Brilliant quiet stay above a traditional pub. 10/10
Pros:

What a great pub! We had expected it to be noisy in the room, especially when ear plugs were provided next to the bed but even though there was 50 people Irish dancing and a rock band performing downstairs, we couldn’t hear a thing from our room.
The pub itself has friendly staff, good pub grub and guests receive 33% off the food bill too!
With sky tv for all the sports and a good selection of drinks, it’s the place to be especially with the live music on too.
The room was modern, clean and comfortable and I couldn’t fault it
They stored our bags after we checked out too

Cons:

I can’t find fault, well done. I would highly recommend

Quirky place - nice change!
Pros:

Handy location in Balham. Has A/C! Quirky building, very unusual, feels a bit like a blast back to the 1920s in terms of corridor decorations but the room itself is modern. OK value for money.

Cons:

It's quite noisy until around 9/10pm but the noise does stop.
