Taunton House Hotel

It was clean & comfortable, and exactly where we needed to be for the BlueTone festival in Vivary Park

No humans. Self checkin, no breakfast.

Very convenient location

We never saw a member of staff as it was self check in. The place felt unwelcoming because of this. We stayed there a few years ago and it was lovely. We had a proper welcome. But now it's soulless. No one on reception. The bar has been stripped bare and no breakfast served. The place feels empty and unloved.

Great location, very close town centre, just a couple of mins walk and you're on the main shopping street. Very easy parking immediately outside hotel. Bed was a good size too, and room had 2 fully opening windows and a fan - weather really warm so appreciated the air-flow!

Stayed for 2 nights. After 1st night, the towels were changed and the tea/coffee sachets replenished but the bed was left unmade! This hotel is similarly priced to others in Taunton and the beds are made up on a daily basis in those; was suprised to find it wasn't here. Also no herbal tea-bags of any kind supplied, and none available when I asked. Felt it was over-priced as reception desk unstaffed, (you let yourself in with a key code), and there are no facilities like a bar/cafe or even a drinks/food vending machine. Not even a biscuit next to the room kettle! Issue with the water - the cold tap temperature seems to have a life of it's own - alternates between hot and lukewarm!

The humanless check in (and out) is unusual for an hotel but works well The location and parking are very convenient

During the heat wave the room temperature was unbearable and impossible to cool down. The fan was useless and not clean, full of dirt. A fridge for cold water would have been appreciated As the windows could not be closed (see above) the street noise was disturbing at night and early morning Price is excessive.
