Really nice old building and the staff are very friendly, but not suitable for a family as the bar area is incredibly loud until past 2 AM. Rooms have been done to a nice standard but some fixtures and fittings are tired/broken.
Bedroom was very boutique, however one bedside lamp taped up, bathroom sink took ages to empty, shower leaked on the floor , just some simple housekeeping to sort. Bed very comfortable and Fridays and Saturdays can be noisy. However great stay and would go back.

Bed rattling but nice.
The room was very nice. There was nobody around if you needed anything though. One night there was an event which was great but when I went back to my room around midnight, the bass rattled my bed till 2 am. But besides that I had a very nice stay.
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.
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 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.
