Great staff, excellent location and room very good. I had a very early start to get home so didn't enjoy a sleep in bed, but it would've been more than perfect for a lazy morning. Had a pint with some Cardiff City locals before closing time in the pub downstairs who were great company (plus 2 Gooners!). In the meantime, up the Chelsea :-)
Decent bed.

Appallingly rude person on reception. Made us feel very unwelcome from the moment we walked in. So much so that we abandoned staying here and booked into another hotel nearby.
