The Horse and Groom

On the way over our taxi driver was telling us how bad this place was and that it had homeless people come in.. but homeless doesn't equal bad. I would definitely call it a hostel rather than a hotel though. The staff were nice enough, well the one man we saw I don't know if anyone else was there but he showed us to room, showed how shower worked as they have low water pressure and showed us what to have in kitchen. Slept well enough but could do with quite a big upgrade and better cleaning. My bedside drawer had old tobacco sprinkled in it and it was very dark lighting making it feel depressing. I would actually come back but only if desperate as you can get a lot more for same price in other places

Lovely room, clean and spacious. I was facing out the back which blocked the noise of the road. The floors were a bit slopey in places but that was fine. The ceilings also which, at 5ft 11, were a bit hazardous but I was at work for almost 12 hours a day so didn’t affect me too much. The only thing I wished was in the room was a full length mirror as there was only one above the sink and if I stood on tiptoes I banged my head on the ceiling slope. Other than that perfect! There was a fridge in my room and a fridge and freezer downstairs which were available to use. Fully stocked kitchen with everything you needed including washing machine and tumble dryer. Landlords were lovely and parking over the road. There’s a little Asda a minute walk up the road and a Chinese across the road. I would definitely stay again next time I’m in swaffom.
