Editorial Standards
Our commitment to accuracy, transparency, and quality in all hotel recommendations and match-day information.
At Stamford Bridge Stays, we are committed to providing accurate, helpful, and trustworthy information for Chelsea FC fans planning match-day visits. This page outlines our editorial principles and processes.
Our Core Principles
1. Accuracy
All hotel information is verified against official booking platforms. Stadium information is cross-referenced with official Chelsea FC sources. Transport information is verified with TfL (Transport for London).
2. Independence
While we earn affiliate commissions from hotel bookings, our recommendations are based solely on quality, location, and value. Commission rates do not influence our rankings or recommendations.
3. Transparency
We clearly disclose our affiliate relationships. All prices shown are indicative and sourced from booking platforms. We include last-updated dates on all time-sensitive information.
4. Expertise
Our content is written and reviewed by experienced Chelsea fans who have attended numerous matches at Stamford Bridge. Contributors have first-hand experience with the hotels, pubs, and transport options we recommend.
Hotel Selection Criteria
Hotels are included on our site based on the following criteria:
- Location: Must be within 1 mile of Stamford Bridge
- Quality: Minimum 3.5★ rating on booking platforms
- Reviews: Verified guest reviews analyzed for match-day relevance
- Accessibility: Match-day accessibility confirmed
Hotels are ranked by distance to stadium by default, not by commission rate.
