The Staff were lovely and it's a lovely central location. The pub was nice and they had a great band playing live music which i enjoyed. If you're not into loud music this place is not for you. I could hear every word loudly in my room. (Single room 4 poster) my friends in the hotel next door could be them as well! It was a well presented room with us own shower room and toilet with good presentation. However there are no windows to the outside for fresh air just to a weird void that they've decorated with fake plants that looks into the hallway where other guests are walking and can see into the room so you have to close the curtains The air con machine in the room was broken and there was a rubbish tower fan in there which didn't really do anything apart from make noise. The room with us lack of window was also unsafe. If there was a fire outside the room you'd have to climb through the void window which seemed to be in a asking and didn't stay open and break another window just to get to the hallway. I woke up with a horrible headache and felt awful (not a hangover as i don't drink) because of how stuffy the room was. The air vent in the room wouldn't even open either. Please sort this out because it's really unpleasant and can't be safe having no ventilation in the room expecially with covid.

Unfortunately ,whilst we expecred noise staying above a pub, we didn't expect deliveries at 1.30 am, or allow for the noise of the cobbles from 6am. Bed too was rather uncomfortable, only a single sheet on the mattress, no protector, and a heavy quilt. All in all a very poor nights sleep. We had booked breakfast, but there was only a cooked option, no cereal/ fruit etc.

Great location
Shrewsbury is a great place for a short break, full of historic and architectural interest and numerous good places to eat. The Bill Inn is in a great location - just step out of the door and your in the middle of a well-preserved Tudor street. But no insight parking is a pain - nearest overnight parking is at NCP, a five/ten minute walk away, although the car can be brought up to the door to drop off luggage etc. And steep, awkward stairs to accommodation, so beware. Staff - superb: friendly, relaxed, helpful, nothing too much trouble, which makes up for a lot.
