a warm, cozy retreat with friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere

Friendly staff, cozy room.

Friendly staff, clean room, but the shower didn't drain well and no fridge.

I had a pleasant stay, with a delightful room and clean facilities. The charming decor took me back in time. Breakfast options were limited, but the overall experience was wonderful.

Victorian building with original features like a stunning stained glass front door and an impressive staircase. Rooms spotlessly clean with modern shower fittings and the absolute bonus of opening windows for fresh air.

Rooms can be on the smaller side. one felt a bit cramped and had a bed that seemed too small for a couple. The walls are thin, so light sleepers might hear traffic or other guests, and there could be a few more hooks in the bathrooms for convenience. Breakfast choices are decent, but the lack of options like chocolate cereal seems to cause unnecessary frustration.

Charming, Charming, Charming

I had the most delightful two-night stay! The lounge area is perfect for unwinding with a cozy atmosphere. My room was a bright and clean Standard Double, and the location made it easy to explore and find my way around town.

100% recommend 💖✨

I absolutely loved my stay at Balham Lodge! The location couldn't be better—just a short walk to the tube and local attractions. The room was immaculate with a cozy seating area that made it feel like home. The staff was friendly and always ready to assist, which made for a welcoming atmosphere. Plus, the free WiFi and tea-making facilities were a nice touch!

Limited breakfast options.

I had a lovely stay at Balham Lodge. The room was tidy and cozy, perfect for unwinding after exploring London. The staff greeted me warmly. the lack of a fridge slightly affected my experience. a charming base for my adventures.

Clean rooms and friendly atmosphere

I stayed for 1 night in a Standard Double Room and found the space to be very clean and well-maintained, with plenty of tea and coffee supplies. The staff created a welcoming environment. the breakfast was a bit disappointing, especially the scrambled eggs.

I had a great stay for one night in a classic family room. The location was convenient, just a 10-minute walk to the tube. My room was clean and organized daily. I enjoyed the affordable espresso in the lounge. Warm welcome.

Room 13 feels a bit dark, mostly due to the lack of brighter decor. I could have used more space for the kettle, as its placement made it hard to access the power outlet, and the shower room is snug—even for someone average-sized. The bed's firmness left some uncertainty regarding comfort, with my companion finding it hard, while I had no issue. Noise from nearby traffic could be bothersome in other rooms, so be mindful if you’re sensitive to that.

pleasant stay but minor hiccups

The staff were exceptionally kind and accommodating, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. The room was clean and well-equipped, making our two-night stay comfortable.

A Wonderful Stay with Great Local Dining!

I thoroughly enjoyed my four-night stay. The charming local eateries nearby, especially the cozy pub around the corner, added special touches to my evenings. I loved the clean, elegantly furnished room, and the staff were exceptionally welcoming. Pack an umbrella for unexpected rain!
