A large group of us used the Prince Rupert Hotel as our base for a weekend of activities in the Shrewsbury area. Approximately 60 of us stayed at the hotel, while another 40 or so joined us for meals and other activities. Our group (West Midlands Mensa) arrange a weekend of this nature most years, and this has to be... more

The Prince Rupert is an Independent family owned Hotel in a superb location in the heart of Shrewsbury. It is somewhat old-fashioned and this is both beneficial and detrimental to the customer experience. A benefit is a delightful "Heritage" experience in a genuinely old timbered building full of odd corners, dark wood and sloping floors. Squeezed into the fabric of... more

I am a year late writing my review, so I hope it is still useful for future travellers. I stayed in Shrewsbury for two days / three nights for a research trip to the Shropshire archives. Shrewsbury itself is a wonderful town and everything is central, including this hotel. I chose the Prince Rupert for two reasons: its history and... more

First impressions, from the outside at least, are good. Nice old building, well situated in the town. Once inside, lobby decorations were dated and a bit worse for ware. The receptionist was polite and informed us that our reservations were for the 6th and 7th of June rather than July, this was sorted out with a minimum of fuss. When... more

When i was a schoolboy in Shrewsbury the Prince Rupert was the place to go for a slap up meal with ones parents and a classy hotel for ones parents. Oh dear the years have not been kind to the Rupert and i somehow doubt if 25 years on the boys of Shrewsbury school head there for a real treat.... more

Expensive & worn out hotel in need of a major refurb. We stayed a few years ago when it was a bit tired but ok - this last visit was a real disappointment with a very sub standard suite, a shower that only managed to drip & a very odd smell! The hotel has bucket loads of potential but is... more

Over the years we have stayed several times at the Prince Rupert when visiting Shrewsbury for both business and pleasure. I have always found it to be an excellant hotel with extreemly friendly service from all of the staff. I especially like the fact that the hotel has a choice of restaurants, and the free valet parking is to be... more

The Prince Rupert is in a super location in the middle of Shrewsbury. The room I was allocated was dirty, the ceiling cracked with what looked like water ingress from above. The shower didn't work, although if you turned it to cold, it transpired, it did eventually get hot. There were holes in the walls. A new room was allocated... more
