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.

Nice basic hotel in pretty & quiet street. Good location for visiting family who live 20 mins walk across tooting common. This is stones throw from the common & its cafe. Set in nice residential area. Taken a star off as mattress was a bit hard for me but to be fair I have got a very soft one at home that I’m used to. Room bit basic but ok for 1 or 2 nights.
