What guests think
At Royal Ashton Townhouse - Taunton, guests consistently highlight genuinely friendly, accommodating staff and a very convenient setting near the train station, town centre and cricket ground, with overall good value for straightforward, no-frills stays.
The property is room-only, with shared kitchens or in-room fridges in some units, and there is no on-site parking. Room quality varies: some are spacious and comfortable, others feel small or tired, with reports of weak or temperamental showers, patchy Wi-Fi, hot rooms without air-conditioning, and limited soundproofing or early-morning light. Cleanliness is frequently praised, though a minority mention strong odours, mould, or poor upkeep such as dirty bathrooms and stained mattresses. Expect a basic, good-value base.

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.

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

This hotel was horrible and I would not stay there again. We arrived just after midnight and the reception area smelt strongly of cigarette smoke. The room itself smelt horribly of stale cigarette smoke, even the bedding smelled. The bathroom seemed fairly clean but the sink was cracked and stained, as were the taps, generally all very tatty. The room we had looked absolutely nothing like the ones on the website, if I had seen a representative picture of our room there is no way that I would have booked it. As we arrived so late we just had to put up with it but if it had been earlier in the day I would have walked out and found somewhere else.

Do not even consider this ‘hotel’. If Expedia want photographs I have many! We stayed in room 9. The room in general was very run down but worse than the marks on the walls and doors was the filthy bathroom. We did not take a shower as it was too dirty. The worst offenders were the mattresses. Please, please, please check your mattresses (underneath the protectors) before using. Both our mattresses were heavily stained with what we assumed could only have been urine on both sides so they had been turned over and put back on the bed. They were unfit to be used in any hotel. The only saving grace was that the manager apologised and issued a full refund but only after I showed her the photographs.

The property and room were clean and had good amenities. I would recommend it for those who are deep sleepers, however I would not recommend it for light to average sleepers. There is zero sound proofing so you hear every door that opens/closes, suitcases being wheeled and conversation. While the beds were comfortable we barely slept due to the noise.

The room was warm and well appointed and larger than it looked on the website. A comfortable bed and I loved the deer paintings on the wall! The shower room was new and immaculate. No wasteful miniature shower gels, etc, as this was provided in a bulk dispenser, which gets eco-points in my view. The service was friendly and very helpful, down to providing herbal teas when I asked. Round the clock in person presence. Extremely close to the station and excellent value, with a very affordable room rate.

The property is within 3-5 minutes walk from Taunton Station and very easy to find. Staff were friendly and welcoming throughout my stay. Reception is open 24 hours a day which is useful in case of problems. I booked a standard single room which was clean and warm with reasonable en suite facilities although the shower was inclined to swap from very hot to cold water without warning. The fridge in the room was useful as the hotel is room only. Coffee and tea are provided, I stayed for 2 nights and it would have been good if the mug in the room had been replaced with a clean one the second night and more coffee and tea sachets left in the room. The bedside light in the room was nice but would have been improved had there been somewhere to plug it in.
The property is within 3-5 minutes walk from Taunton Station and very easy to find. Staff were friendly and welcoming throughout my stay. Reception is open 24 hours a day which is useful in case of problems. I booked a standard single room which was clean and warm with reasonable en suite facilities although the shower was inclined to swap from very hot to cold water without warning. The fridge in the room was useful as the hotel is room only. Coffee and tea are provided, I stayed for 2 nights and it would have been good if the mug in the room had been replaced with a clean one the second night and more coffee and tea sachets left in the room. The bedside light in the room was nice but would have been improved had there been somewhere to plug it in.

Really happy with our stay in the Ground Floor Flat. Layout gives space and privacy for an extended family, especially when connected to adjoining room. Very happy with the price paid on a 'cost per person' basis. Everything seemed newly refurbished and, while fittings were not luxury, everything was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and location was very convenient for what we needed - ideally between the railway station and cricket ground - albeit not the most picturesque part of the town.

The hotel receptionist was really nice and very helpful. She swapped our rooms for us and made us very welcome. We had a family apartment with 2 bedrooms, a lounge and a kitchenette. It felt a bit unloved, like it wasn’t used very often.

A good option for visiting Taunton. Good location as it's walkable from the train station. Front desk staff very friendly & helpful. Room was very clean & included a mini refrigerator which was appreciated. Beds comfortable. A minor issue--towel racks & hooks are definitely needed as wet towels need a place to dry.

This is a well-located and convenient hotel. I had a large clean room and access to the kitchenette where I made my supper. Good value, thank you,

This looks like a big old hotel that has been updated in to decent sized apartment style rooms. The check in was easy and staff were helpful. The room was huge! Really huge and well appointed. It was super comfortable with everything you would need. There was even a fully equipped kitchen. Rather than eat out, you could cook if you wanted to. The hotel has no bar or kitchen, so no breakfast is offered, but there are lots of places to eat within a 2 minute walk. The only issue I had was the temperature of the room. It was very hot outside, 30C, but the room was almost unbearable. The corridor was way more comfortable and cooler. The room felt like it was 40C plus! If you open the windows, the road noise was pretty horrific. The fan they provided did not touch the edges of the heat. It was the only issue I had.. To be honest, for most of the year, this would not be an issue.
