Very good

The property is not as advertised. Staff are rude and racist and ignorant. Got to this tiny silly reception met by two rude women and whe advised that the property’s adverts were misleading they quickly ran to their office desk and put a charge to my card and never came back to me to to offer keys of a room they had charged locked themselves in their room returned an hr later still none came to help me after I raised a complaint with booking for com
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
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.
Close to the station which is what i wanted, rooms clean and tidy but basic.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
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?

Disliked: Amenities
lovely friendly staff couldn’t be nicer.
place very tired.cracking plaster in rooms and so on.Bed very comfy.
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
My room was really dirty,as well holes,cracks in the wall. A shower with some dirt,as well the toilet wasn't really clean. But also stains and crumps on the carpet. The room was smelly. The WiFi connection wasn't stable,it always cut it off. The staff was friendly and helpful.
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.
