"Beautifull hotel, I guess one can call it trendy , but I just don 't understand how they can justify the price £130/night and that most of the time will go to £160 as they run out of entry level ones. So I guess the answer is there because people pay for it! But let 's just make some relevant comparisons Birmingham Grand literally in the heart of the city, brand new, 5* hotel, with all recently decorated rooms to the highest standard is £135 15 for breakfast. Needless to say rooms are air conditioned, fully equipped and genuinelly very posh. Hotel has lifts, has porters and the service is top notch. The Lion is barelly 4* just for trendiness alone, but the actual quality of furnishing is closer to 3*, has no lift and you will be lugging your bags up and down mutiple flights of stairs (and I mean multiple like 8 going up and down) trought narrow corridors to mediocre room (nothing wrong with it just mediocre) which isn 't even air conditioned. Sorry, I just don 't get it. That said restaurant is good fully fine dining if you are into it. Althought in my oppinion it doesn 't fit into the rest of the hotel. So it is ~3.5* hotel which is very youghtfull and trendy and then you get 5* fine dining with very tiny portions for the dinner (which is not criticism of restaurant, it is very good on it 's own). In conclussion I just don 't get what niche this hotel is filling, who stays there and why. The price for the rooms should be £75 95 tops. Shreesbury is not exactly prime tourists destination either (at least shouldn 't). But it seems it is working out for them, I just would not recommend it, I would not stay in it again and it is definatelly not worth the price. Neither in isolation, nor in comparison."

"Review written by Frau. The overall experience was good, the starters were great, but there were a few things that left it down. 1) It took a while to get our food out. 2) The drinks we ordered came out in Dribs and Drabs. At one point, a drink for our table was given to another table. We got the same drink twice. It seemed a lack of communication between the waiters. 3) The food was nice, but my husband ordered his steak and lamb to be moderately heavy, but when it came, it was practically raw. He couldn't even cut it in. The waitress was nice enough to take it back and cooked it a little more. 4) My parents food was much too salty we are a family that salt so for us to say it was too salty really something. The waitress was nice enough to take it back and when it came out, it was much better. 5) I had the prawn curry that was nice, it said it was a coconut Calc curry, but everything you could taste was lime, which I didn't make so much, but after a while it was a little sharp. 6) We called the waitress again when my sister had ordered Tacos, but she didn't want to, but when we called the waitress, she made it clear that she was fed/hearted to come to our table. She sighed before speaking and her body language clearly showed that she did not want to be there. 7) The cocktails seemed as if they had watered down. I got the Bramble and when it came, it just tasted soda water, that was not great and so did my sisters cocktail. With adjustments to settings and service, it could be a really great place."
