The room was smelling the freshest, the night staff were rude and lazy leaving residents waiting out in the cold trying to get in and there was a fun fair 2 metres from the hotel with loud music and megaphone. Overall very over priced for such a dilapidated and aged building that is in dire need of updating.

Amazing huge room with wonderful views, really comfy bed, clean bright modern bathroom. Extremely lovely stay at The Castle overall. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the parking is right outside, and breakfast was chilled and relaxed with plenty of eating options. Can't wait to stay again!

The shared parts of the hotel are lovely but the rooms, especially the bathrooms, are a little dated and lack amenities commensurate with the cost. The breakfast should be included in the price.

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.

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

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.
