Nice big room. Very clean and quiet considering opposite station. We arrived very early to leave our bags but room was ready. Staff were great and breakfast superb. Our waiter knew his stuff. Only complaints were room very bright all night with station lights. Best to choose a back room opposite garden if this bothers you and bar had closed at 8pm. The porter wasn't allowed to sell us alcohol. Overall a great stay and nice kebab in Efes up the road. Born and brought up in Taunton so a reminiscent couple of days. Lovely shops too.

Kind staff. Good comfortable bed in good size room but. lacking a wardrobe, only a free standing clothes rack (not really hotel standard). The heating system needs attention, as is exceptionally hot. Good bathroom. Everything all very clean. Very good breakfast (though a long wait for it after ordering).
