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.

Nice hotel in Taunton
I've stayed in this hotel a couple of times and it has always been good. It's just a few minutes' walk from the train station, which is ideal if like us you don't drive. There are a good selection of amenities in the room such as kettle, fridge, TV, etc. The staff seem friendly. The hotel doesn't serve breakfast but there a few good options nearby.

The hotel was very clean and the bed was comfy with lots of good pillows. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Small thing, but the mirror in the bathroom was too high and small, and the wifi was a bit patchy.

We were greeted really warmly and had a lovely surprise of a sudden unexpected upgrade and gift on arrival to our room when we mentioned that we had been married the day before. We were also able to book in early afternoon which was very welcome.

Excellent value for larger families
Really happy with our stay in the Ground Floor Flat. Layout gives space and privacy for an extended family, especially when connected to adjoining room. Very happy with the price paid on a 'cost per person' basis. Everything seemed newly refurbished and, while fittings were not luxury, everything was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and location was very convenient for what we needed - ideally between the railway station and cricket ground - albeit not the most picturesque part of the town.
