The wet one
As soon as we got reception staff couldn't do enough for us. First day went to the cricket got to see most of the game before rain stopped play. The rest of the match was virtually a wash out. Plodding round the town visiting places that were recommended all very good Wil be back.

Great Position
Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. It is within close distance to the Rail Station, Cricket Stadium & Town Centre. Staff were great & very helpful. Bedroom was large & comfortable & despite being near the road was fairly quiet. Bathroom needed updating but was large. For the price I paid, the room comfort, staff & location I would say this hotel is perfect & will definitely be staying again.

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.

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.

Odd smell on entry but not in other areas. Room was clean and facilities good but needs a bit of upgrading - missing shelf in bathroom and very old mirror. No BBC on tv.
Slept well

Excellent staff, appalling matress (never had so bad), shower needed some updating and deep clean to remove the mould.
If this was the 'Premium room' that I booked I hate to think what the 'standard room' was like?
