The hotel room was small and stiflingly hot, with minimal space around the bed, despite being touted as a 'super room' facing the high street. The two-night stay was uncomfortable due to the room temperature being over 30 degrees and no way to cool it down.

I found the hotel's location fantastic, right next to Balham tube and mainline stations, making it easy to get around. The rooms were clean, warm, and comfortable, though the lack of air conditioning made it a bit hot. The dining experience was satisfactory, but the boxed breakfast was limited. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel had some ups and downs during my stay. The location was convenient being right next to Balham tube station and close to various stores and dining options. The rooms were uncomfortably warm without proper cooling, causing a bit of a restless night, and the check-in experience was slightly delayed past the expected time. However, the service was excellent with friendly and helpful staff, particularly Mo at check out. The dining options, although limited to a box meal, provided a decent start to the day, and the hotel facilities were satisfactory.

The room temperature was over 30 degrees with no way to cool it down, making it uncomfortable for a light sleeper. The room wasn't ready until 1 pm instead of 12 pm, which was a bit tiring after a long journey.

The hotel is conveniently located near Balham tube station and surrounded by shops and restaurants, making it ideal for exploring the area. However, the room was cramped and uncomfortable due to lack of air conditioning and space, leading to a challenging sleeping experience. The service was commendable, with Mo at checkout being particularly helpful, although the proximity to the railway disturbed my rest. Dining options were limited, and the absence of hospitality trays in rooms was a downside.

The hotel is conveniently located next to Balham station, offering easy access to central London. While the rooms are well soundproofed, some lack windows and can get hot. The service was friendly and helpful, although a small fan left in the room was not very effective. The area boasts a variety of dining options, but the hotel has stopped providing hospitality trays. Overall, a good choice for those wanting a central location with some room considerations.
