Great location and price
The hotel was in a great location. Good price. The staff were very good at helping us if required. Even amending their system as we had 2 bookings for a 3 day period that they helped ensure we didnt need to change rooms

Very good experience overall, staff was excellent.
Very hot days in London, and you could definitely feel the heat in the room, but nothing terrible.

Nice Room
Nice quiet area, room was big enough for me being a single. It was a very hot night but the fan provided helped a little. The guy on reception was great, even popped outside in the garden occasionally for a chat, great customer service. Thank you.

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.
