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

Two-night stay to visit the cricket

The Royal Ashton Hotel is ideally placed within easy walking distance of the train station and the cricket ground. The reception staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and all rooms were reasonably priced.

Excellent staff

After geftting over the fact that it was not a hotel with meals available, as advertised on Taunton page and maps, the place was comfotable with plenty of close cafes and restaurants nearby. Also excellent were all the staff we met, very helpful indeed.

Good location but basic (at best!)

Basic accommodation, clean but didn't smell that good and the bathroom could definitely do with a makeover (cracked sink, old shower). However, well located close to station and reasonable price.

I arrived late (after midnight) and was met by a super nice manager who got me sorted. The room was clean and spacious. It was on the front side of the hotel so traffic noise was inevitable in the morning.

Do not stay terrible place and service

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

Nice hotel and super staff. My only moan is that the window blind in 38 hangs far enough away from the window to allow the lights from cars, street lights and traffic lights comes in meaning that you have to move the bed to help.

Excellent value for larger families

Really happy with our stay in the Ground Floor Flat. Layout gives space and privacy for an extended family, especially when connected to adjoining room. Very happy with the price paid on a 'cost per person' basis. Everything seemed newly refurbished and, while fittings were not luxury, everything was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and location was very convenient for what we needed - ideally between the railway station and cricket ground - albeit not the most picturesque part of the town.
