Una experiencia distinta

9.0

El lugar es lo que nosotros conocemos por una pensión. El trato del personal es excepcional.

− Puedes mejorar: la moqueta (pero pq personalmente no me gusta), el somier de la cama que sonaba mucho pero no me.dolio la espalda. Y mejorar la limpieza del baño.

Goed budget hotel, goede OV-bereikbaarheid en vriendelijk personeel.

8.0

Het hotel heeft geen pretenties om meer te zijn dan een budget hotel. Daarbij biedt het faciliteiten zoals een gezamenlijke keuken en een koelkast op eigen kamer, om de kosten van verblijf in Londen te kunnen beperken. De schoonmaak service was uitstekend en het personeel heel vriendelijk, behulpzaam en flexibel.

− De wijk is duidelijk aan vernieuwing toe. Daar staat tegenover dat het OV dichtbij is: een bushalte tegenover het hotel met bussen om de 5-10 minuten naar het metrostation en naar het centrum.

Brilliant stay !

10.0

Fantastic stay in the Hour Glass Hotel..Our double room was very nicely decorated and the bathroom seemed to be new in our double -en-suite .There was a mini-fridge and a fan which was very welcome especially on hot days . A TV and comfortable bed and everything is very clean .The owner is very welcoming and the pub at the property is a nice place to enjoy a drink with the lovely friendly locals.A bus stop outside takes you straight to the Tower Bridge or you can walk it in about 30 minutes.I We look forward to staying here again next time we visit London. Deb and Naz

− Only good things to say about our stay !
