The good points of this hotel are worth re-stating: parking is really useful, the owner is friendly and helpful and runs the hotel well, breakfast is good and served efficiently, location is central and very handy. Otherwise things aren't so great. Our room was very tired, with nasty woodchip decor and old furniture. Cobwebs and a general feel of hard... more

Shrewsbury is such a nice place that it would be hard for a hotel to ruin the fun. The Abbot's Mead is a nice brick building and very central. The rooms were comfy and basic but at those prices it's what you'd expect. Breakfast was in a spcious room overlooking the garden - lovely. We were three adults and two... more

Stayed for one night due to attending a meeting, when our colleagues had forgotten to book us rooms at the Prince Rupert. This hotel was probably more convenient in terms of nipping in to the office the following day, and was certainly clean and comfortable enough to meet our requirements. I do think that the prices are a little high... more

This Hotel was a Family run hotel with very helpful and friendly staff. Great location in the center of shrewsbury with free parking and free wifi. Breakfast was exellent, freshly cooked and a great selection. No evening meals are served but so many great restaurants close by. Room was spotless and comfortable, a great place to stay to explore this... more

Unfriendly staff, not particularly helpful, especially considering the fact we had booked pretty much the whole hotel. The price was not cheap in comparison to others in the local area which are of a higher standard. more

At first sight it is rather shabby, but the room was comfortable and it is very well located for the town centre. I didn't like the idea of having to leave my car keys at reception when I went out, but at least the parking was free and there was enough for everyone - and of course it means that... more

Only good point is free parking close to centre. Well past it's sell buy date in all aspects. Breakfast was poor quality, not properly cooked. Reported to AA. more

The fact this hotel has parking and is centrally located are both great bounses. The rest of the stay in this hotel was a great disappointment. I booked a 'delux double', I couldn't honestly see what I was paying the extra money for comparted to a normal double. It was like staying at a very basic B & B. The... more

I recently spent 5 nights here with a traveling companion. I booked based on reviews found on this site. I was very well satisfied. While not located in the middle of the town, it is a very short walk to the center. The hotel was very quiet in spite of a pub adjacent and an Indian Restaurant across the street.... more
