Would highly recommend
Pros:

Great location outside of city centre but with easy tube access. Local shops provide everything you need, although would recommend a 2 stop tube trip to Balham for even bigger range of shops/supplies.
Pub underneath is great but does not create noise that can be heard in the rooms. Great access to Clapham Common

A lovely hotel that I will stay in again and recommend to friends.
Pros:

The room was super clean; the staff were very friendly and helpful. I'd happily stay here again. It's well placed for London; the meals are tasty and it was great that we could dine in the hotel if we didn't want to go out.

Cons:

I felt the quality of the granola at breakfast could be improved.

First class destination if you want a quality hotel that feels a bit different to the big chains.
Pros:

Beautiful, bespoke room. Different to the usual standard hotel rooms. And the breakfast was excellent! Staff were extremely helpful as I have particular needs. They made everything very easy which was much appreciated.

Cons:

Mmm, nothing comes to mind. It’s a small, tight car park but I got a space both nights.

Pros:

The staff were all lovely, very helpful and friendly
The rooms were fantastic, I was lucky enough to view 3 rooms and they were all unique. The attention to detail was incredible. I usually stay in big name hotels, that are cold with no personality, in future when I visit my son I will be staying here..
