In terms of the surrounding environment, the hotel is connected to a pub where you can order wine and drinks. The pub is usually filled with elderly customers who live nearby. It is quite safe during the day (I have never been out at night). You only have a key to the room and can go out to the first floor. One key. The boss and staff are very nice. After we chatted and found out that I am Chinese, the emails sent to me were all specially written in Chinese with pinyin. They are very cute and friendly. If you need room cleaning, please remember to tell the hotel staff. The wifi is relatively smooth and there is a refrigerator.

My experience at The Hour Glass Hotel was outstanding, largely thanks to the exceptional service provided by Wojtek. From the moment I arrived, he demonstrated a professional, friendly, and helpful attitude. His attention to detail and willingness to assist with anything made my stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel, not just for its facilities and price, but for its dedicated staff, especially Wojtej. Thank you for making my visit unforgettable!

I like to think my reviews are honest as you can get so hope this helps people to make their own mind up. This is a budget priced hotel so if you want The Ritz, spend the money, and don't complain for what this Hotel offers. Check in was easy, arrived at the hotel and went to the bar and was quickly shown to our room. Hallway is basic, carpet a bit dirty but not worn out. Room very clean and spacious, the toilet seat a bit loose and the bed sheet had a small rip in it. The carpet was fairly new and en suite bathroom was very clean and quite new, as was the bed. Windows have curtains but could do with blinds or nets to help block out views from the adjacent flats. Only had one pillow each, but asked for another and was given one no problem, plentynof towels, tea, coffee and milk. Again just ask for more and they happily oblige. The bar was quite cheap, nicely priced with excellent choice of drinks and snacks. Locals all seemed friendly, even though the surrounding area looked derelict and deserted. 10 min walk towards the city is a lovely area and a great coffee shop called HEJ, quite cheap and very good quality food and drink. Plenty of transport locally but UBER taxis were only between £7.50 and £16 from the City to hotel depending where you were being picked up and dropped off. All said, a great friendly stay, not the Savoy, but doesn't claim to be either, and yes, we would definitely stay again.

I do believe it is relatively clean, but Hourglass is a very worn-out place. Our “suite “ allowed very little walking space between our two beds. The bathroom is just barely big enough for a shower, toilet, and sink, smaller than a cruise ship bathroom. The bedding is pilled, which makes it less than comfortable. The rooms are connected to a pub where we met very interesting and friendly pensioners. This gave us North Americans a view of nice working class folks. Unfortunately the smoking outside came directly into the pub, leaving it reeking with the smell of tobacco. In the morning we discovered sketchy characters outside the establishment. This is an adequate sleeping place if budget is the most important item for your travels.

Checked in for my birthday weekend in London. Staff in bar were all very friend and so helpful. Paid the £8 per day to park the car outside. Was given the keys and shown to the room. Room itself was clean and tidy. Bed was solid. So woke up each day with back like pebbles. Only one pillow each wasn't fun either. On the whole though I very much enjoyed my time away staying here.

The manager (sweet polish girl) and her colleague (young man) were super nice and welcoming. Made one feel right at home. The room was tidey as were the loos and showers. Great spot. Will be back again to stay and also visit the quintessential south London local pub downstairs.

Ample space in the quad room we stayed in. Amenities worked, and staff was very friendly. Was a bit late picking up my keys, and was still able to check in with no hassle. Will definitely book again the next time I’m in the area.
