It’s handy for me for work as I work in either Clapham or Norbury and both are within walking distance from Balham Lodge

Was give a single bed instead of a double, with no lift to the fourth floor. Toilet was so small that my shoulders touched each side of the wall when seated.

The staff are very nice and my room was upgraded for free. Room was cleaned everyday. The bedsheets were not as clean as I imagined. Overall it is a very economic and good place to stay.

Delightful spot at the edge of Tooting Common green, and short walk to Balham proper, with the train and local pubs, restaurants and shopping. Rooms are charming and well kept, modest and attractive. The building is charming Victorian brickwork, and you have all the mod cons inside. Great to stay if you're going to be in Streatham, Wandsworth, Tooting, Balham, etc. Very walkable and pleasant.

Great location
Concierge were friendly and polite, useful local information. Not the cleanest yet the room was serviced every day. They were generous with the tea and coffee provision. Shower has gel dispenser and sink has soap dispenser.

Great location for staying in South London - great value for what you get. One suggestion for people request the room before you check in. It was sold out and we did not request and we had top floor (no elevator) and street facing. Rooms 7/8 might have been better if we had asked in advance

Very comfortable with extremely helpful and courteous staff. Only minor downside was a very small shower. I would use again and recommend to others.

As depicted on the photos - very charming and comfortable little guest house in a quiet location. Staff were super kind and helpful. Bit of a walk from the tube station.

Comfy in Balham…
All three staff that I interacted with were really friendly and helpful. Room was large, clean, comfortable and nicely arranged. I had a kettle, coffee, tea, milk and a private shower room. Next to the common and an easy walk (or 315 bus) from Balham High Street, the tube and trains. Great for a walk on the common and for cafes and shops. Bring your own water and breakfast as required. All good, would stay again.

Great stay at Balham Lodge
The Hotel / guest house is a well maintained lovely old Victorian building in a great location. The staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I was staying for work and would definitely stay here again for work or leisure. The only improvement (even though I've scored them 10/10 would be to offer breakfast :-)

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Balham Lodge. The staff were amazing! Very helpful and courteous! They went out of their way to make my stay very enjoyable. I would definitely stay there again if I happen to be in the area. The town was also very delightful and an easy 10 minute walk from the lodge.

Great small room, perfect for solo traveler. In a nice smaller neighborhood away from all the tourist traps of central London. Property itself is very charming and well taken care of. Staff are very friendly. Worth going a little out of your way to stay at this place, especially if you're on a budget.

Excellent place to stay. Clean, recently painted and well cared for. Everything in good working order. Fan by each side of the bed. Every staff member I met was lovely and polite. Was pleasantly surprised for the cost. Highly recommend.
