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.
lovely property, just what we needed for a london visit, was able to take the bus right across the road to go where we needed to go, would love to stay again!

The hall, stairs and room are all spotless. I love the decor too. The staff on reception are genuinely welcoming, courteous and efficient.
Excellent hotel with very friendly and helpful staff and always a great price. Stay there regularly and will continue to do so. A hidden gem and would highly recommend.
