midnight so pointless going to bed on first floor until after this. Bar and restaurant staff were really hardworking and professional. We would stay again but only if we could get a room on the second floor or higher…noise was too much.

Nice clean room with a good selection of tea and coffee, miniature toiletries in the bathroom and a comfy bed. Lovely breakfast with good options for vegetarian and vegan diets. It is a bar with rooms above so just be aware that especially if staying fri or sat night it is going to be noisy. (They do provide complimentary ear plugs!)

This is a lovely hotel! The restaurant has excellent food along with great atmosphere. Our room was great & the bed was very comfortable. The only regret we had was the fact we had to check out early the next morning & couldn’t stay longer. We will definitely be back!

We would definitely stay at the Loopy Shrew again. Great value for money. Our room and bathroom were very clean, quiet and comfortable. We heard nothing from the pub below. The location is great, with very short walks to beautiful areas of town. There was a lovely array of breakfast choices included for free with the room charge; we had vegetarian eggs Benedict, coffee/tea & juice. Our main suggestion is to provide a standing fan on warmer evenings. Also, the comfy duvet was just too hot so a plain sheet would have been great.

The bedding smelt musty / greasy. Noisy music from the bar below the room was very disruptive. Noise from other residents was disruptive. Bathroom tiling around bath shower was badly maintained / dirty. Bathroom door had dropped and was badly scraping on the floor. Communal areas / stairs are very scruffy. Coffee at breakfast was undrinkable.

This was intended as a special birthday weekend. Nowhere on the hotels website did it mention rooms with restricted head height but that's what we were given. I have a 6'2" husband and they gave us a 5' sloping bathroom ceiling. I asked for a different room but there were no others available. I understand that if there are no other rooms they can't move us so I didn't think it unreasonable to ask for a discount. Apparently that was not an option and we were offered a bottle of wine as compensation. However, that didn't materialise either. It's a very 'lively' establishment and there were some very disappointing aspects to out stay but the breakfasts were very tasty.

A wonderful place to stay and for exploring Shrewsbury. The staff are fantastic, couldn't do enough for us. They even changed room when we mentioned our lovely room at the front being noisy( it's an old listed building with single glazing). Our new room was equally as nice just off the side street! They even made us breakfast sandwiches as we were leaving early on our last day before the 'breakfast' started!

We arrived and had to wait quite a while for someone to acknowledge us, once they did the young girl was very polite and we managed to book in early. The darwin room was smaller than expected but clean and generally nice. Breakfast was nice and they accommodated my request for a tailor made breakfast. The downside there are only bed side and a dressing table light which dont light the room hardly at all. The hot water tap in the bathroom sink is enough to scald you and the toilet had water running all night. The even worse bit was the bin wagon at 4 a.m which went up and down the street, followed by an early morning delivery at 5.30 a.m somewhere very close as the noise and banging was terrible. This meant we had no sleep 4 a.m I complained to management and was told i had come to a hotel in the town centre and should expect noise and had no other complaints ! This i know is not true as i have since looked further on trip advisor and seen several ! Whilst I acknowledge i am staying in a busy town centre and there will be noise i hadnt anticipated a bin wagon at that ridiculous time, this isnt the hotels fault but you should be made aware of this when booking as it will be a weekly occurance. So overall a disappointing stay.

This meant we had no sleep 4 a.m I complained to management and was told i had come to a hotel in the town centre and should expect noise and had no other complaints ! This i know is not true as i have since looked further on trip advisor and seen several ! Whilst I acknowledge i am staying in a busy town centre and there will be noise i hadnt anticipated a bin wagon at that ridiculous time, this isnt the hotels fault but you should be made aware of this when booking as it will be a weekly occurance. So overall a disappointing stay.

Last minute booking after a long day, and the staff was friendly and accommodating even as I arrived as the cafe/bar was exploding into action.

Nice hotel in a very central area! Parking is a bit tricky since there are no real public car parks within short walking distance (for more than two hours). We stayed there at a Friday night - which is also party night. Our room was located directly above the party zone - and we really felt the beats upstairs. However, as promised all stopped at midnight. For us, this was completely fine and we did not feel disturbed - however, I think, one should know upfront (just in case one is more sensitive or looking for a quiet night). Food in the restaurant was very good, service impeccable! We fully liked there and will be back for sure!

Had one night in a single on B&B basis while visiting family for a night out. Building is a pub in an old building with the upper rooms converted to accommodation. Although the room was small it was a masterpiece of how to use space and did. Not feel cramped in any way. The room was spotless and the bed comfortable. With the property being on a main thoroughfare and a very busy pub a nice touch was the provision of earplugs. Breakfast was served in a restaurant area at the back of the pub. Unlike most hotel breakfasts you choose from a menu and it’s cooked fresh for you and was top quality. Staff were lovely, but a note of caution for nervous types there are no staff on site overnight, but a telephone number is provided in case of emergency. There is no onsite parking, but a public car park is available across the road. I travelled by train and the station is 10 minutes walk.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, staff excellent, room very clean. Great location and although no parking on site, there was cheap long stay parking nearby. Its an old building, so one must allow for that. As its a bar/restaurant the music was loud till midnight but that did not bother us. Cocktails were great and reasonably priced.

Rooms described as Boutique, but I found nothing special about my room. The bathroom was small and claustrophobic. The inclusive breakfast was excellent. Parking is very expensive and the car park local to the hotel is a max 2 hour stay

Breakfast and the on-site restaurant receive strong praise for quality and cooked to order dishes. A few guests wanted more nutritious vegetarian or vegan choices.

We would definitely stay at the Loopy Shrew again. Great value for money. Our room and bathroom were very clean, quiet and comfortable. We heard nothing from the pub below. The location is great, with very short walks to beautiful areas of town. There was a lovely array of breakfast choices included for free with the room charge; we had vegetarian eggs Benedict, coffee/tea & juice. Our main suggestion is to provide a standing fan on warmer evenings. Also, the comfy duvet was just too hot so a plain sheet would have been great.

The Good: The rooms are decor are decent, the breakfast was pretty good and it's centrally located in Shrewsbury. The Not Good: The water out of the hand sink tap in the room was boiling hot on one side and freezing cold on the other. The coffee was bad. But the real issue was it's a busy pub in a busy part of the high street and there was music blasting until 12pm on Saturday night, then after that a constant stream of young clubbers screaming and shouting right outside the window, until about 5am. So we couldn't get any sleep at all. It was a joke really. Not entirely the establishments fault, but it should have been clearer when booking and the staff weren't very sympathetic.
