Reception, location, decor, parking, breakfast room, menu and service; excellent. The single bedroom is poor. Space restricted, noisy street location, lack of ventilation, no additional pillow to better comfort the guests. Too many assumptions made.

Great staff and excellent breakfast (with some of the best bacon I have ever had). The location is great and there is paid parking very close (£1:20 an hour) but only pay 08:00-18:00 otherwise free

Lots of healthy or hearty options for breakfast .staff wonderful. Gardens were lovely if only it was summer. Paying car park next to hotel. Plenty of dining places. Rooms were stylish. Definitely a womans touch and thought had gone into the rooms

We loved the styling of the hotel and the room we stayed in was comfortable. Breakfast also great. My only reason for a 4 star over a 5 star was the noise from the street did carry up so I had to wear ear plugs to sleep. Bit noisy inside too when people were coming back in on the evening too. Other than this, we found staff very friendly and loved the theme.

Breakfast is always outstanding and we had another lovely stay. Thank you!

The hotel has a lot of good features and the Darwin theme is well represented. Choice at breakfast was great and service was quick and efficient. My wife has difficulty with stairs and would have appreciated a rail alongside the steps to the front door. Our room (7) was a bit noisy in the late evening. I found the loo lid poked me in the back when sitting on the loo. My sife found the loo hard to flush. But overall we enjoyed the location and the service.

Easy to get to and convenient for pubs and restaurants

We had a lovely stay at Darwin's Townhouse. The room and lounge areas were very comfy and clean and the staff were brilliant.

2nd visit to this beautiful boutique hotel. Loved the rooms,food & beautiful gardens with plenty of tables & seating areas. Staff very helpful & friendly. Car park close by you do have to pay however we downloaded app and where able to top up following morning. Very central to everything you need bars restaurants shopping and great walks near by. Would highly recommend

Great location. Lovely decor. The staff were very friendly. The WiFi wasn’t great, which also affected the use of some TV channels. The room was lovely however the sound proofing wasn’t great, could hear the people in the room above from the early hours.

A wonderful hotel right in the heart of Shrewsbury. The recommended car park is less than a minute's walk. The hotel is really tastefully themed with lovely homely touches. The breakfast and honesty bar were a highlight!

Darwins townhouse is a lovely place to stay. We loved all the quirky references to 'the origin of species'. Our room was small but perfectly adequate gor our one night stay. Breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly and attentive. We were on the front of the building which meant there was a lot of noise from people until quite late, we had the window open because we stayed on the hottest day of the year! Although, a fan was provided to try to help cool the room it was still extremely warm in the room. Overall we loved staying here and will be back at some point.

Spotlessly clean, unique property in the centre, near the river and all amenities with lots if extras

Great stay at Darwin Townhouse. We stayed in one of the garden rooms which was lovely. It had all the amenities needed eg hair dryer, iron, kettle etc. crisp clean sheets and comfy bed. The garden was lovely with seating areas for the nice weather. We bought a bottle of wine from the nearby wine shop and sat on in the garden one night. The breakfast was lovely and plentiful, as was the food at the Loopy Shrew (discounted if you stay in their property). Staff were lovey. The building is just a minutes walk away from one of the main streets but far enough away for a peaceful stay. Would recommend a stay here and would love to bring the family back here to visit the lovely town of Shrewsbury.

The staff at reception and breakfast were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good, too. Location is convenient. Our only wish would be that the room was a little bit larger. It was clean with good amenities: just a little cramped for two people and luggage. It’s a nice place to stay in Shrewsbury.

Excellent stay can't fault it

My second time in the Darwin Town House and location wise it's great. I am a huge fan of Shrewsbury and visit often. This quirky hotel is a slice of history and homage to CD himself. The room was pretty small, cosy so would not ideally want to stay in this room again but there are others which are not in the main building which would I would request. The honesty bar is cute and the staff are super. Totally recommend the breakfast, made to order and super location to start the day in the garden room.

Everything about darwins townhouse was superb. Rooms lovely, sevice lovely, especially from the young girl serving us at breakfast (blonde ponytail) sorry, didnt get her name. The honesty bar is also a lovely touch. Thankyou, we will be booking again.

Love this place! Definitely going to return

Stayed in a single first floor garden room for one night. I have stayed here before and the rooms are always clean and well stocked with coffee bags and tea, and the bathroom toiletries are lovely. The garden rooms are quiet as they are at the rear of the property, so once you’re in your room you should get a reasonable nights sleep. Room 18 has French windows so you can open them and relax in your armchair with a book and cup of tea. Breakfast is good and there’s a lot of choice whether you’re vegan, vegetarian or omnivorous. I would heartily recommend Darwin’s if you’re planning on staying in Shrewsbury.
