Old Post Office
What Guests Say
I particularly want to mention the staff. Unfortunately, whilst we were staying at OPO my partner became unwell (no fault of their's, I hasten to add!). Staff showed care and concern, and were friendly and helpful towards us. When we decided to go to A+E a lady called the taxi for us and waited with us until the taxi came. In all our inter-actions with the staff they struck me as genuinely good humoured and helpful people. Food was also decent and came in good sized portions. I enjoyed the vegetarian breakfast.

As advertised, a genuine building with character and charm. It makes a great change from a premier inn. Location right in the city centre but in a quiet courtyard. I was there mid-week so it may be different on the week ends with live music. I had dinner at the pub twice and both meals ( slow-cooked belly pork and lamb shank ) were really well prepared. The bar had a good selection of beers. Both the room and the meals were great value for money.

Breakfast was included and ample. The room was comfortable and roomy for an old pub. Like many of these older pubs, there are stairs up and down to navigate. As long as you don't have excessive luggage, it's a small price to pay for staying in historical surrounds. Parking is 5 minutes walk away at St Julian's Friars. There are other carparks available that may be cheaper but this was closest. Keys are collected from the pub counter, the Old Post Office Hotel is through an alleyway but easy enough to find. Very comfortable for a short stay in Shrewsbury.

Great location. This is a 16th century pub....lots of character, some uneven floors but generally very comfortable. Big TV in the room Tea, coffee and biscuits provided Delicious breakfast Very clean The pub is busy and noisy but they tell you about this in advance. All was quiet by 10.30pm

A very comfortable and friendly hotel, great location, lots of charm, and offering an excellent breakfast. The room was warm and the bed was very very comfortable. Although there is live music in the bar several nights of the week, I could barely hear it and it didn't go on late. I had an excellent night's sleep!

Brilliant town centre location. Check-in was efficient and friendly. Room was a good size and bed was comfortable. Room was clean and I enjoyed a good night's sleep (quiet room, no noise from pub). Nice sized en-suite bathroom. Friendly bar staff and reasonable drink prices. Fantastic breakfast, cooked to order (cereal, yoghurt, toast also available).

Location was excellent being only a short walk from the train station and close to centre of the town. Staff friendly and food tasty and all good value. Loved reading about the history of the place and the quirkiness of the building.

This was a perfect spot to spend a couple of nights. The pub is in the centre of the town, just a short walk from the train station. The room was comfortable and clean. We stayed in a room with a private but separate bathroom that was located just down the hallway, which was of no inconvenience at all. The bar and waitressing staff in the evenings were friendly and helpful and the lady who does the breakfasts was fabulous. There's a great choice for breakfast too!
