Clean and convenient

Stayed for 2 nights while visiting with friends for the weekend. Incredibly convenient location and the room was clean. I will note that it was about 27c degrees and the window in my room did not open, so it was very warm. The hotel did provide a small fan which helped slightly. Prior to arrival I saw lots of reviews about the noise from the train station, but I did not experience any issues with noise in room 108.

Not a 5 star hotel but gave 5 star because it was perfect for what we needed. Very clean, staff were helpful and friendly. It was so convenient to be right by the tube. Had no problem with noise.

Disappointing

The rooms were tatty, noisy from traffic and water pipes the matress had metal frame exposed so had to sleep on duvet. No hand soap. Left door hanger out requesting clean towels and tea/coffee to be resupplied but didn't so asked reception who said they only clean rooms once a week. We were there for 3 nights, out from 09:00-22:00 so just wanted basics. They came on our final day and changed bed which was kind but not necessary, clean towels etc which was great.

I had a pleasant stay at the Travelodge here in Balham. Fiyaz was an amazing receptionist and catered to all of mine and my friends needs. Thank you to Fiyaz for all his great tips and help. It’s a shame the trip was almost overshadowed by one of the cleaners who failed to knock on the bedroom door first before entering my room whilst I was undressed!

Close to station

Just an overnight stay, room on second floor next to railway line but minimal noise,certainly not enough to keep us awake. Room very clean,comfy bed and lovely soft towels. Staff both on arrival and departure very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

A Nice Surprise

I can't say I was looking forward to my stay - was a location and cost choice for work, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a Travelodge, so no hairdryer or toiletries beyond caustic soap, but it was clean, comfortable and quiet and the staff on the desk were lovely. So I would use it again if I needed to be in Balham.
