St Nicholas Boutique Hotel

Wanted to post a review on my latest stay. This trip, my wife and I stayed at the St Nicholas boutique hotel in Shrewsbury. We stayed 2 nights over the weekend (June 2025) and enjoyed our stay here. It wasn't all roses, so let me mention the Pros and Cons. Cons: no parking. We did contact the hotel, and were mentioned that the parking is closed, only a few hundred yards... But annoying and could be a challenge for less able bodied people, especially as we had to climb up/down stairs. Parking for 24hours was very reasonable at around 6 pounds a day. The bed. So it was a queen. Would have preferred a king, but the main issue was that every time you moved the bed would squeak. This did make for not the greatest nights rest. The duvet was also not comfortable... This, in my opinion would need some consideration. Due to the warm weather, we did have the window open....and on account of it's location (see below), did make for a noisy couple of nights. There were also issues with breakfast on the first day and running out of toilet paper, and a loose toilet seat etc..... These could have been very frustrating had it not been for the outstanding service provided, which leads me onto the pros: Service/Staff. Apologies for not remembering their names, but the staff at the hotel were exceptional. I cannot remember a hotel of late where I got any better. They were attentive and accommodating... A BIG thank you from me. Location. Perfect for exploring Shrewsbury town centre, just a few minutes walk away. Breakfast. Very good (on the Sunday) and great coffee. And yes, breakfast starts at 8:30, but on a weekend, not an issue for us! The building is quirky, but adds to the character. We were on the 3rd floor and although the weather was very warm, the room itself was relatively cool (thankfully owing to the very thick walls, a standing fan and open windows - which were beautiful). All in all, would definitely recommend this boutique hotel.

Our room was huge and the bed was huge. Great location next to the castle and a couple of blocks from the town center and only a few blocks from the train station. The owner, Ash, was very accommodating and most helpful and personable. I would definitely stay there again.

Ash and all the staff made us feel very welcome and couldn't do enough for us. We stayed 2 nights, the room was clean and very big with some lovely original features. There is a lift which is great as my wife has to use a stick to walk. We ate in the restaurant a few times, lovely breakfast and reasonably priced. One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. There is a good varied menu. I would definitely recommend a stay, right in the centre near to the things we wanted to visit.
