Unfortunately the whole area around the hotel was a building site and there was a strange hint of rotten fish coming in from outside. Staff is very friendly. Rooms nice, bed good, lovely atmosphere. No air conditioning or ventilation a part from the window. No fridge/minibar. I had visualised before coming a nice garden where one could enjoy some nice... More

If in Taunton and in need of a decent pint delivered by an excellent staff then look no further.

My fiancé and I had a lovely evening here. Everything was fine, but that was the problem it was just fine. Don't know what we were expecting but both had expected a little more than we got. Nothing to complain about in particular, very pleasant staff and room was fine too.

The first room we were shown smelt fusty and for the first time ever, I asked for another. The next was better but overlooked the High Street and lacked central heating- there was an electric panel heater! The food was good, but the same menu for 3 nights.

After a lot of searching I eventually settled for The Penthouse at The Castle Hotel to celebrate a very special birthday. This is an ideal place for a smallish dinner party where guests can enjoy the lovely views surrounding the Penthouse. From the outset I had nothing but the utmost co-operation from everyone at this Hotel - the PR department,... More

The Castle Hotel in Taunton is really a castle. Its very pretty with a several hundred year wisteria climbing over the front and a couple of cats basking in the sun in its branches. Not all the rooms are actually in the castle, mine was in an annexe but easily accessible from the main entrance by stairs - there is... More

A group of 111 of us enjoyed a private party in the penthouse room at the top of this old Taunton hotel, still in private hands which probably explains the family-run feel of the place: not super-trendy but comfortable and staffed by helpful pleasant staff. The (upgrbded) room on the third floor had distant views of the county, only slightly... More

This hotel is located in the city centre and is part of the castle of Taunton. The hotel has its own parking lot for hotel guest. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The interior of the hotel takes you back in time. The building has a lot of history and the staff members are proud to tell their guest... More

I was born in taunton and have many memories of seeing all the international cricket teams who used to stay at the hotel in the 60s. I agree with so many of the astute reviews. There is something very nice about the hotel, even though it is a shame that the dining room is now closed for lunch and dinner... More
