What has made this beautiful historic place so wonderful is the staff.They have made our stay so very enjoyable. They have gone above and beyond with the quality of service we received. We will be back and if you haven't been to the Prince Rupert Hotel , we highly recommend that you do if you want a first class experience.

A traditional hotel with great character which provided everything I needed for four nights stay, with the friendliest and most professional staff I have ever come across. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was of an excellent standard and the hotel was sited close to places of interest. I would love to return

Staff were excellent both at check in and any time of the day. Breakfast was very good and the lounge area was very comfortable. The hotel is in the middle of Shrewsbury so access to all areas is very easy . Good internet access and the bedroom comfortable with a bath as well. Evening meal the restaurant was also good. Would recommend this hotel.

This hotel is sort of country lodge chic, meets modern bathrooms. The customer service was great (even though they were sold out). A very central location so great for getting around, but obviously a bit noisy until the pubs close. I'd check the parking situation with them beforehand - I didn't and then ended up a bit away as I drove to the hotel and couldn't see it but there is a private carpark nearby.

Wouldnt return

Firstly I'll start by saying the building is really lovely and historic, good location, desk staff on entering polite and friendly, even offering a friendly free sherry, so first impresions were good, however it went downhill from there sadly. The room we had (103) the door handle needed replacing as it was wobbling around and didnt look secure, halls were very tired, paint marked, inside the room the walls cracked and marked and the windows had flowers growing through the cracks and weeds inside the room as they hardly opened so it was so stuffy. The room looks onto the street which is very very noisy, coupled with the paper thin walls and staff banging about first thing, and fire alarm going off at 5am for a few seconds, we hadly slept. Bed is small, shower head needed a scrub and wouldnt stay on an angle, the place needs an update. First day breakfast was probably the worst I had encountered in my travels, over cooked hard bacon, dense sausage, sparse very pale watery eggs and cheap tasting ingredients. Nothing but packets for cereals and certainly nothing worth going back for the next day. However as we had trouble as the later desk clerk (lady) was stressing on the 2nd night as we hadnt prebooked our breakfast slot we were made to feel like bad children and threatened with no meal at all despite paying over £200 a night. We convinced her to book us in but she made us feel crap. Second breakfast was marginally better but they messed up the order. We wouldnt return.

Wife and sister in law stayed for 2 nights. Glowing praise for the staff and room which had an additional seating area. Iced water on arrival was very much appreciated on such a hot day. Breakfast was a little disappointing but everything else was top notch.
