Hour Glass Hotel

All important thing that I needed for the weekend trip.

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.

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.
