The Bedford Balham

Really nice old building and the staff are very friendly, but not suitable for a family as the bar area is incredibly loud until past 2 AM. Rooms have been done to a nice standard but some fixtures and fittings are tired/broken.

We enjoyed our stay at The Bedford very much and it was a great spot to entertain friends and family during our 3 night stay. Excellent for transport links with the Mainline train and Underground stations literally on ghe doorstep. Only issues we had 1)being on the 3rd floor and the lift only servicing up to the 2nd floor (not clear from the online booking) and if like us you are over 60 with 2 suitcases it was chalenging so request a 2nd floor room. 2) we found one smal cockroach in the room hopefully he was a loner.

Last minute booking as disappointed with a different property I had stayed at. Coupled with the fact I have a broken foot and travelling with a wheelchair, probably not the best visit to see family. The Bedford is a brilliant find, and the staff could not have been more accommodating - thanks Ethan! The room I was given was incredibly spacious with a huge en-suite which was perfect for wheelchair access, and right next to the lift. Nicely decorated and a very comfortable bed. This is my new go-to next time I visit. The Bedford is a gem!!!
