I think the idea of having more conversational labels is useful when it does not make things even more complex. In this case, user kind of knows at what time she will arrive or wants to communicate a defined value at least (since the field is not mandatory). And, as Josh points out, it could take even more clicks :)
sliders are fine but too advanced as interaction in my opinion (I have a pretty wide and various audience) and I would not risk that after some focused test sessions. Moreover, sliders tend to be not so discrete as dropdown lists are: there is more room for errors and you can't see what you are selecting. I am focusing on the double dropdown list because having just one dropdown menu would even force the user to scroll the page: since it is positioned quite at the bottom of the page, I can imagine people filling the form and not scrolling the elements quite enough... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
