Nice basic hotel in pretty & quiet street. Good location for visiting family who live 20 mins walk across tooting common. This is stones throw from the common & its cafe. Set in nice residential area. Taken a star off as mattress was a bit hard for me but to be fair I have got a very soft one at home that I’m used to. Room bit basic but ok for 1 or 2 nights.

Nice, clean, well presented, and warm room and very pleasant staff. Balham has lots of options for dining, feels safe and is easy to get to, especially by the tube. The guest house is only a short walk (approximately 10 minutes) from Balham centre and tube. I have stayed here previously and will definitely use again.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very small, which was usable; however, the shower and bathroom space was so narrow that it was difficult to wash and get ready. I enjoyed the proximity to the park, restaurants, and tube. The lodge felt safe and was definitely a good value.
