The service of the staff was excellent and car parking is free. However, the plug sockets next to the bed required moving the bedside tables, so if you want to use any electrical devices whilst in bed, you had to use the sockets across the room. The toilet positioned in the room were too close to the wall and the handles to open the windows were loose and call fall out anytime.

Nice room on the ground floor, although large window looked directly out onto a busy carpark, meaning everyone could see inside the room - perhaps some shades would help.
Wi-Fi a bit iffy. Staff very nice and and meal in the evening was excellent.

Giving 3 stars is being generous. I paid £195 a night for a 2 night stay without breakfast. Way, way too expensive for the quality on offer. On the plus side the hotel has pleasant staff. On the negative side I could write a long list. Tired decor everywhere, no air conditioning yet somehow still too hot, no ability to even shut the bathroom door (room 234) leave alone lock it. Smacks of utter complacency by Best Western. Only stay here if you have to....

Room was OK but facing car park, adjoining school and Ice Rink. so we didnt see best side of hotel to the rear. Web shows facilities include a pool, sauna etc but according to Hotel pool hasnt been in use for 8 or so years and booking didnt mention exactly what facilities were in use so we werent able to access anything so unable to comment. Hotel kept sending emails to persuade us to upgrade but as links didnt work we thought these were a scam. Overall - Hotel's messaging is unclear and needs to be improved .
Wi fi access was intermittent and very patchy.
Package didnt include breakfast which was an extra £18.95 PP - factor this in if needed although we cant say if just shy of £80 for 2 of us over 2 days would have been good value for money
We used the restaurant for an evening meal once (in a 2 night stay) which apart from us was largely empty. Food OK but expensive with some dishes barely warm but others OK. Drinks prices high/very high.
Staff were helpful and pleasant.
Would we go again ? Probably unlikely to be honest.

Good hotel, nice superior room

Not a bad hotel. Stayed here once before. Checked me in earlier than 3pm which was appreciated. Payed for a premium room and it was very nice, spacious, clean, big bed and large double shower which was impressive.
Room was quiet and had an excellent nights' sleep.
Bar/restaurant was a bit cold (in feeling), that's my only criticism.

First time visiting

We stayed four nights while sightseeing the surrounding area. The Centurion is well situated to reach most tourist spots within about a half hour. The whole hotel was well kept and clean. We ate in the restaurant and enjoyed a meal there that was generous and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and efficient. The only downside was the room was hot. A fan was provided in the room and we borrowed another from reception which solved the problem. I would definitely stay again if in the area.

The room was a larger space and the staff was friendly. Room was clean. Towels were nice. This is an older hotel with poor room ventilation, dark and moist for most of our stay. Towels do not dry. Large common areas to stay and window view was nice. Lots of free parking. Meals and bar are very expensive . Nothing really walkable.

Overall Good

By and large it was very good. My niggles - restaurant menu limited and nothing very healthy; kitchen closes at 8.30; continental breakfast overpriced; only one comfortable chair in the bedroom; a bit too golf oriented to my taste. However, service excellent and friendly, and quite a good location to explore central and north Somerset

Couldn’t be happier with our choice of hotel room. We didn’t arrive until about 1930hrs, but was greeted by a lovely lady on reception, who asked if we wanted to eat that evening (which we didn’t) & if we needed breakfast (which we didn’t). We paid our £10 as we had been successful in an upgrade request online earlier in the day &, boy, was it worth it. A stunning view from our room (107) of the garden & golf course.

The room was very clean, comfortable & quiet. I have to be honest, we didn’t eat here as we couldn’t afford the extra on top, so we provided our own food.

Would definitely stay here again. Our daughter is at Bath university, so we probably will!

Cold & soulless ambience in bar +eating areas.

Double room was fine. Unfortunately the bar area & the two restaurant areas were insufficiently heated to be comfortable, and the whole ambience was cold & soulless due to the terrible dark prussian blue paintwork everywhere & the open utilitarian atmosphere. All the seating was fine but the hard flooring & lack of anything to break up that \"warehouse\" feel of hard floors & empty walls allowed sound to travel easily from the bar area to the restaurant areas. We were seated by staff at the table for 2 closest to the bar area (down a few steps) but all we could hear was the chat of the 2 or 3 people in the bar area & a couple of staff, over the music playing. We moved ourselves to a table in the conservatory area (I don't think she was pleased) - a large almost victorian type conservatory with great high roofline. Again some of that awful cold blue, open plan & not a plant in site! What a waste! Should have large trough of tall plants (even if not real) to break up the room & absorb some of the noise. We were the only ones in that area until an hour or so later & only 1 or 2 people eating in the other part but staff still managed to get the order wrong! The food was overpriced we think.

Large comfy room, good selection of teas and coffee in room. Reception staff were fantastic throughout. Bar area nice and clean, good selection of beers and spirits. Food okay, nothing special but not bad. Not a huge fan of 12.5% service charge added to food orders particularly in a restaurant that mostly offers more ‘snack’ type food (pizza burgers etc)

A bit noisy on this occasion

Generally speaking very good. The things that spoiled it for me was the noise of the private parties, both on the Friday and Saturday nights. Added to the fact that a constant stream of party guests traipsing through the bar to go outside to smoke and huddled together because of inclement weather the doors stayed open, letting the wind and rain blow through the bar. It made having a quiet drink uncomfortable, I ended up retiring early to be comfortable. I appreciate parties are necessary for income but some arrangements could be made for the smokers to be away from the doors to the bar.

Our room was lovely, very spacious and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was clean and well stocked. It was very quiet at night too, no banging doors, although not sure if it was because the hotel itself was quiet. The only negative was that the room was incredibly hot at night.

On arrival checkin was straight forward, with key card and details all ready. Our room choice wasn't the cheapest available, we went for the deluxe room and found it exceeded our expectations on size and cleanliness. Bar drinks, restaurant food, good choices of both with no complaints on service or standards. Morning checkout no problems. Will definitely use again with the same choices of room 235.

Centurion Hotel, Radstock

Have used the Centurion in my previous role, so knew it was a good standard. Disappointing that the bar area was unavailable as it's a good place to have a beer and snack whilst watching the sports. Restaurant is ok and meal good standard. Beer choice was poor compared to previous visits. Breakfast is good, lots of choice. Staff are friendly and professional. Rooms clean and quiet. A good location to explore Somerset, (Wells and Cheddar are close by), Bristol where I was heading, not far at all, about 40 minutes distant. Bath about the same.
