What guests think
At The Bedford Balham - Live Music Venue, guests praise stylish, comfortable rooms, a lively pub with good food, and excellent transport links, while recurring downsides include weekend noise from the venue and inconsistent housekeeping, plus occasional maintenance problems.
Many guests highlight very comfortable beds, attractive bathrooms, and boutique décor, though room size and quality can vary. Service is often friendly and helpful, but reception can be limited, the lift doesn’t reach all floors, and there is no on-site breakfast. Expect a characterful pub-hotel experience with vibrant events rather than a quiet, full-service stay.

Facilities
On-site pub and live music venue with events create a lively atmosphere; some nights run late. The lift does not serve all floors, so upper rooms require stairs.

Good location, decent food in the pub. 2 second walk to Balham station with direct trains to Victoria and Clapham as well as the tube. Only downside was its a bit noisy on a weekend as they have a literal nightclub and pub below but wasn’t bad enough to not sleep.

Noise from the pub and function room was very loud. The lady on the service desk wasn't informative I was stood outside a lift for a good while not knowing I had to put a code in first to operate it. The downstairs toilets smell really bad. Room was decorated well but I wouldn't stay there again for that price.

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.

Hotel is such a cool location, close to the station and transport links. We stayed from Sunday- Wed so the pub closed earlier although we heard music in the day time. If you are looking for a hotel room you can spend a lot of time in this might not be for you as I can imagine you can hear music downstairs at the weekend. The room was a bit dusty in places and a bit worn but clean enough and serviced every day. I had the feeling the hotel side was a side note to the pub. I say all of this but we wanted to explore London and this hotel was absolutely perfect for it- the room decor and the pub itself felt like such a unique space and the staff were all really friendly. We would absolutely stay again as it was reasonably priced and again an amazing location and so close to a tube station and busy neighbourhood.

We had a great stay and the room was lovely - very comfortable and nicely decorated. I would say that if you’re not comfortable walking into a busy pub at night time (even on a weekday) this place probably isn’t for you but for us it was fine. The rooms were separate from the pub area and we didn’t have any problem with noise etc. Only issue was that the hotel was aware that the air conditioning wasn’t working for the 2 nights of our stay but still couldn’t offer fans or anything instead.

Staff were welcoming, helpful and efficient. Room is small but clean, comfortable and charming. Mine overlooked the railway tracks but was surprisingly not noisy enough to keep me awake. Live music also not too noisy on the top floor. Elevator goes to 1st floor only, then there is noone to help you haul your suitcase the rest of the way. Very quick walk to trains. Lots of coffee shops and casual dining nearby. If you want to be in Balham, then this is a decent option.

Great value for money - rooms are large boutique designer style close to the over ground but well insulated and not an issue for sleeping - large bar area that has a lift directly to the bedrooms - restaurant very good - nonbrrakfast but recommend Milk a local restaurant for breakfast which is a few hundred yards away - bags of atmosphere and the staff ( especially Hannah) were excellent and so helpful with bags etc… will definitely be back

We were given a room with an accessible bathroom so it looked nothing like the pictures on the website. Asked to change rooms but was told they were fully booked. Our room also hadn’t been cleaned properly. Hair and mould in the bathroom, half drunk drinks in the fridge and dirty glasses. Carpet in the lift looked like it hadn’t been hovered for months.

The staff were efficient in checking me in but also sent me a message to tell me that they've moved me to room 14 in response to my request for a quiet room. Room was on the third floor and after the long journey to the hotel as London had tube strikes, my dread became foundless as I managed to use the lift at the back of the pub. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, the AC working, towels fluffy and clean and the coffee from Nespresso machine strong. Thank you for a good night's rest.

We were able to leave our bags at the hotel before check in which was great and when went back about 9pm the lady who checked us in was really helpful and friendly. When we got to the room it was much smaller than I expected but fine for me and my daughter. It was quite battered (chips on the paint, marks on the tiles and flooring etc) but overall it was ok. The bed was pretty comfortable. The worst thing however was the noise! I know it’s over a pub but other reviews said it was sound proofed. We were on the floor above the pub and lying in bed felt like I may as well have been in the pub. I could hear every word to the songs playing and the bass was practically shaking the bed! They provided ear plugs so they obviously know it’s noisy but they didn’t help much. Luckily my daughter was shattered and fell asleep but I could not sleep until after 12. It was quite annoying after a long day in London. The location was great, close to the tube and train stations and Balham was lovely for a wander. We went to Gail’s for breakfast which was incredible.

The Bedford is a pub with a small number of boutique rooms. The room I stayed in was comfortable and clean, however the air-conditioning wasn't very effective and the sink was blocked. We knew that there would be some noise in the rooms but I must warn you that they are incredibly loud! Earplugs are provided but on the Saturday night the club night below went on until 2am. The Sunday, however, was much quieter and very pleasant. Overall we would stay here again, although perhaps not on a Saturday night!

The property was extremely loud. We were in room #3 which was right below the ballroom. There was an event happening and WITH ear plugs in, we could hear the music. The bass actually vibrated the bed. For the money we spent, we were very disappointed. The pictures and reviews were quite good when we booked and so we were very much looking forward to our stay. We left disappointed. Some of the pros, however, were that the location was great with lots of nearby restaurants and transit systems, and the beds were comfy. The rooms were average.

Location
Excellent for transport, with Balham Underground and mainline trains close by and easy access to central London. Nearby cafes and restaurants are convenient, though a few mention occasional rail noise.

Nice spacious room. Comfortable bed. Excellent for South London transport via Clapham Junction and Victoria. Good food in the pub downstairs with a discount for residents.

Good location, decent food in the pub. 2 second walk to Balham station with direct trains to Victoria and Clapham as well as the tube. Only downside was its a bit noisy on a weekend as they have a literal nightclub and pub below but wasn’t bad enough to not sleep.

Hotel is such a cool location, close to the station and transport links. We stayed from Sunday- Wed so the pub closed earlier although we heard music in the day time. If you are looking for a hotel room you can spend a lot of time in this might not be for you as I can imagine you can hear music downstairs at the weekend. The room was a bit dusty in places and a bit worn but clean enough and serviced every day. I had the feeling the hotel side was a side note to the pub. I say all of this but we wanted to explore London and this hotel was absolutely perfect for it- the room decor and the pub itself felt like such a unique space and the staff were all really friendly. We would absolutely stay again as it was reasonably priced and again an amazing location and so close to a tube station and busy neighbourhood.

Decent accommodation albeit a little noisy on account of the proximity of the railway station. Bathroom a little confined but altogether good value when compared with central London hotels.

A nice night watching the fantastic music downstairs and enjoying a friendly London pub. The Bedroom was roomy and well provided. Bed was very comfy and no street or Rail noise which was a big plus. Lots of places around it to eat or drink at, if the Bedford's menu doesn't appeal . Good price too

Staff were welcoming, helpful and efficient. Room is small but clean, comfortable and charming. Mine overlooked the railway tracks but was surprisingly not noisy enough to keep me awake. Live music also not too noisy on the top floor. Elevator goes to 1st floor only, then there is noone to help you haul your suitcase the rest of the way. Very quick walk to trains. Lots of coffee shops and casual dining nearby. If you want to be in Balham, then this is a decent option.

Only a few minutes from Balham underground, extremely convenient, easy check in, drop off keys quick check out, brilliant value, lovely rooms and a very cosy pub with fire. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

Great value for money - rooms are large boutique designer style close to the over ground but well insulated and not an issue for sleeping - large bar area that has a lift directly to the bedrooms - restaurant very good - nonbrrakfast but recommend Milk a local restaurant for breakfast which is a few hundred yards away - bags of atmosphere and the staff ( especially Hannah) were excellent and so helpful with bags etc… will definitely be back

On-site pub food is well liked, and residents often receive discounts. There is no on-site breakfast, but guests find good options nearby.

We were able to leave our bags at the hotel before check in which was great and when went back about 9pm the lady who checked us in was really helpful and friendly. When we got to the room it was much smaller than I expected but fine for me and my daughter. It was quite battered (chips on the paint, marks on the tiles and flooring etc) but overall it was ok. The bed was pretty comfortable. The worst thing however was the noise! I know it’s over a pub but other reviews said it was sound proofed. We were on the floor above the pub and lying in bed felt like I may as well have been in the pub. I could hear every word to the songs playing and the bass was practically shaking the bed! They provided ear plugs so they obviously know it’s noisy but they didn’t help much. Luckily my daughter was shattered and fell asleep but I could not sleep until after 12. It was quite annoying after a long day in London. The location was great, close to the tube and train stations and Balham was lovely for a wander. We went to Gail’s for breakfast which was incredible.

This is a pub/hotel. It is a pub with a small number of boutique rooms. If you want a templated hotel with all rooms identical then stay at a Premier Inn, Travelodge or Holiday Inn Express. It has character. We had a fantastic bathroom, very comfortable bed and great food in the pub. A twenty minute underground trip into the West End made an ideal location.

Amazing property, really nice manager and all the bar staff were so helpful- I asked for a special request to have the towels folded and she really outdid herself! The room was absolutely gorgeous and we loved every minute, the bar food downstairs was also fantastic. Nothing but positivity and really made our 3rd anniversary worth it <33

Nothing unexpected. Just know it’s a Pub below and there is street noise. I brought a fan. Bedding comfortable. They do room cleaning daily. Very clean. We had an issue with sink not draining and they fixed it right away after we hung the “please service this room” tag. There is a very small fridge. Refillable water bottles. Small pod Nespresso. A tea kettle and variety of tea bags and milk and sugar packs. There is nice shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion. They do not have wash cloths “face cloths” and do not know what they are. There is a Sainsbury’s grocery store very close you can get anything you need. The food in the pub is excellent and you get a discount with room key. Close to train for Underground and International rail service. Overall very nice and I would definitely stay again!!
