Royal Ashton Townhouse - Taunton

I was travelling to Taunton to attend a funeral so not as a tourist. My need was for a reasonably priced hotel near the station with a 24 hour reception. This hotel ticked all these boxes and more. The hotel is a short walk from the station but not so close that there is noise. The receptionist couldn't have been nicer and kindly organised a taxi for me the next day. The room was small but had a comfortable bed and tea/coffee facilities and a small fridge. There is no restaurant (though I believe there is a kitchen which I didn't use) but the hotel is surrounded by shops, restaurants and cafes of every type. (I can recommend Venezia). The room was quiet and despite it being one of the hottest days of the year, it was cool enough with windows that open.

Clean and comfortable with extremely friendly staff. I do hope the owners value their staff as they definitely add to my 10/10 review! Stayed in a large treble room at the front.with my daughter. We did need to keep windows closed during the night due to road noise, but you can see its on a main road when you book. If we had been staying more than one night i would have asked for a fan which i believe they have. I was surprised to find a fridge in the room which would be a bonus if staying longer. There is also a kitchen which you could use, and i understand you can have clothing washed and dried for a reasonably amount. I would definitely return if staying in taunton.

I recently had an amazing time at the Royal Ashton Townhouse in Taunton. The staff were absolutely fantastic, super friendly and helpful, making check-in a breeze. The rooms are a bit basic, but they’re perfectly functional and it’s clear they’ve been recently refurbished—everything felt fresh and modern. But what really impressed me was how clean everything was! My room was spotless, and the bed was super comfy. The location is also great—it’s less than a 5-minute walk from Taunton Railway Station and only 10 minutes into the town centre on foot. For the price, it’s an absolute steal, especially compared to other options in the area. I’d definitely stay again!

My sister and I came for two nights to celebrate my Auntie’s 90th birthday. We booked a twin room on the upper floor. However we were put in the Ground floor flat so we were spoilt for beds and it was very spacious. So close to our family’s property too

Great location, just next to the train station and easy walking distance to the town centre. Loads of shops and restaurants very close by, including a big supermarket. Kitchen available with all that is necessary to eat and cook. Kettle in room with complementary tea and coffee. Very helpful staff and the possibility to leave luggage for a short duration before or after the stay.
