The Hour Glass Hotel
About
The Hour Glass Hotel is a budget-friendly spot above a traditional London pub. Located a little outside central London, the Hour Glass Hotel is well connected by a bus stop right outside and a tube station about a 20-minute walk away, making it easy to reach the city’s main attractions.
Rooms 🛏️
Rooms are small and fairly basic, but clean and comfortable, with thoughtful touches like a fridge, kettle, and some free cereal. Shared bathrooms and a communal kitchen are kept tidy, though it’s a good idea to bring flip-flops for the showers.
Pub 🍺
The pub downstairs gives the place plenty of character, with occasional karaoke nights that are lively but generally not disruptive.
Overall
Staff are welcoming and helpful with local advice, and there are no restrictions on coming and going, which adds to the relaxed feel. This is not a fancy hotel; furnishings are older and it has more of a classic local pub atmosphere. However, for the price, it offers excellent value. A good choice for travellers looking for a simple, authentic London stay without spending too much.
