    A little further away from where I would I have liked to have been, but worth it. A lovely sized room considering it was a single, spotlessly clean and lovely staff who couldn’t have been nicer if they tried. Great value for money, I highly recommend

    Was in a room in the eaves, which was very warm. Like to have the windows open for freah air, but was very noisy, from the traffic as it was on a main road. If you are a light sleeper I suggest ear plugs! Fans were provided in the room.

    Lovely big house converted into 18 rooms. Staff very helpful and freindly. Quite a walk from Balham Station, but ok.

    Relaxing stay, especially if you're an early bird

    The location could be worse, but it definitely is a bit far from most stuff: no restaurants, bars, supermarkets or really any other thing besides houses in the nearby: this is a strictly residential area and you need to take the bus to get anywhere. My main complaint though is the light that flooded in from the window since 5 am, making it impossible to sleep. I think they should really invest in some system to keep the room darker, because not everyone wants to be up at 6 in the morning when they're on holiday.

    The room was small but quite cosy, and it was clean. The shower was pretty large instead, which I didn't mind. The bed was definitely comfortable and it had sockets near it. Staff was polite and helpful and -I think- available 24/7. Even though my room faced the main street, it was never noisy, and the surrounding area in general is very quiet. There's a pretty big park (Tooting Common) just beside the Lodge, and a bus stop just outside the door.

    I had to change rooms as the first one smelled quite bad on my arrival, though I will admit the staff did everything that they could to resolve the matter.

    The reception lady was incredibly welcoming and lovely.

    I went for a quick 2-nighter, so having things in my trip agenda happen fast and effective was one of the focus points. The staff was great and flexible on the check-in, the location in the green quiet area allowed me both to have a good night sleep and enjoy the morning stroll to the tube, and the connection to the city centre is reliable and fairly fast!

    Would have preferred to prebook parking due to bringing a disabled family member- but parking was available so all OK. Our room looked onto a wall of next door.

    Lovely house with outdoor and indoor seating areas and very helpful staff in a nice location.

    A very pleasant part of London to stay in, in a pretty, well equipped hotel.

    The atmosphere there was very pleasant, but it's an older building so there is some noise from upstairs rooms etc. Also there is a car park in the back so I was awoken early by early departing guests.

    The location was quiet, leafy and green, a very pleasant neighbourhood to stay in with lots of nearby restaurants and shops. The bathroom shower was good, the basic amenities were everything needed. Very pretty decor.
