Great place to stay, close to parks, historic sites, the tube, clean, friendly and helpful staff, and great value if you’re into function over frills.

Clean Room

Had a lovely stay here over a long weekend. Near to a bus stop which was handy for access to the station. Great sized room with everything you need. Staff were always on hand when required and made up the room when needed to a very high standard

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.

Staff very friendly, room very clean and very comfortable to stay in.

Arrived late, left early. No drama

Perfect for anyone looking for a nights stay, clean room and fresh bedding. Also had sky tv and USB ports for charging your phone.

Plenty of parking options

The hall, stairs and room are all spotless. I love the decor too. The staff on reception are genuinely welcoming, courteous and efficient.

Rooms and public areas always clean . Always given a warm friendly reception

Loved it! Great staff!

An excellent find! This was an outstanding hotel despite only booking for a one night stay. The room was clean, warm, comfortable with everything we needed. The building is stunning and the member of staff on duty was friendly and helpful. The hotel was very quiet despite being on a busy main road. There is a bus stop just nearby but it is only a 10 minute walk to Balham station/centre. We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area. Many thanks

Was lovely comfortable and warm but im a stickler for cleanncrisp sheets. Sadly the fitted sheet just looked old and stained. Time for new I’d say!

The staff are lovely and check in and out was super quick. The room was lovely and warm when I arrived and I slept really well

I had a confirmed, prepaid booking at Balham Lodge for my family. After a long drive with our two-year-old, we arrived shortly before ten in the evening. We were told the room had been given away minutes earlier to someone who booked later that night. This was not a mix-up. They knowingly handed our room to another guest and left us with nothing. The receptionist was the same person who, the day before, insisted the booking could not be cancelled. Twenty-four hours later he was checking in a later booking and informing me our room was gone. That tells you everything you need to know about how this place operates. We were left outside at night with a restless child, searching for somewhere else to stay. We didn’t secure another hotel until close to midnight and had to pay far more for it. The disruption derailed the start of our weekend and forced us to spend the next morning recovering instead of doing what we came to London for. This establishment cannot be trusted to honour a confirmed reservation. Anyone expecting basic professionalism should avoid it.

Yes very clean and tidy. Staff always there to help

Clean room, easy parking, friendly staff.

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.

Staff were great and room was very clean

We were on the top floor so the water pressure wasn’t great - had a very awkward shower. Sloped ceiling and the WiFi didn’t reach us so had to walk bent over half the time and go downstairs to use the internet. It was quite clean but the mattresses seemed pretty budget. Was quirky to look at and good access. Neighbourhood seemed pretty quiet.
