"Staff are extremely efficient, helpful and polite "

We stayed on a Friday and Saturday. As always the staff were efficient, friendly and helpful. Cannot do enough for you! On this visit, sadly we were disturbed just after 2am Sunday morning by loud drunk guests near us who seemingly opened a fire door. They then walked around the corridor continuing to be disruptive and loud. Very inconsiderate really. The assistant manager dealt with them swiftly thankfully, firmly telling them that their behaviour was not acceptable, insisting they returned to their rooms and be quiet. My mother was staying downstairs, near to reception and was also awoken by the fire alarm, but as I said, it was dealt with very quickly and any evacuation avoided. In the morning the staff were very apologetic to us all as it seemed some people had been complaining, although most understood that it was not the fault of the hotel. I always choose Premier Inn over some others nearby because of the staff. They are always a credit to Whitbread and I feel dismayed that they have to deal with these type of people, disruptive and inconsiderate, shocking way to behave. Keep up the great work Lisa and the team! See you again soon.

"Assistant Manager has an attitude problem"

Well as for amenities, comfort and cleanliness/tidyness, the hotel was spot on as I find is always the case for Premier Inns. However, an issue did arise on our return Saturday night when one of our party accidentally set off a fire alarm (note we were NOT in a disorderly state--relatively drunk but not loud). By the time the delightful Assistant Manager, whose name I believe to be Lisa, had marched up to us half of our group had retired to their room and we were left to be scolded by this woman who just assumed we were the ones to blame (no joke the way she spoke to us was giving me flashbacks of my red-faced head teacher during detention. Very undermining.) There was no please or thank yous, just her ranting away about having "children sleeping here" and having to "go around shutting down all the alarms in the building". Bear in mind that my friend and I are quietly stood there. My accompanying friend is a director of a company and he was frankly shocked at the attitude she showed towards her guests. There is just no need to be so rude. Another thing, latest checkout time is 12pm so why the room keys no longer work at 11.30am when we returned from breakfast is beyond me.

"Staff treat you as guilty till proven Innocent"

There was an issue already existing on arrival and one occurred later both of which I was blamed for by staff I was very poorly treated as well as one of my guests staff were very unhelpful when trying to explain our side of story but it fell on deaf ears

"Great stay."

Mine and my partners stay was great. Our room was clean and tidy, bed very comfortable. Staff didn’t bother us but was there If we needed anything. Check in process very quick and easy. Would definitely stay again.

"Just perfect!"

The most helpful, most friendly and most officiant staff I have ever had the pleasure to meet, they helped me out in so many ways, I had my assistance dog with me and all took an intrest in her but also no one just reach out to tounch her or interact with her without checking if it was permitted to do so. I had a lovely accessible room but it would have been 5* had there been a shower or wet room instead of a bath, even though it was a low level bath I can still not use one. I absolutely loved and really really appricated the noon check out, it meant I had a lay in, walked the dog and fed her, had my breakfast, packed and loaded my car at a leisurely pace instead of feeling rushed and preasured to get out, it was perfect, thank you to all the staff I had the pleasure to me from myself and Doris the assistance dog leonberger.

Hotel description Get right to the heart of the action at Premier Inn Hotel Taunton Central (North). Located close to the town centre, you're just minutes from the home of Somerset Cricket, key business destinations, and within easy reach of the best that the South West has to offer. Be bowled over at the Somerset County Cricket Club. Pick a winner at Taunton Racecourse, or take the whole family on a trip through time on the West Somerset Steam Railway. After a busy day, you can kick back in our tasty on-site restaurant, whilst the kids explore the fun factory. And when everyone's tired out, relax in our spacious rooms and extra-comfy beds.
