Hotels Near Shrewsbury Castle in Shrewsbury

Just back from a weekend stay at Anton Guest house! We had such an enjoyable stay. Came across Anton guest house through wanting to use a ‘buy a gift’ voucher. Upon confirmation of the booking, I received an email with detailed information on where to go in Shrewsbury as well as suggested restaurants we should book. Upon arrival, we were pleased to see that was a great location and about a 15 min walk into town. Breakfast was delicious! Louise is a great host, she makes fresh cakes almost daily to provide to her guests. There is also a fridge available for guests to use which is handy. Louise has thought of everything to enable her guests to have a fantastic stay. We will definitely be back.

I had a lovely welcome. Although I felt the disabled parking should having been in front of the hotel. My room was spacious, with great air conditioning. The bed was very comfy. There was a good but basic hospitality tray. The shower room was a fair size, with toiletries and large soft towels. The shower had a seat in it. The breakfast was extremely busy and I had to sit in the lounge area. There was a good selection of cereals and a few bits of fruit, tea, coffee and juice were plentiful. There were bread and pastries. The cooked was bacon, sausage, beans and scrambled eggs, all very tasty. All in all I had a great stay. The hotel is dog friendly, which is a bonus.

Awful nights sleep! People talking really loud outside reception early hours of the morning, weren’t told to be quiet at all by staff. Fire alarm went off firstly at 2:38am! No staff to be seen in evacuation point, other guests also wondering what’s going on. Fire door wedged open with fire extinguisher. Alarm went off for a second time; no reassurance from staff. Could smell paint fumes very strongly. Told this morning when complained to reception that the workers were decorating through the night and the fumes and dust set the alarms off.

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!

great location for visiting the museums of Ironbridge and in easy walking distance of the Ironbridge itself. Good car parking available. Overall a pleasant hotel to stop at with friendly and helpful staff. The food in the restaurant both for breakfast and evening meal was very enjoyable and well presented. The only issue we did have with our room ( 33 ) was the bed which was most uncomfortable past its best and should be replaced.
