Good location, we enjoyed a comfortable single night stay at Balham Lodge. We were on the top floor, where there is compromised headroom on one side of the bed. But the bed and good quality bedding allowed for a good night's sleep.

Balham Lodge Overnight Stay

We had a lovely stay here. We were visiting our daughter at UAL so just a short walk to her accommodation. Nice time exploring Balaham. The room was clean, tidy and comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend and will stay again.

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.
