Anything else I should add…?
Is this too much or too little?

It's probably doable. Can YOU do what you are asking for in 2 hours (remember it's your house; sometimes it takes a few visits to get into a routine)?

I think like everything, it depends on what you mean by, for instance a full clean of the bathroom and its size. For some people a full clean would be a really deep clean by other peoples standards and could take 2 hours in itself. OTOH a swish over the sink/bath/loo, mop the floor of an already basically clean bathroom is 20 minutes tops. The hall could mean washing all the skirting boards, wiping down the walls, spending ages picking up shoes/coats, dusting the ceiling - or mopping the floor.

I think the best way to probably gauge is to time yourself performing your list to your expectations... And if some things are left undone by the 2 hour mark, you may have to make some tasks something they should do every other time.

I think it is reasonable, but if not you could prioritise the kitchen, bathrooms and living room and do the hall and doors yourself? Or request it as an add-on if they have time at the end

How big are your bathrooms and how clean are they already?

It takes a decent amount of time to properly clean two, and is your bannister quite decorative?

I think you're asking quite a lot for 2 hours personally.

Sorry I just saw the date. Guessing it's been done.

Is this for one person, or is there a team of 2 or more?
