10/10 Exceptional

Lovely stay in charming Taunton

I stayed here while excessively jet lagged and booked the Mendip suite for extra comfort. The hotel was very comfortable and very well appointed. The staff were friendly and courteous, the bathroom spacious and clean, and the breakfast was superb (especially nice to see Black Pudding on the menu!). Would very much recommend for anyone looking to spend a night or two in the charming town of Taunton. For anyone looking for a decent pub nearby, the Ring of Bells was excellent.

Times may change, but standards must be maintained. The Castle does this in spades.

10/10 Exceptional

We had such a wonderful stay at the castle hotel. The only feedback was the receptionist on check out wasn’t as friendly as the lady that had checked us in. She appeared to be confused with the communication around breakfast timings. Over all it was a wonderful stay, in the perfect location and it’s such a beautiful hotel

Very clean and well equipped apart from plug points Most of the plugs were round pin and not compatible with modern plugs Updating to include PowerPoints near the bedside tables would be ideal Lovely breakfast with excellent Eggs Royald

We did not like the parking arrangements. Car park now operated by NCP. Also very noisy Wednesday night due to a bar operating until 1.30 in the morning.
Ann, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The most stunning exterior, and there were lots of nice staff, who did try earnestly to help when I shared my concerns. The hotel was clean and our room was a really good size. The website shows beautifully decorated luxurious looking rooms, however the hallways and our room clearly have not been touched (since the 80s I’d think) and there is bit of a musty smell - which you’d forgive in the original part of the castle. With a revamp it would be amazing, but sadly they are oh so tired - it must be so tough in today’s economy. Perhaps a didfernent price point for revamped rooms might help? Awful and painful grip tape inside the bath was the worst thing (a less than relaxing soak in the morning). Overall it is just not as advertised on the website and the prices felt high considering this. Very poor quality breakfasts, especially the sausages and eggs royal. Don’t bother with the travel cot, it’s hard as nails. Rather a strongly worded welcome to Somerset in the guest handbook was definitely worth a read though! Didn’t want to take pictures to be honest.

Book with caution! Be aware that there is a nightclub called mamba next to the hotel. Wednesday and Thursday they are open till 2 AM Friday and Saturday till 3:30 AM. We stayed at the hotel mid May Saturday night and the music was extremely loud. It was a heavy techno beat that literally shook the room. We tried to sleep with earplugs, but to no avail. I gave the hotel overall three stars, but that might be generous.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

On arrival our room was not made up with 2 beds so we had to wait an extra half an hour for it to be done (we arrived at 6pm). My mother is 79 years of age and was tired. Neither of us slept through the night either as there was no air conditioning and had to leave the window open. The bar next door was loud all night. Worst night’s stay ever and the hotel is not cheap. The hotel needs a serious upgrade. The staff were nice though so I don’t blame them!

The vegan breakfast options were extensive, the staff were so helpful and kind to us. The room was super clean and the building itself felt magical. We ended up walking around the area and finding nice shops and cafe's as well as the market on Saturday.

Cheeky to charge for parking here. It’s a bit of a run down town centre

A night at The Castle

I was very underwhelmed for the money it cost. No fridge or aircon, bottle of water that was left us was in direct sunlight so too warm to drink. Honestly, it was disappointing and I have stayed in better value hotels

Amazing staff…..

Fantastic building! Perfect location. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Just some rooms are in need of a little TLC so it depends which of the rooms you stay in. The room we stayed in just needed updating but the bed was so comfortable and a very good night sleep was had!!

Beautiful hotel.

Beautiful hotel. Historic and stylish. Staff were lovely and incredibly friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, Taunton was very loud and noisy for a Tuesday night!

Large traditional hotel. Room was spacious but cold, bathroom was even colder. Food in Brazz was very average in a huge soulless room.
Fiona, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is past it's best, tired and shabby. The dining options are v limited only a brasserie / bar. Service is underwhelming, staff have generally low levels of enthusiasm and not v welcoming. Parking is expensive. We had asked for a menu before coming to the property and got no response. We were not informed we had breakfast included. This was an anniversary event and was far below expectations for the price paid. Would not come here again
