Really nice, clean hotel with very friendly staff. Convenient location for me that day. Very close to Tooting Bec Common and a ~10min walk to Balham station/tube.

Liked: Staff & service
Greeted by a lovely man at the front desk, helped us with our transport into London. Room was pretty spacious, double bed was comfy but sofa bed was average - very thin “mattress” and could just do with renewing and seat cushions could do with a deep clean. Overall not a bad stay, decent location

Great value for money and convenient for access to Balham tube station. The room was very hot during the hot weather. The fan in the room was very welcome.

Good location, we enjoyed a comfortable single night stay at Balham Lodge. We were on the top floor, where there is compromised headroom on one side of the bed. But the bed and good quality bedding allowed for a good night's sleep.

Everything was great apart from the Wi-Fi which is not good enough to stream anything and signal doesn’t reach all rooms. I’d recommend investment in this so that all rooms have good signal and the speed is sufficient for streaming.

Perfect post-theatre stay

Loved it here, super handy for an overnight after the theatre. Quick and easy walk to/from the station, rooms were nice if a little bit cramped. Really friendly staff, would definitely stay here again.
