Not a cheap place to stay (£170 per night with advance non refundable booking), but the photos gave a great impression and the website looked very professional.
We arrived at 4pm to be greeted by a packed bar, pools of vomit on the pavement outside and an obstacle course to get our cases through to the narrow staircase up to the rooms (we had to ask a few drinkers to move their chairs so we could get through). The noise was incredibly loud upstairs.
The room was large, but very tired and with an uneven floor meaning the bed sloped to one side (2 singles zipped together). The bathroom was mouldy, with paint peeling and not good at all - the extractor didn't work. The shower was an over bath fitting with scalding water dripping from the hot tap on to your feet.
After our evening out with the family (a birthday party), we arrived back, after navigating many more pavement pools of vomit to even louder heavy beat music that continued until 12.30am - we should have guessed there was an issue as they provide packs of earplugs!
6.30am the huge kitchen extractor outside the bedroom window starts up, making a Sunday relaxing start impossible - so an early shower with scalded feet!
Not great, and honestly one of the least restful places we've ever stayed, at quite a premium price for the privilege. Great for central Shrewsbury, but next time it'll be Premier Inn or similar.
Communications from the establishment were dire - we never received a receipt for our booking or confirmation, despite 3 separate emails asking for them, however we did receive automatic replies saying that we were important and someone would get back to us within 24 hours. Something definitely needs to change.
I'll finish on a high note though - the breakfast was absolutely excellent and one of the best hotel full breakfasts we've had.

A long way short of living up to the website photos

Loved staying here - great location. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Great breakfast - good quality local ingredients. Comfortable room ….bathroom was a bit tired but spotlessly clean. Also ate in the restaurant in the evening - superb menu and wine list

Great little place

We booked a 1 night break at The Loopy Shrew.  The venue is within walking distance of the train station and is perfectly situated to access all areas of the town.  We were able to check in early.  The room was clean, nicely decorated with a lovely comfortable bed.  We did experience some noise (from the bar downstairs), but nothing major and certainly didn't impact on our ability to have a good night's sleep (ear plugs are also provided). The breakfast was lovely and the staff helpful and friendly. Would definitely return

Perfectly situated

We stayed overnight at the Loopy Shrew & enjoyed our time there. The first room we were given wasn’t very nice, but we were changed to a better room on the top floor. It was warm, comfortable & had a nice en suite. The room was immaculately clean with comp tea/coffe/water. 

The bar area was full all day/evening which indicates how good it is & the atmosphere was vibrant. We had a lovely Spanish white Rioja (which we’re going to try & find to buy!) 

Breakfast was fine-not a buffet style, but there is a good menu choice & a glass of juice, plus a hot drink is included. Husband said the full English was very good & my granola was adequate. 

For us, the best thing was how polite & professional Ian was in front of house. He gave us his time, moved us without question, was charming & informative - he would be the reason we’d return. 

There is no parking, so we used Frankwell car park across the river as the nearest - however there is a loading bay directly outside for dropping bags.

Worth a drink, meal or overnight stay !

The Loopy Shrew hotel is ideally situated in the centre of Shrewsbury. The food, restaurant & Bar area was exceptional. The staff were also very accommodating.
However, the rooms are advertised as Boutique style. The room where we stayed was appalling, the carpet was terribly stained and badly fitted. The bathroom was so small and decorated to an extremely poor standard.
The overall maintenance was dreadful bad cracks in the ceiling, all the walls were badly scuffed, there was nothing straight in the room & the bathroom door handle did not work or lock properly, this is not Boutique standard.

Overnight stay in the Loopy Shrew hotel.

Great location right in the center of town. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is outstanding and freshly prepared to order. Can’t think of a better place to stay in Shrewsbury. The Loopy Shrew is a charming place.

The place to stay in Shrewsbury

The food is nice, unfortunately this is were it ends. The rooms are dated and not a reflection of the website. Customer service is not their forte  and if there  is any sort of problem they really do not care. I will not be returning and would certainly not recommend. 

Food nice, everything else less than expected.

The hotel is nice and central.
You can park opposite at £3.60 for 2hr max stay.
We stayed overnight in a double room at £140 through booking.com.
The food was lovely and well cooked.
Now for the bad bit: The room was awfull. Damp with wallpaper coming off. Windows didnt close properly. The fan in the bathroom didnt work.
We were woken at 01.00hrs by staff emptying bins and then the kitchen fans being turned on at 06.30. The view from the windows was like a scrap yard. 
Staff were ok

Ok if your out with the lads.

Very good stay at the Loopy Shrew. Room 206, Severn, came with a balcony, which would have been great, apart from the incessant rain! It was at the side of the hotel, so it didn’t overlook the busy front street. Very comfortable bed, good hot shower, toiletries included conditioner. Their full English breakfast was delicious! Eggs Benedict included on the b and b rate- equally good. Very friendly staff.

Lovely hotel room, buzzing bar, great breakfast!

We had the Sunday roast I had the Turkey the meat was awful  very dry couldn’t eat it the cauliflower cheese came in a separate bowl well I don’t know where the sauce was it was so dry and not very  warm so left that so all in all very disappointing .nobody came to our table during the meal to ask how it was .At the end of  my meal I was asked if all my  meal was all ok ?  I had not eaten much of it besides some other vegetables which were fine but did say the meat was awful could not eat it as so dry .The reply was sorry about that and brought the sweet menu I said no thank you .So very disappointing and won’t be eating there again .
