Ideal location if arriving into Taunton by train, less then 5 minutes from station about 10 minutes walk into the town centre. Also less then 10 minutes walk to cricket ground, the reason I was in Taunton.

The pictures shown are from rooms that are well lit but the room we were in had a side window facing the neighboring building and felt dark even during the day. Knowing that there is no air conditioning during the current hot English summer, it wasn’t the best experience. Internet was hit and miss.
The shared kitchen area was equipped with microwave, toaster, stove etc. and was usable for simple breakfast preparation.
The location is walkable from the Taunton station and 10 minute walk from all the shopping.

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?

Nice enough to rest your head
Nice enough place to stay to lay your head down. Bring your own hairdryer though, don't believe them when it says they have their own in the room
