Brilliant stay - great value, great food, great vibe. Would recommend
Pros:

Lovely building with beautiful interiors. I arrived a little late (7:30pm) and the pub had a great atmosphere - a good crowd in considering it was a Monday.
I didn't realise there was a separate hotel entrance, even though it's a bright red door with "Hotel" above it. I went straight to the bar and was taken to reception to check in.
A third off food if you eat in the pub - which I did. Good menu and tasty food.
There was a dance class happening in a room near mine; I didn't actually mind it - it sounded fun! The room comes with ear plugs, which I'm guessing is for that reason, as well as being next to Balham station. Again, this didn't bother me, but if you want complete silence it maybe isn't for you - or ask for a room away from the tracks if possible.
I was in room 2 - very spacious with a huge shower and bed. I slept very well too.

Cons:

The only real downside was the hairdryer - loud and lacking in power. I reported it, so hopefully it'll be resolved for the next guest.

Beautiful art deco room with kind, friendly service
Pros:

Beautiful, large art deco-styled room perfectly located above an excellent pub, near local restaurants and transport. Staff were amazing - they upgraded our room and gave us early check in, which was extra lovely after we had just flown 24 hours from Australia.
