A good place to stay.Had a minor hiccup with the evening meal but was sorted out very well. Pool/gym very good, room clean and tidy. Bed a bit hard. Staff keen.

My partner and I stayed for one saturday night as we were competing in Taunton marathon the next day. The hotel was nice and clean, and looked as though it had been refurbished quite recently. The staff were very friendly. And the location is very handy. Overall good value especially when you consider the gym/pool is included. The only negative is that […] our room backed directly onto the local petrol station which meant we were kept awake by loud exhausts and revving engines from the local boy racers late at night.

Convenient petrol station next door which proved useful for maps/refreshments. Generally helpful staff and very clean. Excellent location in terms of outskirts of town near all main routes.

Well located, not that exciting, clean ans does what it says on the tin!! Not a romantic getaway but functional business hotel.

Overall we enjoyed the long break. Generally the staff were very helpful and friendly. The place was clean and pleasant, We didnt use the restaurant so cannot comment on the food. Only slight issue is the noise from the adjoining roads. Good location for various walks and RSPB reserves.

Positives:We enjoyed our one night stay. The hotel was mostly very clean and the swimming pool was great for a few early morning lengths. The breakfast was very nice and good value. It was a very easy drive to get into the centre of Taunton from the hotel. Negatives: We were allocated accessible room No. 5 - we're both tall so the very low basin, low […] storage area and low bed were most uncomfortable for our aging backs. There was an old pizza box with a half eaten pizza left in a drawer - yukky and so they lost points for cleanliness. There too much light in the room when it should have been dark i.e. the light leaked in from the corridor and there were green lights on the smoke alarm and a red light on another socket..all of which made it difficult to sleep.

Stopped there because of an early morning appointment in exeter. Convenient location just off the M5. Couple of miles into taunton with plenty of shops. On site fitness centre, pool and sauna very good. Staff wonderful and go the extra mile to look after you.

I have stayed here before, and the staff are great. The reason I have not rated the hotel higher is that there were a couple of slight niggles. I had not booked breakfast and was offered a voucher which was a couple of pounds less if I got it the night before than if I rocked up in the morning, but when I checked out and mentioned that it would be nice […] if a cheaper lighter option was available rather than the full monty, I was told that there is a cheaper option for a continental breakfast. This was not offered the night before so I was quite annoyed. The room was also very hot, and they had set the heating controls centrally so I was unable to change them. Overall however, this is a great place to stay and the staff try very hard to make sure you have a good stay. Read more

The service in the restaurant and reception was the best I have ever had at Holiday Inn which on other occasions is rather too formal. Large room and decent quality food all available.

Stayed two nights as we had a wedding nearby. Convenient, clean, breakfast good but pricey; excellent service by restaurant manager.

We had a very pleasant stay. A lovely meal and our son enjoyed a swim in the leisure pool.

Overall a very good hotel. Good value, especially if it happens to be an Expedia 'Secret Hotel' - cheaper than nearby Travelodge and similar. Close to M5 but minimal traffic noise. Well equipped fitness centre and pool/sauna available to guests. Jacuzzi not available when I stayed - being refilled. Hotel restaurant looked reasonable in terms of food, […] but seemed expensive. Breakfast in restaurant moderate good value if pre-booked (even after arrival in hotel). Bar with good staff, good choice of beers, and bar snack menu - better value than restaurant. Bad points. Internal noise insulation in hotel appalling. Bathroom sounds from adjacent or above room clearly heard. Room was very close to bar / reception and corridor door failed to keep noise out. I think there were function rooms near my room (Room 3), thankfully not in use on that night. Other rooms may well have been quieter.Would hate to have been there if wedding or similar on. Premier Inn do noise insulation better. 2 coach parties in when I was there, one of which seemed to be a touring band (brass or similar, not young) whose members were (tone?) deaf or assumed their colleagues were. Loud enough that I skipped on second pint, but could still hear from room. Recommended for short break, kids will like pool. Ideal break point in journey to West Country / Plymouth Ferries. Not good for quiet time. Read more

Stayed for a week in August. Rooms are basic and a little old now. Clean enough though. Staff friendly and little things like cookies in the afternoon for children is good. Breakfast average - overcooked hot food but at least a wide selection. Swimming pool and sauna were clean and gym is a good one. No steam room alas. Location is very handy for M5 […] access through Somerset which is what we wanted. Read more

Well positioned hotel, well decorated and every amenity - great swimming pool which the children loved, staff exceptionally friendly and small things like books, milk & cookies available every night in the foyer were a nice touch. Room comfortable and good size TV in room, a very friendly hotel where children are made to feel welcome. Food in restaurant […] good - on the whole a very pleasant stay and we would definately return if we are ever back in Taunton. Read more

Stayed at this hotel for business and found it to be easily accessed from the M5. The staff were efficient and the rooms of a good size with good facilities. The use of the onsite gym and pool were also a big draw for me. The pricing was good too. There are a number of restaurants nearby as well as a retail park and major supermarket. I would not hesitate […] to stay here again for next year's business trip in the area. Read more

Hotel was functional and delivered a good service in exemplary fashion.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Fantastic for a stop over on route to Cornwall. Having a swimming pool was great for a young family to burn off energy after a long trip. Only downside was restaurant didn't serve until 6.30pm too late for little ones but there was a Harvester across the road so no problem!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel close to Park and Ride. Staff friendly providing a good service. We arrived back late one evening after the restaurant was closed, however food was obtainable from the bar.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Compared with other Hotels we have used in the UK this represents great value for money! Easy parking, nice spacious rooms, helpful staff and big lounge all serve to make a welcome stay.Book ahead online to get some great deals!

This hotel was well up to the best continental hotels, well maintained spotlessly clean.The room nicely furnished with a very nice bathroom ensuite.Staff were very professional and keen to help.Only problem experienced was the WiFi connection which I did not manage to solve.Many hotels which offer thisfacility fail to make clear how to connect,though […] it just may be my own fault.All in all I would most definitely use this hotel again.

great overnight stay on route to Devon, staff very friendly and polite

Genuine Expedia guest review

Stayed over Easter as a family break. Got half price deal. Not a single complaint about anything. Rooms were up to standard. Very clean. Lovely pool and gym and jacuzzi. Great full beakfast - £13.50 but £10 if booked in advance at check-in. Would stay again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Excellent Service, The menu in the restaurant although small the food was very good and the staff were very friendly. My only negative would be the high cost of WiFi most hotels these days offer this service Free whereas Holiday Inn charge more for one day than I pay for a year.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This Holiday Inn, situated on the M5, is ideal for people who need a basic hotel to stay at while travelling from A to B. As it is a chain hotel it is never going to win any awards for individuality but then this is not what it is going for. As hotels go, this one is clean and comfortable, the rooms are of a good size, and it has an indoor pool and […] spa area (with sauna) which is free to use - this was a particular bonus and being able to go for a swim after a long car journey was a pleasant option which is what sealed my decision to stay here. The service at the front desk was friendly and efficient and I'd stay here again if it was convenient. Read more

Had a lovely one night stay in Taunton. Hotel staff were very helpful and friendly and what a lovely buffet breakfast. If we are ever in Taunton again will definitely return to holiday inn.

Although the staff do their best the hotel is extremely grubby and very much stuck in the 80s. The choice on the menu is poor especially for people trying to lose weight and the whole place is just rather depressing.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Pleasant enough. Quite a good gym (good size, well equipped), decent pool too.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very spacious, smart and clean hotel located so very conveniently just off the Taunton M5 junction and the main route into town with ever so friendly and on the ball staff who made us feel most welcome and looked after when needed. Restaurant a little expensive but probably worth the price with quality cuisine. Superb leisure suite with heated indoor […] pool and exceptionally well equiped and maintained large fitness room, again staffed by friendly and helpful people with a small extremely useful relating shop for all those things you may have forgotten to bring along. Extending our checkout time to 2pm at no charge was just the icing on top that made our stay such a memorable experience at a real bargain price. Thankyou! Read more

Great value no thrills accomodation. Excellent if you just want a base-camp. Good facilities, clean modern rooms. Let down by reception staff that appeared pretty uninterested in the fact that we were left standing there for nearly 10 mins to check-in, and were finally located by the very helpful bar staff literally around the corner within earshot […] of a growing queue.

We chose this hotel for its convenient location as a base for a couple of nights to see some of Somerset, including the Jurassic Coast, and, then, quickly moving on down the M5 to Devon. In addition, the hotel proved a pleasure to stay in.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Although a little expensive - all services were excellent and made it a releaxing weekend brake.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of service offered by this hotel. The only major downside for me is that it's about 2.5 miles from the train station and the centre of Taunton. No problem if you are driving but something to think about if you are not.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Liked staying at this hotel but was upset at the high charge for Wi-fi access which was only available in the lounge. Not really good enough for a hotel of this grade these days.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel was good, restaraunt was ok, room was in a position next to the Garage at the rear and noisy at around 5am.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

As well as not getting the room I booked we found the food uninspiring and the rooms old and jaded. The tv hissed, the soap smelt chaep and nasty and the shower had hardly any power. The breakfast was good but the chairs in the restaurant are like workmen's cafe chairs with plastic seats that stick to your skin if you are wearing shorts or skirts and […] ouch! how they hurt as you get up! The children's video games play area is adjacent to the breakfast area and very noisy if you are there to relax. Nothing against children but maybe it should be somewhere else? Read more
