For £94.50 a night this is a very basic hotel.
Room and bed were large and clean, but very sparsely and cheaply furnished. There was a TV and 'fridge.
Bathroom was very small, though clean.
Amenities? I didn't notice any - no breakfast, no lounge or bar.
The other clientele did not inspire one to expect a peaceful or indeed safe night's sleep; though in fairness I enjoyed quiet and restful nights.
The hotel is well placed for Taunton station.
Staff were awesome, easy walk from train station, lots of choice for food nearby. Bus stop out front.
If you got heavy luggage request room downstairs as there no lift.
I use this hotel all the time for my work visits in Taunton, and honestly, its fantastic. The rooms Ive always stayed in are large, clean, comfortable and its in a great location. Both Meg and Emma are amazing, you really couldnt feel more welcomed. Great hotel with great service.

The rooms are always spotless and the staff are always helpful and friendly. To be fair, the rooms could do with an uplift but you can't fault them as they are. The hotel is in a great location.
Great stay! Staff so friendly and welcoming, really made the experience for us! Room extremely spacious and clean. Only downfall is there’s no floor length mirror
Really enjoyed it. Smallish room and bathroom but nice and cosy and slept well. Right in the heart of Taunton so great location

Ok stay for one night stopover, would not have been suitable for any longer ad facilities were lacking, minimal wardrobe space, Beds not particularly comfortable, weak shower, no parking, however it was clean and the staff were nice
The staff were very friendly and welcoming and keen to go out of their way to help. The property is very conveniently located for accessing most things in central Taunton.
Friendly staff, nice clean room with everything that you need for your stay.
Very accommodating when my plans changed slightly and was able to extend my stay
What a lovely place to stay! The lady who checked me in was so lovely and showed me to my room even when she was busy. The room was gorgeous and very big. The cleanliness was fantastic and bed comfy. Totally recommend a stay here. Great rates too. Thank you Royal Ashton.
Lovely clean room. Only thing id say is get a little stool instead of the chair. It sticks out and hit my toe going 2 the toilet in the night.Very quiet. Receptionquiet.mins
Last minute booking to visit our sick father and the staff were incredibly accommodating and helpful. Good location, comfortable beds and warm. Could not have asked for more.
