The bar downstairs is fun, noisy & lively. The bedrooms right above are the same. So if you don’t want a DJ in your bedroom until midnight, stay elsewhere.
They provide ear plugs in the rooms, so draw your own conclusion.

The Good: The rooms are decor are decent, the breakfast was pretty good and it's centrally located in Shrewsbury.

The Not Good: The water out of the hand sink tap in the room was boiling hot on one side and freezing cold on the other. The coffee was bad. But the real issue was it's a busy pub in a busy part of the high street and there was music blasting until 12pm on Saturday night, then after that a constant stream of young clubbers screaming and shouting right outside the window, until about 5am. So we couldn't get any sleep at all. It was a joke really. Not entirely the establishments fault, but it should have been clearer when booking and the staff weren't very sympathetic.

Food was exceptional for both breakfast and dinner. The 10% discount for food and drink was appreciated. The place had a good vibe and the staff were very friendly. The only downside was in the room. The fixtures and fittings were very tired and in need of refurbishment. The old single glazed metal windows, that did not close properly, made the bathroom cold. There was no shelf space for toiletries near the basin and the towel rail was the other side of the room! I would recommend the hotel but would upgrade to a better room.

Stayed for two nights midweek. At first we wondered what we had come to as there was a urine smell at the bottom of the stairwell, but maybe this was pervading from outside as the door is not a well fitting one, because as we further ascended the smell went, and once in our room it was fine. Very clean. Comfy bed. Think there must be a problem with the plumbing though as the hot tap water wasn’t just hot it was scorching - very dangerous - and the cold tap ran warm, not cold. The shower was fine.

We often find there aren’t enough mirrors in holiday accommodation. This had plenty, however, the lighting was very poor so would suggest perhaps installing lights over a couple mirrors in order to make good use of them!

Others have complained about noise, but for our stay, it was quiet although there were a couple sets earblocks on the bedside table! Thankfully we didn’t need to use them!

Didn’t eat or drink here other than the included breakfast which was delicious both mornings. Compliments to the chefs.

Don’t know why this accommodation has been given AA 4*. It was fine but not really worth what we paid.

I stayed for two nights in the lovely Darwin room. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and cosy, with everything I needed (hair dryer, iron and ironing board, tea and coffee making facilities, fresh water, toiletries). Breakfast in the mornings was fantastic! Chosen from a menu and freshly made to order it was high quality and non greasy. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The Loopy Shrew is in the heart of charming Shrewsbury and just a short ten minute walk from the station so easily accessed from there and very easy to find. The staff were very pleasant and helpful throughout. There were lots of leaflets and information on things to do and places to see during your stay. A great base from which to explore the town and surrounding area. I highly recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, staff excellent, room very clean. Great location and although no parking on site, there was cheap long stay parking nearby.
Its an old building, so one must allow for that. As its a bar/restaurant the music was loud till midnight but that did not bother us.

Lovely B&B in town centre

Had one night in a single on B&B basis while visiting family for a night out.

Building is a pub in an old building with the upper rooms converted to accommodation. Although the room was small it was a masterpiece of how to use space and did. Not feel cramped in any way. The room was spotless and the bed comfortable. With the property being on a main thoroughfare and a very busy pub a nice touch was the provision of earplugs.

Breakfast was served in a restaurant area at the back of the pub. Unlike most hotel breakfasts you choose from a menu and it’s cooked fresh for you and was top quality.

Staff were lovely, but a note of caution for nervous types there are no staff on site overnight, but a telephone number is provided in case of emergency.

There is no onsite parking, but a public car park is available across the road. I travelled by train and the station is 10 minutes walk.

We would definitely stay at the Loopy Shrew again. Great value for money. Our room and bathroom were very clean, quiet and comfortable. We heard nothing from the pub below. The location is great, with very short walks to beautiful areas of town. There was a lovely array of breakfast choices included for free with the room charge; we had vegetarian eggs Benedict, coffee/tea & juice. Our main suggestion is to provide a standing fan on warmer evenings. Also, the comfy duvet was just too hot so a plain sheet would have been great.

Decent, but not a seamless

Decor is nice, location is good. Loopy Shrew is a full-on bar so if you want to get to sleep before midnight on a weekend, you might struggle here. Matress was very comfy, drains a bit smelly in the bathroom. Breakfast was good, but staff seemed a little rushed. Check out was confusing, due to an issue on their / Expedia's booking system they temporarily spooked us into thinking we hadn't paid, when we most definitely had. We got a great deal, so overall are happy... had it been full price - not sure we would have been.

Alot of noise very early on

We arrived and had to wait quite a while for someone to acknowledge us, once they did the young girl was very polite and we managed to book in early. The darwin room was smaller than expected but clean and generally nice. Breakfast was nice and they accommodated my request for a tailor made breakfast. The downside there are only bed side and a dressing table light which dont light the room hardly at all. The hot water tap in the bathroom sink is enough to scald you and the toilet had water running all night. The even worse bit was the bin wagon at 4 a.m which went up and down the street, followed by an early morning delivery at 5.30 a.m somewhere very close as the noise and banging was terrible. This meant we had no sleep 4 a.m I complained to management and was told i had come to a hotel in the town centre and should expect noise and had no other complaints ! This i know is not true as i have since looked further on trip advisor and seen several ! Whilst I acknowledge i am staying in a busy town centre and there will be noise i hadnt anticipated a bin wagon at that ridiculous time, this isnt the hotels fault but you should be made aware of this when booking as it will be a weekly occurance. So overall a disappointing stay.

Not what the reviews implied

Really not what I was expecting.

It started off poorly when the bouncers tried to stop me getting into the loopy shrew because I had a bag, once I was finally in it was so loud with music that it took 10 minutes for them to get to me.


The room itself was nice enough on the face of it, but the music was so loud until about 1am.

The toilet was near impossible to flush, taking 10 or so attempts each time, as well as the seat being damaged. You also had to duck super low in order to actually get to it in the first place.

The blind in the bathroom wouldn’t go down, and the window to the Main Street was directly opposite shower so I couldn’t even take a shower without flashing the world.

Lastly, a fire alarm went off around midnight, we got out and waited but no one bothered to tell us what was going on or apologise.

Mixed bag but lots of positives.

Room was clean and tidy but tired and very small (Wyle Cop). Difficult to get round the bed when trying to get dressed. Bed was comfortable though.
Breakfast was excellent as was the service and the Loopy Shrew bar in the evening. DJ is on until way after midnight so pointless going to bed on first floor until after this.
Bar and restaurant staff were really hardworking and professional. We would stay again but only if we could get a room on the second floor or higher…noise was too much.

This was intended as a special birthday weekend. Nowhere on the hotels website did it mention rooms with restricted head height but that's what we were given. I have a 6'2\" husband and they gave us a 5' sloping bathroom ceiling. I asked for a different room but there were no others available. I understand that if there are no other rooms they can't move us so I didn't think it unreasonable to ask for a discount. Apparently that was not an option and we were offered a bottle of wine as compensation. However, that didn't materialise either.
It's a very 'lively' establishment and there were some very disappointing aspects to out stay but the breakfasts were very tasty.

Great location, very friendly staff, nice place. Room (104) was very hot at night, despite window open and fan on. Bed was too soft for our taste. Cold tap very noisy at times when turned on. Great breakfast choices. Overall, it was a great place to stay

An ok hotel

The website looks great but in reality the rooms are not great state, very old, tatty wallpaper, cracks in bathroom, creeks floor boards.

I only stayed a night so glad not longer.

Food was great, service was very slow, pleasant server but waiting a very long time to be seen and served

Holiday in Shrewsbury

The stay was excellent with friendly and helpful staff.
Amazing food and the breakfast was second to none.
The rooms were clean with good water pressure for showering.
Some rooms were small but that’s just picking holes

Short stay

The location, food and service were all good however the accommodation and room were dated and in need of refurbishment also there is excessive noise transfer from the bar into the room which at times made it hard to relax.

A lovely hotel

Staff was great. Helpful, efficient and nice. But with this price, I would expect the hotel room etc. better. It is an old building renovated, but still an old building if u know what i mean. Shower water pressure is very good, a plus vs many other hotels. Food at The Loopy Shrews was great and I just stayed in from dinner to breakfast to mid morning snacks before checking out. Convenient location. I will stay again if the price is right for me next time.
