Good location but basic (at best!)
Basic accommodation, clean but didn't smell that good and the bathroom could definitely do with a makeover (cracked sink, old shower). However, well located close to station and reasonable price.

A good option for visiting Taunton. Good location as it's walkable from the train station. Front desk staff very friendly & helpful. Room was very clean & included a mini refrigerator which was appreciated. Beds comfortable. A minor issue--towel racks & hooks are definitely needed as wet towels need a place to dry.

I arrived late (after midnight) and was met by a super nice manager who got me sorted. The room was clean and spacious. It was on the front side of the hotel so traffic noise was inevitable in the morning.

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.
