Decent little stay

Good location, decent food in the pub. 2 second walk to Balham station with direct trains to Victoria and Clapham as well as the tube. Only downside was its a bit noisy on a weekend as they have a literal nightclub and pub below but wasn’t bad enough to not sleep.

Love the vibe of this hotel. Staff, pub and club are trendy and fun. Comedy show was fun, but club was noisy on weekends until 2:00 am. Kind of a quirky place but like it overall.

We had a really lovely stay here for our wedding in London. The rooms were beautiful and clean and staff were friendly and helpful. My mother's room was closer to the rail tracks so hers was quite noisy at times but she used earplugs and was able to sleep. Rooms felt safe and bed was comfortable.

The place was beautifully decorated but not very clean (toothpaste marks on taps and dust under table). It would’ve been nice to have a mirror in the bedroom as there are no mirrors near plugs and robes. Otherwise it was very comfy, dark and quiet so I slept very well.

The hotel does not look like the advertised photos. The staff was basically nowhere to be found my entire stay and I had no wifi at all during my trip. There is supposedly a lift but it's inconvenient, I personally would not stay here again. It was old and quiet and almost scary. Hotel was quite run down and that would've been fine had I any interactions with the staff here. When I first arrived I could not even enter the building and had to ask a bartender to look for someone for me to enter. The only thing I liked was the area around the hotel, which had coffee shops, a supermarket, and restaurants nearby.

Amazing property, really nice manager and all the bar staff were so helpful- I asked for a special request to have the towels folded and she really outdid herself! The room was absolutely gorgeous and we loved every minute, the bar food downstairs was also fantastic. Nothing but positivity and really made our 3rd anniversary worth it <33

Character and warmth

The hotel is in a lovely location and has a lot of character, close by the tube. The room is excellent and comfy bed, lovely decor. Only let down and the manager on shift was at times, very unhelpful and I myself felt, quite rude. Apart from that, excellent place to stay

Lovely stay

A nice night watching the fantastic music downstairs and enjoying a friendly London pub. The Bedroom was roomy and well provided. Bed was very comfy and no street or Rail noise which was a big plus. Lots of places around it to eat or drink at, if the Bedford's menu doesn't appeal . Good price too

Staff were welcoming, helpful and efficient. Room is small but clean, comfortable and charming. Mine overlooked the railway tracks but was surprisingly not noisy enough to keep me awake. Live music also not too noisy on the top floor. Elevator goes to 1st floor only, then there is noone to help you haul your suitcase the rest of the way. Very quick walk to trains. Lots of coffee shops and casual dining nearby. If you want to be in Balham, then this is a decent option.

This is a pub/hotel. It is a pub with a small number of boutique rooms. If you want a templated hotel with all rooms identical then stay at a Premier Inn, Travelodge or Holiday Inn Express. It has character. We had a fantastic bathroom, very comfortable bed and great food in the pub. A twenty minute underground trip into the West End made an ideal location.
