I could hear every step of the person in the room above me which became quite annoying. Sound insulation in the floor could be better. Struggled to close the curtains and when I opened them one hook became detached. Apart from that all fine.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I enjoyed the quiet rooms in a quiet neighborhood for 3 and then 4 nights. Staff was very friendly. The rooms were clean, the first room the shower did not work but it was fixed the next day. The second room had a mattress that might be too soft for someone with back problems, but it was ok for me. The hotel is close to public transportation and convenient. It was a nice place to be.

Balham Lodge

Once again had a pleasant overnight stay at Balham Lodge. I was a returning customer. The decor is fresh and attractively decorated and both my room and the reception areas were spotlessly clean. Altogether it makes for a comfortable stay.
