Staff were welcoming, helpful and efficient. Room is small but clean, comfortable and charming. Mine overlooked the railway tracks but was surprisingly not noisy enough to keep me awake. Live music also not too noisy on the top floor. Elevator goes to 1st floor only, then there is noone to help you haul your suitcase the rest of the way. Very quick walk to trains. Lots of coffee shops and casual dining nearby. If you want to be in Balham, then this is a decent option.

Restful in Balham

The staff were efficient in checking me in but also sent me a message to tell me that they've moved me to room 14 in response to my request for a quiet room. Room was on the third floor and after the long journey to the hotel as London had tube strikes, my dread became foundless as I managed to use the lift at the back of the pub. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, the AC working, towels fluffy and clean and the coffee from Nespresso machine strong. Thank you for a good night's rest.

We had a really lovely stay here for our wedding in London. The rooms were beautiful and clean and staff were friendly and helpful. My mother's room was closer to the rail tracks so hers was quite noisy at times but she used earplugs and was able to sleep. Rooms felt safe and bed was comfortable.

Very nice

Nothing unexpected. Just know it’s a Pub below and there is street noise. I brought a fan. Bedding comfortable. They do room cleaning daily. Very clean. We had an issue with sink not draining and they fixed it right away after we hung the “please service this room” tag. There is a very small fridge. Refillable water bottles. Small pod Nespresso. A tea kettle and variety of tea bags and milk and sugar packs. There is nice shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion. They do not have wash cloths “face cloths” and do not know what they are. There is a Sainsbury’s grocery store very close you can get anything you need. The food in the pub is excellent and you get a discount with room key. Close to train for Underground and International rail service. Overall very nice and I would definitely stay again!!

Love the vibe of this hotel. Staff, pub and club are trendy and fun. Comedy show was fun, but club was noisy on weekends until 2:00 am. Kind of a quirky place but like it overall.

Decent little stay

Good location, decent food in the pub. 2 second walk to Balham station with direct trains to Victoria and Clapham as well as the tube. Only downside was its a bit noisy on a weekend as they have a literal nightclub and pub below but wasn’t bad enough to not sleep.

Character and warmth

The hotel is in a lovely location and has a lot of character, close by the tube. The room is excellent and comfy bed, lovely decor. Only let down and the manager on shift was at times, very unhelpful and I myself felt, quite rude. Apart from that, excellent place to stay
