"The rooms were clean, the parking is great and if you travel by train its opposite the station.
There is no food options for dinner, but you can order in and sit in the dinning room, which is lovely and charming.
I love this hotel. I think its run for and by YMCA(but could be wrong)."
"Lovely hotel in the centre of Taunton. We had a spacious, well-appointed room on the third floor with a nice view of the town. The hotel is an older building with lots of historic details / decor so it has a nice vibe. Daily room service kept everything clean and fresh and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is amazing: steps from the high street shops, cafes and pubs - you can't beat it. We'd definitely recommend this hotel and will stay again next time were in Taunton."
