A delightful experience with terrific staff

The staff are some of the most helpful we have encountered. The place is spotlessly clean.

We preferred the beach hotel in minehead, had higher expectations for breakfast although the rest of our party enjoyed i

A great building, decent rooms nicely furnished, good en-suites we chose it for convenience.

Too warm for us and the floodlit station forecourt lit the room too much in the night, could do with blackout curtains.

Lovely hotel with friendly staff and great location, will definitely be going again

Location was brilliant, we were going to a show at the Brewhouse and we only had a 10 minute walk with bars and restaurants en route. Staff were very friendly and professional, and breakfast was excellent.

Convenient, comfortable, and friendly staff.

Location was perfect as I was forced to break my rail journey due to flooded rail lines and I needed to re-commence my train journey the following morning.

No food available on the premises after 5pm and I didn’t check in until 6pm after a long and arduous journey up that point

Value for money but at a price. Needs an investment in the decor and general appearance.

Closeness to railway station. Appearance is good . Staff friendly and helpful.

Hotel needs to be refurbished. Some rooms need reconfigured.

Quite a good,stylish renovation with unusual decor. Didn’t realise the connection with YMCA but very pleased that we were able to help in some way by staying there - an excellent idea. The young staff were all very pleasant and very keen to help so well done all.

Cooked breakfast was a bit pre-cooked but they explained that they’d never been that busy at any one time before … due to concert the previous night.

Convenient for station

Staff manner. Rude or over familiar. Decor tatty. Noisy inside and outside. Breakfast was awful coffee was cheap and tasted vile. Food had strange taste. No secure place for my luggage in checkout.

Very pleasant hotel for a short stay

First & foremost the staff were very welcoming & cheerful. The breakfast was excellent. WiFi was good (apart from the incident mentioned below).

The stay was marred by a power outage for several hours (until 9pm) on the 6th April. Which prevented use of toilet, shower & internet in addition to electrical items. Fortunately I had just enough charge left on my phone to enable me to descend the stairs which were in total darkness. Maybe the installation of emergency lighting on the stairs might be an idea? The other concern was security. Anyone could enter the property & up the stairs without being seen by staff, as the reception was in a sideroom, away from the entrance. ps My comments are not intended to be negative but are suggestions which will hopefully be helpful.

Great room in a great hotel

Very large room in an excellent historic hotel with great atmosphere. Well-appointed and nicely decorated, and a large en suite bathroom.

clean budget hotel but has potential to be a good hotel

The location was perfect for our purpose.

The bar is poorly stocked and had to wait till staff from reception came to open it and serve us then locked up to go back to reception, also no butter with toast in morning, I hate margarine so not happy.

Fabulous, Clean and Friendly

This is an absolute gem and always stay here when visiting friends in Taunton. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The Hotel is very central and it's just a few minutes walk into town. The rooms are lovely and clean. We were very lucky to have an upgrade this visit to a Premium room and it was so spacious. If you are visiting Taunton then this is the place to stay.

There isn't anything we didn't like. It was a perfect overnight stay.
