Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.

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.

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

Amazing property, really nice manager and all the bar staff were so helpful- I asked for a special request to have the towels folded and she really outdid herself! The room was absolutely gorgeous and we loved every minute, the bar food downstairs was also fantastic. Nothing but positivity and really made our 3rd anniversary worth it <33

Nice stay

Nice bedroom with excellent bathroom. Only criticism would be that we would prefer a king size bed as the one in our room was only a double.

Disliked: Amenities
This hotel is over a very tired and noisy pub. Rooms were clean, well apportioned. Thankfully we didn’t spend a lot of time at the property as we were walking a charity marathon overnight but were forewarned about live music and there were ear plugs on the bedside table. £149 and no breakfast - very expensive - the property smells of beer, fried foods and bleach.
