Hotels With Bar in Shropshire, United Kingdom

Decent location for one night stopover. Staff were friendly and efficient. Room pretty basic but all okay for what we paid. Downfall was the noise early morning, being woken to trucks beeping and reversing at 7am on a Sunday isn't my idea of a good night's sleep (which is all we really needed, this was the followed by trolleys clanking and banging, so think this is a real downfall to what should have been a nice little stopover. I advised the receptionist and she said it was the deliveries....which I understand are needed ....but not 7am on Sunday surely and if so some more thought for those sleeping. Sadly this affected my overall rating as really you pay to have a good sleep but I didn't get that.

The price is very high, and the hotel I set in front of, the world is different, the room is large, clean, bright, sanitary products look comfortable, the hotel is very characteristic, old-fashioned British architecture, more than 400 nights. Very worth booking.

The hotel was grim and extremely outdated and overpriced. We had so many issues. Upon check in we were given a room that had rubbish outside the front door including used sanitary items, the room was filled with dust, blood or other substances on the skirting boards, damaged head boards, cobwebs, stains on the carpet and sick smells. The hotel was fully booked however they did change our rooms - someone else who hadn’t checked in unfortunately got the rooms we were swapped out of. The next rooms were not much better, hair on the bed and on the chairs and our friends room smelled like the cleaners had just been to the toilet (they were in the room when they checked in and walked in), previous guests dirty beauty blender on the floor and cobwebs everywhere, dirty tea pots! We complained to reception 4 times. Each time we were told the room had been cleaned but that was not the case. 11pm that night and it still hadn’t been resolved but after a long day travelling we just needed to get some sleep. Complained the next morning and the rooms did not get cleaned until 6pm that evening. We were given a round of drinks at the bar, a bottle of champagne and wine in the room as an apology. We were also advised we would have 30% taken off our stay and to obtain the refund upon check out. The head house keeper cleaned the rooms at about 6pm and after that they finally felt as clean as they could be and smelled clean. Breakfast & Afternoon Tea we’re great, however we did have to wait for 15 mins to be seated each time - no one knew we were even waiting which I think is ridiculous seeing as a time was booked. None the less the food was good. They did however have lists of names and booking details at the front for anyone to view - no disregard to GDPR here whatsoever. Spa Day - spa was ok. Some of the areas in the thermal spa were not working so seemed pointless paying extra for that and the lunch provided was below average. My massage wasn’t great at all however my friend had the exact same massage and said hers was really good. Upon check out the following day we were told only 30% off the first night was going to be refunded and the amount entered into the card machine didn’t even equate to 30%! We eventually got to speak to a manager who eventually gave us the full 30% refund and said a phone call would be made on Tuesday to discuss the appalling service we received despite the extortionate price we paid for our stay…. No phone call of course! It seems excuse after excuse was made and it wasn’t acceptable and to have the room ready for check in as it should have been at 6pm the following night I would have expected a much higher refund offered as there was no point us even staying on the first night. We got a taxi into Chirk a few times and the taxi driver said so many of their clients complained in exactly the same way. I’m surprised this hotel is still operating and at full capacity. We definitely won’t be returning and won’t be recommending this

We stayed here for the evening for my birthday, and from start to finish the customer service was excellent. Everyone had a smile on their face, and could not do enough for us. The room was lovely and spacious, very comfy bed and pillows. Food was excellent, hot and tasty. There was so much choice at breakfast too. We also enjoyed the added bonus of the leisure facilities We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Great location just off the M54, easy to find and excellent free parking for guests. The hotel is modern and pleasant and the staff are really friendly and helpful. Our room was lovely with a king size bed, large tv, coffee machine and mini fridge, plenty of phone charging sockets and something I miss in a lot in hotels these days; a small dressing table area. The bathroom was spacious with a large walk in shower. We only stayed one night but wish it had been longer. The breakfast area was large and spacious with a great selection of cereals, pastries, fruit, yogurt, cheese and cold meets along with a wonderful selection for a cooked breakfast. I'm just sorry that we didn't have time to use the spa facilities which looked excellent. I can't recommend the hotel enough!

We stayed here after several years since we were last at the Holiday Inn Express. A lot of work has gone into upgrades and the rooms - always good - were even better with useful touches such as USB charging points by the bed, excellent shampoo and body wash in the bathroom, extremely comfortable beds and linen and very good TV with numerous channels. Breakfast was excellent and parking free. This will be our preferred hotel in Shrewsbury in the future.

The hotel staff were very friendly, but the quality of the room was dated. There was hair in my plug hole and the towels were dirty but only noticed once I had come out of the shower so had to use a hand towel instead! Only stayed one night as was at a conference but stayed here before and this was my second experience of being less than impressed. The corridor also smelt of smoke which was not very nice. Bed was ok, not the best nights sleep… I think next time I will stay somewhere else

My partner and I spent a great night at The Prince Rupert. Pros: it is a beautiful period building, in a fantastic location in central Shrewsbury. The room we had was pretty, with all necessary mod cons, with a very comfortable bed. Check in was easy and the breakfast, included in the booking price, was very good. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable and I would certainly recommend anyone reading to consider a stay. Cons: parking is a few minutes away from the hotel. There are lots of narrow roads up to the hotel and I would advise anyone at the hotel reading this to clarify exactly where the parking is to customers before booking. If this is widely available and I have missed it, then this is on me as a customer. The other thing is there were some darker, slightly dingy parts of the hotel when walking through to our room. Some of this will be due to the nature of the hotel being a period building, but if you are a customer looking for a light, bright, modern hotel, this is not the hotel for you. Please note my criticisms are nit-picks and nothing more. In summary: a very competitively priced hotel with a lovely interior/exterior, friendly staff and one I can definitely say is the kind of place you can take someone to impress them. Thank you for a great stay all of the Prince Rupert staff.

Having read some recent negative reviews I was not expecting much but from my scores it was first class. Good easy to get to place and just a short walk to the main town, we arrived early but were able to check in - very friendly reception staff and gave us all the information we needed. All areas from reception to bar and corridors were well presented and clean and modern look, the room on ground floor was a good size with all facilities required [ nice touch Steph the house keeper left a lovely note ] We had a window which opened and nice green space looking towards a park. very quiet room. Leisure facilities were first class and not over busy (you did have to book the pool but not an issue}. Service at the bar was quick and staff very friendly and attentive. Breakfast was very good with good selection of hot and cold food. One stand out point was the hotel was well staffed which helped make for a first class experience.

All liked it. Own parking. The hotel has a restaurant. The surroundings of the hotel are very beautiful.

Good standard large rooms

This is my second stay at the Mercure Albrighton Hall. I really enjoyed my stay, Staff were friendly and helpful and the room was clean. I'm slightly disappointed in comparison to my last stay though, last time we were in a privilege room which was gorgeous and unique. We had booked the privilege room as a birthday celebration, so wanted something extra special, however this time the privilege room was nothing special, just a slightly larger than average run of the mill hotel room. There was nothing wrong with the room itself, just not as nice as our previous stay. If I was to stay again, I wouldn't bother with the room upgrade - I'd just stick to a standard room. The only flaw I can point out is the door to the lakeside rooms. The security door that's opposite the lake was open the entire time we were there. The door did not lock when it closed over, which was a security concern - especially at night time. The leisure facilities are great, the pool is a touch cold but this isn't anything major. The sauna/steam room selection is brilliant and there's plenty of room. There are male/female changing facilities and they have private shower and change cubicles which is a big win for me. I didn't choose to book breakfast this time as the price seemed excessive, and I'm not a big breakfast eater. Instead I went to Battlefield 1403 'sparrows cafe' which was a 5 minute drive away and was absolutely lovely! Overall it was a great stay and I will stay here again!

A lovely one night stay at The Bull, The staff were very helpful and friendly, especially as I was travelling with my arm in a sling, even to the point of offering to cut my breakfast up so I could eat it 😂😂😂 this was very appreciated! In my room the shower cubicle needed a better clean as there were long hairs from where some one has washed their hair and the bedroom curtains needed blackout blinds in the actual window recesses to block out the street lights, and in the recess, as people could look up from the street and see behind the curtains. Signage or more visible prompts explaining where to go to check in would also be good ! All that having been said I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to others needing a short stay in the town.

We arrived a party of ten. The staff experience started at reception where we were made to feel so welcome . Nothing was too much trouble. We were very happy with our rooms. Although, due to traffic we arrived much later than we’d hoped to, after going to our rooms to freshen up, we were taken to our table. Again, nothing was too much trouble and we were able to choose for a good varied menu. If I have one criticism it is the website says games room but it is for the golfers use or so the children were told by the golfers! . Perhaps there could be a games room for children, with maybe table tennis and snooker table? However, there were grounds for them to run off energy. Breakfast was lovely and the staff were very attentive. I would definitely stay again.

Overall is average. If i have better options, i will try for sure but surely not many choices in this small town....
