Will stay again

Amazing welcome!! One of the friendliest pubs I’ve ever visited in London!!! The staff and locals were chatty .. the bedroom was a good size, with a well stocked coffee tray and cereal and milk for the morning.

Great for the price

For the price you pay its fine just don't expect the Ritz. The manager and his wife are the best, so helpful and friendly you won't find better.

The bar person was nice. The surrounding area was a little intimidating to say the least with what looked like gangsters and a drug dealer hanging around the property.

Good Option for Last Minute Booking

This hotel is perfectly fine. It's definitely no frills, but certainly comfortable enough. It was well within our price range for a last minute reservation. We checked in later at night and the staff made us feel very welcome. The pub can get loud sometimes as can the neighborhood around it. The wifi was available in the room and in the pub and was always reliable. It's about a 15-20 minute walk to the nearest tube station, but a very short bus trip with several busses running regularly right out in front of the hotel. Strictly pub related: this doesn't seem "family owned" any longer and it certainly does not offer any kind of pub food outside of crisps. There's a nice variety of beers and the staff are friendly as well.

Horrible

As soon as I turned the corner and seen the state of the surrounding area I was happy I didn't fill the van up so if it got nicked they wouldn't get far. Rough is an understatement - and I'm from Salford! Got a pint and googled stab vest retailers, none nearly surprisingly. After what seemed like an hour she sorted parking permit for 11 quid and I was shown to my room. As soon as you walk through the first door it reeks and I was dreading the next 12 hours. Room was a bit sparse with a kettle and a fridge but no milk (cheers) used a grim shower and went spoons for some food. The residents opposite are so loud at night I didn't get a wink, some fool constantly putting rubbish down the chutes, cars speeding about with music on and then the bin men finished the shambles off. Don't bother

Exceeded my expectations.

At the last minute I needed to find a room for the night so I could attend the second day of a conference when a colleague couldn't make it. Representing a charity the price needed to be as reasonable as possible. The Hour Glass hotel and pub fitted the bill; despite having been a little dubious before I got there. Checking in I was escorted to my room (and the staff member offered to carry my bag for me). I had a twin en suite. The room was quite large. It had a window I could open, and the bed much was much more comfortable than the more expensive hotel is been in the night before. I had a refrigerator, kettle, plenty of coffee tea and biscuits, good quality white towels, and access to a separate kitchen (between10am and 10pm). They were happy for me to order food to be delivered to the external door downstairs. Once I'd checked in I wouldn't have needed to go into the pub again as the side door was used to access rooms. There was a lock-box for keys on checkout (I had to leave very early). The pub obviously served the local community. On the Tuesday night I was there it was quite. I felt safe and the answer to the obvious 'bottom line' question of would I stay there again? Would be yes. If you were keen to explore "South of the river" it would be an ideal place. Bus stops are virtually outside the door and buses seemed to be quite frequent.

This is not hotel but a junk and bad environment. If you looking for hotel and decent environment don’t do it and clean hotel and a place you can sleep with your two eyes close

The staff were very friendly Considering it’s above a pub very quiet room was bigger than expected. Clean and tidy Room was hot but they did provide a decent fan for the room. Could do with a new mattress I’m a big girl so need a firm mattress but still a good stay if you are looking for somewhere to just put your head down this is the place and the Wi-Fi was very good 👍

Basic but cheap and has parking

I chose this hotel because I was looking for somewhere inexpensive for an overnight stay for work between attending two courses. I was pretty much going to get there, catch up on emails, sleep then go. The hotel describes itself as a basic, budget hotel and that is what it is. It looks like what it is. I chose this one because I had equipment with me and wanted on site parking - not always easy in London. The area is full of blocks of flats and is certainly not an affluent area. The parking was outside the front of the hotel so I was slightly worried about the car. The pub on the ground floor is clearly a favourite with locals who seems to know each other. A friendly and slightly bawdy atmosphere. Nice to get a reasonably priced drink to take up to my room. The staff were really friendly and the room was surprisingly large, the bed was comfortable though the quilt was rather thin and flat with an old looking cover. There were charging sockets by the bed - a good bonus for me. The Wifi refused to connect for more than 5 secs but I used my hotspot to do what I needed to do work wise. The en suite was small but clean and functional and the shower was nice and hot with choice of overhead or removable already head. There was a kitchen down the hall with a dryer, toaster etc. £66 for a night in London with parking. I could hear some noise from the pub downstairs but once it had closed it was surprisingly quiet. Basic, but clean and friendly. I will probably stay there again

Disappointing

Unfortunately my stay was poor, i had to be up reasonably early as i was working in the area and the hotel staff were bringing friends/pub regulars up through the hotel after closing time and they were very loud a little picky by me? Possibly, but it woke me up (11pm) and it showed no respect for the paying guests
