The hotel is very conveniently situated near the town centre and is close to the some parkland and the river Severn. The hotel staff were very welcoming and friendly. The set breakfast was altered on request and was tasty and filling. It was good to find a hotel that still has black pudding among its standard breakfast options! The bed... More

a group of us stayed here when on busniess for two nights. The gentleman who checked us in was very welcoming. The overall decoration of the building is dated- bold floral carpets and lots of frilly cushions. My room was comfitable although my shower never got warmer than a lukewarm. Other coleagues commented their showers suddenly went hot/cold. The walls... More

Stayed for one night prior to catching the Heart of Wales Train to Swansea the following day. Our room was clean and comfortable and the hotel is conveniently located for walking to the town centre or along the river side. We needed an early start the following day and an excellent cooked breakfast was served quickly and without fuss.

Not quite what we were expecting, but it served a purpose. The hotel is a little tired but its clean and that's always the most important factor. The breakfast was outstanding, and I suppose for 58 quid, I'm maybe being over-critical.

I stayed at the Abbots Mead on a Thursday night for business. The location was ideal for my evening as I was out and about in the Town Centre and everything was within walking distance. However, the reception and bar area is very dated, as was the room that I stayed in. The room was also very small. On the... More

We booked one night at this hotel as looking on the internet it seemed to be in the right position for exploring Shrewsbury, must admit as it was only a two star our expectations weren't very high. We were pleasantly surprised all round. Great location, we didn't have to drive through the middle of the town to reach it, which... More

Stayed here for two nights. The staff were welcoming and the service good, as was the breakfast. Unfortunately the room was very small and the bed not particularly comfortable - very hard and creaky. Like other reviewers, I felt the room was in need of updating. The best thing about this hotel is the location - perfect for the Shrewsbury... More

Booked this hotel based on other reviews and was disappointed. Stayed one night and that was enough, the room was at the front of the hotel and constant noise until at least 2am due to the pub next door and an indian restaurant across the road, also other guests of the hotel coming in and banging doors. Not the hotels... More
