Prince Rupert Hotel

Central. Amenities close by

The hotel is located in the middle of old Shrewsbury so is ideal for wandering around the town. However we arrived by car and the hotel car park is a short walk away. It is necessary to drop your bags off first and then park the car and walk back. Access to the front of the hotel is via narrow cobbled streets which can be confusing.

This is the fourth time at the Prince Rupert and it doesn't disappoint. A proper traditional hotel with lovely staff and offering a glass of sherry on arrival. Very good traditional breakfast, but a variety of healthy options available too. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, with an off-site parking area that can be completely full when you get there, so you need to find an alternative yourself. Other than that, the Prince Rupert is situated in the central area of Shrewsbury with all of the picturesque areas well within walking distance, and plenty of good restaurants to visit too. We will return.

This was our 4th visit at this hotel- chosen originally for being close to all amenities and being an older & “ quirkier “ property- this time was our wedding anniversary and believe me they pulled out all the stops We were allocated The King James Suite ( complete with 4 poster) and there were a huge bouquet of flowers, box of chocolates and a card waiting within A truly lovely gesture The room itself appears original but the bathroom was brand new - super walk in shower with two shower heads and a really nice corner bath Outstanding 👍 Breakfast is a combination of buffet style and service A nice touch was the haddock and poached egg. The full English had some really tasty bacon and a proper pork sausage. Excellent Check in and out was a breeze and all staff were really friendly and welcoming Would we come back again? Absolutely we would

Lovely staff, loved the hotel would reccommend .

Weather not too good at first but brightened up in the afternoon lovely old hotel beautiful features room was clean and comfortable

The room was spacious and comfortable. The staff that served breakfast were welcoming, attentive and looked after us very well. The reception staff were helpful and always around if we needed anything. I will definitely be booking in again.

I was greeted by Isabel, who was very friendly, knowledgeable of the hotel and area, could not do enough to help. The hotel is in a great area of Shrewsbury, plenty of shops, restaurants close by. The room was clean, with the necessary amenities. The walls are not soundproof as I could hear people in the next room, not loudly though. Breakfast has almost everything you would like to eat, from cold cereals, fruit, pastries, yogurt and cooked breakfast. The hotel has warmth, charm and character, something I appreciate. The staff are polite and helpful. I certainly would stay here again and again.

This very historical property is very old, atmospheric and querky. It's in a central position in Shrewsbury & has its own bar and restaurant. Lot's of pubs and restaurants available in Shrewsbury town centre. We stayed a friday night & the pub next door played loud music until closing time at 11pm so be aware if you have a room at the front. The breakfast was cooked to order and contential options were also available. Parking is available (£10 p/night) though the hotel is a 5 minute walk away

Breakfast was fantastic, perfect poached eggs. Room was clean and welcoming. Very friendly helpful staff. Fantastic location right in town. 1 minute to the high Street.

Particular mention and praise for the lovely staff. Could not fault them. Friendly and helpful

Only complaint was the shower was not very good, very slow, apart from that everything else was very good.

Check in, comfort,location food all good but hotel sadly falls short on apparent shortage of staff.Breakfast very good but disappointing restaurant menu,was expecting something more interesting than burger or fish and chips for dinner. Housekeeping leaves a lot to be desired. Room not serviced at all one day and only received a call after requesting tea bags at 3.30pm on another. Public rooms very tired and in need of decorating or at least deep cleaning of chairs and sofas.

Good breakfast

A very attractive, old Tudor style hotel. Great atmosphere. Absolutely charming, friendly and helpful staff. The room was smallish but adequate. Quiet and comfortable. bathroom clean. A good breakfast included. Hotel parking ( £10.00 per night) was quite a way from the hotel.

Very nice welcome and well cooked breakfast. Appreciate the design on the fabric of the cushions, curtains and bed protector . Great location The bath/ shower toggle doesn't function well though. Needs looking at.

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

Central location, friendly and efficient staff

A very old building. We maintained with many interesting features. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.
