We were charged £95 for one night for a twin room with no breakfast, the room first offered was right at the back (in the backyard), it felt cold, damp and dark and had a smoking area right outside- so it smelt of smoke and people stood by the door smoking and talking loudly on the phone! It seemed like an old garage- though the decor was good! we asked to be moved. The staff were amazing and gave us a room upstairs but it became apparent that this was a children’s extension to another room, with a locked door between, but there was no soundproofing between the rooms or under the door- everything was heard both ways! The rooms looked like they had been recently refurbished but the beds were very small and I didn’t sleep at all well as I was uncomfortable! The staff wanted to offer a refund but as we had booked through Expedia they could not! They advised us to ask Expedia for a refund! I would not pay more than £60 for either of these rooms!! I hope this message gets through to someone- I will be seeking a refund!

Convenient location for our trip. (the good thing) Not sure what rooms they show on their website. We booked a double premium room !!, but the 3 we were shown were very tatty and below the normal standard expected for the price. Bathroom smelt, everything in the room was very cheap. Wont be staying again.

Good for a cheap central stay

Good central stay for Taunton, perfect for the cricket. Friendly staff and the conditions reflect the price, but it I was perfectly adequate. Slight issue with the shower constantly changing from hot to cold but nothing too bad

Great location but hot

A fantastic location , the staff were very friendly and helpful the young black lad . Our only complaint was the premium room on the top floor was so so hot and the portable fan was basically of no use .

No frills

The location is good. I was also very impressed at how cool my room was despite it being a heatwave. Bed was comfortable and shower was nice and hot. However there were some disappointing features. The decorative cushion on the bed had stains on it. So did the fabric chair and the rest of the furniture is old and worn. I was on the ground floor and there was lots of noise from other guests / doors slamming in the corridor as well a courtyard outside where the noise from other rooms echoed despite my window being fully closed. The room smelt weird too. It’s a basic no frills stay if you need to be close to the train station but I won’t be rushing back.

Dissatisfied and disappointed

Very tired and not really clean room, on line check in did not work. After long day at work filling in forms that I had done on line at reception was not good. Bed was small and not comfortable. Fridge had been leaking left wet patch by toilet door, see pictures. Shower door broken and not cleaned and windows not working either at £72 not good value. Can't add photos link not working????

I stayed here for 5 nights. We were here for the Kings College Cricket festival. Overall super disappointed with the stay — 1/ The rooms are very tiny even for one person. Even if you are a single person staying, highly recommend to upgrade and get a bigger room. 2/ Room service does not come unless you ask them to specifically do something and they will only do that. For example towels change, trash clean up, coffee/milk restock, everything has to be mentioned. 3/ The first room I was booked to had the electric outlet broken so they had to move me to another room. The staff did help move some stuff, which is good, but would have been great if they inspect the room before assigning it to someone. 4/ Biggest issue - the room has lot of bed bugs and mosquitoes. It have at least 15-20 bites across both hands and both legs. Yes it is better than Taunton House IMO, but there are far better AirBnB and Holiday Inn options. Never staying here if we end up coming to Taunton in future. Not recommending it to any visiting cricket academies. BTW I have photos of my arms and legs full of mosquito bites, hope Orbitz lets me upload it.

OK hotel, busy central location

Well located for the train station and cricket ground. However, it is on a busy road with plenty of pubs and takeaways a stone's throw away, so don't expect a quiet night. Can't sleep with the window open, but a good fan is provided. The window being closed did stop most of the noise. Condition of the room could be better, could be worse. Bed was average. Walls are thin, could hear conversations happening next door. Bathroom tap had hot and cold labelled the wrong way around. Soap had a strange scent, almost like rubber. Shower took a couple minutes for hot water to come through. Overall, despite a few flaws, it's a fairly run-of-the-mill hotel and I'd consider staying here again.
