Great stay with very friendly staff and frequent cleaning/room turnover. It’s a lovely building in a really convenient location, but it is on a fairly busy road and whilst the rooms were nice, they aren’t the most modern. Downside were doors closing noisily in the morning and rooms being soooo warm (it was during the heatwave, but upgraded fans or aircon might be needed). I’d definitely recommend still.

The accommodation was very clean, comfortable and well maintained. The en-suite is tight, but perfectly usable and the shower was very good. I only stayed one night, but the guest house was really good value, a short walk to the centre of Balham and access to transport links to the centre of London. Highly recommended if you want functional not luxurious and very reasonably priced.

We had a friendly welcome for our 2-day stay. The bedroom was ‘twee’ but with plenty of room to move around and a decent wardrobe. Tea and coffee making facilities were provided (remember to bring milk!). The bed was comfortable and on-site parking available for a small charge. The location was close enough to walk to the centre of Balham. Overall, a pleasant stay.
