The Hour Glass Hotel is a family-run budget hotel close to central London. The accommodation is located above a traditional Victorian London pub - the original fixtures and fittings, give it that great atmosphere found in many English pubs. The Elephant & Castle and Kennington tube stations are a 15-minute walk away, a bus stop is opposite, providing easy access into central London.
There are a number of restaurants and clubs including the Ministry of Sound in Elephant and Castle, which can be reached in 5 minutes' drive. Southwark is a great choice for travelers interested in culture, monuments and food. Burgess Park with its playground and barbeque facilities is a 2-minute walk away.

I didn't expect much, as I booked here in a last minute rush, but it was pretty awful. The room smelled like dirty feet, and occasionally it smelled like there was a gas leak somewhere. After a night I started to get small itchy bumps all over my body. I left the hotel 4 days ago, and I'm still covered in bites and itching like crazy. There must have been bed bugs, which doesn't surprise me as the sheets seemed very old and less than hygienic. The staff were very friendly and helpful, so its a shame to give such a poor rating, but it really comes down to hygiene in the end.

Me and three others stayed here for 1 night last night (11th Dec). I didn't expect alot from the hotel due to it being a 'budget' Hotel.
However I expected it to at least be clean.
The room was absolutley filthy!
There were old tissues left down the side of the bed as well as thick dirt and grime
I tried to wash my hands and the water was yellow!!
The corridors smelt awful, the whole place was just disgusting.
We also were bitten in the bed by bugs.
The only good thing I can say about the hotel is the lady who checked us in was lovely.
THATS IT.
The hotel was also in a run down area which

Wonderful pub and hotel. Rooms are exactly what you need while on a short trip to London, while the pub is in a perfect location for travelling into the centre. The landlord and his team were amazing, and comendably professional to deal with. I would highly recommend this place to anyone is looking a for a comfortable, affordable, and convenient location to stay while visiting London.

The staff are friendly and helpful, the location is ideal to explore London, there is a bus stop outside which takes you to Elephant Castle underground station but you can easily walk it there in ten minutes, or you can catch the bus and get off at London Bridge, which did not take long. The bathroom and room were clean. It was excellent value for London. The pub next to/underneath the rooms was cheap and the locals were friendly, especially with my husband. Have seen some reviews mentioning how the area looks, you need to open your mind and realise that iner-city living does not always mean that
