I stayed at the Abbots Mead hotel for a business trip in October 2009. The hotel was incredibly noisy. I had a room facing the street and you could hear every Tom, Dick, and Harry who walked by, as well as the rubbish collection at 6 AM. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable--every time you rolled over you'd get a spring... more

We have stayed at this hotel quite a few times and it is ideal if you are staying for a short break as it is located very close to the town centre with free parking and it is also two minutes away from the river Severn where you can have a lovely stroll along the river bank. The owners are... more

Check-in was pleasant and efficient by the man of the house. The hotel looked lovely from the outside, but was somewhat dated inside. Rooms basic, but clean. Mattress way too soft. Toiletries rather on the mean side, being little sachets that you would expect in a rather cheaper establishment. Breakfast was fine. But the killer was the noise - and... more

We took our dog which was accommodated easily and I think it tells it's own story that we didn't feel nervous about getting the carpet dirty or getting dog hairs on anything as the standard was average. There was woodchip on the walls and the bathroom was extremely small. Saying that, the bed was comfy and had a good night's... more

Even though i am staying on business, I would definately return to this very warm and friendley hotel for leisure. Perfectly located for the town centre, with free parking, a lip smacking breakfast and an excellent pint served. Cant wait to return to Shrewsbury. more

Immaculately clean, this family run hotel is welcoming and ideally situated close to the city centre. If arriving by car drive slowly or you will miss the access road and end up having to drive around the Shrewsbury one way system to get back again There is a small bar in the hotel and an outdoor sitting area looking over... more

The good points of this hotel are worth re-stating: parking is really useful, the owner is friendly and helpful and runs the hotel well, breakfast is good and served efficiently, location is central and very handy. Otherwise things aren't so great. Our room was very tired, with nasty woodchip decor and old furniture. Cobwebs and a general feel of hard... more

Shrewsbury is such a nice place that it would be hard for a hotel to ruin the fun. The Abbot's Mead is a nice brick building and very central. The rooms were comfy and basic but at those prices it's what you'd expect. Breakfast was in a spcious room overlooking the garden - lovely. We were three adults and two... more

Stayed for one night due to attending a meeting, when our colleagues had forgotten to book us rooms at the Prince Rupert. This hotel was probably more convenient in terms of nipping in to the office the following day, and was certainly clean and comfortable enough to meet our requirements. I do think that the prices are a little high... more
