The Burlington residence is an upmarket hostel in a good location in Balham, close to the train & tube station. Also close to Tooting Bec with some amazing places to eat. The room is spacious, bunk beds reasonably comfortable & a large window letting in a lot of light - although a blind would have been a very welcome addition. The shared toilets & showers - one block for men, one for women were pretty clean & certainly posher than anyone’s idea of hostel toilets. There are several shared spaces around the building including a sitting area and an eating space with use of a shared fridge, kettle & microwave. We were only 2 plus a dog but it would be great value for a family or group of friends.
