Stayed 16th November 24 with 3 friend's and after staying there we would not stay anywhere else in Shewsbury. Our room was lovely , the food and cocktails were fabulous. Breakfast with the room fee was lovely and what a choice...... Thank you The Alb

A team that is accommodating, friendly and work cohesively together. If there is a request - this team finds a solution! Full English breakfast - tip my hat to the chef, thank you. The hotel room is more than adequate - it is clean ; bar fridge is an added bonus and sufficiently stocked with tea and coffee. The Ducked Up drink was awesome - made the close to Saturday night perfect! We had a lovely time in Shrewsbury and would recommend this establishment to others. Thank you.

I recently had the Full English breakfast at The Alb, and it was amazing! Everything was cooked perfectly, and the portion was more than satisfying. The only thing I didn’t love was the bacon—it had a strong wood-smoked flavor, which isn't really my preference, but that's not to say it wasn’t good. It just didn’t suit my taste. The staff were friendly, and the service was impressively quick. Overall, a great experience, and I’ll definitely be back!

After just coming back from London I was famished! Saw The Alb & popped in. The atmosphere was buzzing - great music was playing! I ordered 3 small dishes which were all amazing! I would recommend this location to my friends.

Just visited for a bottomless brunch for four. Lovely friendly staff. Delicious food. Great service. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to come to the paint & sip afternoon. Looking forward to future events

First visit for a spontaneous solo lunch. I felt welcomed and comfortable, a rare experience for an autistic person visiting a new place alone and not knowing the ‘protocol’. Millie’s attentive and friendly service, and her warm open energy, compelled me to take her name and write a review. Good menu, good food for the price, good vibes and good music (Millie’s playlist). I’ll be back

Staff are incredibly friendly and always welling to go the extra mile. Drinks taste amazing and are very fun with cool decorations. The only feedback I would say, is I prefer the cocktail menu with pictures of the drinks (think it was a treasure map style last time it had pictures) but even without the pictures, its still worthy of 5 stars! Also I would pay good money for the picture of Ronald McDonald on the wall!

Called in for a coffee on our walk. Toast for Roxy the Rotti too! A lovely welcome, great coffee and a bonio and water bowl brought over for Rox which she loved. Fast service, warm and welcoming, everything you want for your morning coffee!!! I couldn’t rate rooms as we weren’t stopping on site. The menu looked great so we would return for food on another occasion.
