Pretty basic hotel but that’s exactly what I needed for a one night stay with my daughter, it was clean, comfortable beds and a fridge/kettle/tea and coffee in the room. Nice size shower, close to small shops and restaurants, short walk from the town centre. The staff were also lovely and very helpful.
The only thing to bear in mind that it’s on a main road so it was a little noisy in the evening, but we both slept really well so it obviously wasn’t that noisy!

Close to train station and town. Very good reception check in, staff lovely, 1x free special coffee per guest per day. Good security. Provision of good quality hair dryer. Provision of hand soap, and shower soap. Provision of fridge for cold drinks.
Bed was firm but comfortable. Only 2 pillows provided but more given when asked for.
Room was warm, with adjustable electric heater.
Room 11 was disappointing :( The room wasn't particularly small but felt it with there not being a clear window to outside (there is an obscured window behind the bed covered by the blind, so fresh air could be gained if needed, but opening onto a narrow rear alley.
Shower room very small, with vanity basin not adequate for washing any more than hands and teeth. Definitely difficult to get the full sized kettle in to fill for drinks.
No towel rail so towels had to go on the floor. Extractor fan didn't seem like it did anything? Bathroom light switch above the bathroom door for some reason?
A coat hook would be helpful for somewhere to hang wet coats. Minimal no of coat hangers. Only 1 spare electric socket.

No working table. It is very small and in a corner of the building. Not comfortable for working people.

The space was clean and full of light, they had made the effort to get the heating on before check in where it had been cold and the staff were super welcoming and friendly (both day and night staff) all in all I was really impressed and surprised as to how good my stay was seeing as it was so cheap!

Emma on the desk was very welcoming, she made us feel at ease straight away. Can’t speak highly enough of her. The bed was amazing and so comfy! Even thought the room was overlooking the main ‘drag’ of Taunton we barely heard the traffic. We would definitely stay again!
There wasn’t anything bad to say! It was exactly what we wanted.

Location was good for a few good pubs on the edge of the town centre.
Lady on reception in the evening was lovely and helpful.
Furniture was rickety and not coordinated.
Appears that some rooms are permanently let to people that may struggle to get accommodation as I met a couple.
Fridge was really loud and I couldn’t sleep because of it. When I reported it in the morning the lady seemed annoyed and said just turn it off at the wall, but that could have caused water on the floor or something so not a sensible?
Big hole in the bathroom which caused a cold draft and gives potential access to vermin.

Very convenient location near railway station (important) and town centre. As a pne-night stopover it did the job just fine. No breakfast but the Ale House pub a few doors away does excellent breakfasts from 10am.
Lugging my cases up two floors of stairs wasn't great but I could live with it. Likewise a single bed, not had one of them in years. But I slept well so all was OK.

Staff were super friendly and helpful. We stayed in Taunton following our wedding, with our three kids. I asked to extend our stay with a late checkout, which was granted as a wedding gift. It was a great space for the five of us, with a cosy living area, and kitchen facilities. I personally found the bed to be very comfortable, and slept well. Unfortunately, our children broke a standing mirror in their bedroom, which we informed the staff of when we checked out. The lady behind the counter very graciously declined our offer to pay for a replacement, and showed kindness towards the children in a situation that most would not.

Chap behind the desk was very helpful. My phone charger stopped working and he tested it and found me a spare one and offered to let me keep it, which was kind, but I left it there as I have spares at home. But he couldn't have been kinder and more helpful. The room was basic but clean and the bed comfortable. I always have bit of a problem with quilt and no sheet or blanket as I tend to be hot at night, so prefer layers, but this is common even to expensive hotels now. There was tea and coffee. in the room and a small shower and separate toilet squeezed into a cupboard.
It was very basic, but for the price probably good. I am rather out of touch with hotel prices. Also a lot of stairs and a bit of a rabbit warren so probably not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. No phone in the room, so one has to go down to reception if one wants anything. But as I say, the chap behind the desk could not have been more helpful.

I loved being able to walk from the train station to this hotel in a few minutes. It's also very convenient (walkable) for the town centre as well. My room was clean and functional, and I appreciated the shared kitchen facilities which allowed me to self-cater - although there are plenty of food options (eat-in or takeaway) nearby. Staff were friendly and helpful.

5-min walk from Taunton train station and easy access to the centre. Staff were wonderfully warming. The apartment had pretty much everything I could’ve asked for, for a weekend’s stay.
The aesthetics of the room could be better as there were a lot of exposed essentials like an ironing board, a fan, etc.

Great value place to stay for a solo traveller in need of affordable last minute accommodation. The location is just up the road from the train station and a short walk into the town centre.
Everything is as advertised and good value

Front desk staff in the evening and morning were well informed and lovely.
£20 charge for dog (other places more expensive to stay at charge £10).
Very basic, some mould up in the wall of the shower, rest of the room clean.

Staff were wonderful. Couldn't do enough to help. I had a couple of issues arise whilst I was there (personal - nothing to do with the hotel) and they were so helpful. Also, the hotel is clean and tidy which is a big deal for anyone that spends a lot of time in hotels. Location was also good for me.
I was on the ground floor and as a woman travelling alone I prefer to be upstairs as I like to open the window. However, this is not really a criticism as I didn't specifically ask for this, I feel confident from my previous visit that if I had, they would have tried to accommodate my wishes.

I really loved that there is a fridge freezer in the room!. And a communal kitchen. Its really handy. It’s something you rarely see in hotels.
Really helpful reception staff. Very accommodating and even offered to help us with our luggage.
Love the generous amount of towels in the room!.
So quiet we got a great night sleep!.
Thanks to all the lovely staff! 👍
Needed more bowls in the upstairs kitchen.
Rubbish view from our windows , but to be fair we weren’t expecting much of a view in Taunton. It’s hardly las vagus is it?. So that didn’t bother us too much. Lol
We spent most of the time watching the rugby world cup final on the telly. (Much better scenery).

Perfect location, extremely friendly helpful staff. Room was spotless and big. Internet was great. Use able kitchen a bonus when you don't fancy eating out.
Sadly both the cookers were broken in the kitchen but microwaves worked fine. Could do with more sockets in the room. Had to move the kettle around the room to plug it in
