It's in a great area and has some cool things, like a sauna and a pool, and a towel heater in the bathroom. But the carpet in our room was really old, as was the office chair. I would say it's a comfortable stay, not a luxurious stay, and they are trying their best.

The room was spacious, but a little dated and in need of some repair. For much of our stay there was often only one elevator which wasn’t great for the size of the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a great location.

How is this a 5 star hotel ?!?!?

Had to change two rooms because they were so terrible. The first room had no windows. The second room had a leak in the shower and not even a shower curtain, so the bathroom was filled with water after every shower. For the third room they charge us 70£ extra per night. Who ever gave this hotel 5 stars should quickly get a different job.

Great location and staff—AC was an issue at first We stayed at the Dilly in mid-June and paid about $437/night, including taxes and breakfast. The location is unbeatable—just a couple minutes from the Piccadilly Circus tube station and basically across the street from Fortnum & Mason. Perfect base for exploring central London. The room was decent size for London (248 sq ft), but we had an issue with the AC. I had confirmed ahead of time that the room had central air (no individual control), but when we arrived, it wasn’t working and the windows don’t open. The room was hot and stuffy. To their credit, the duty manager sent up a good fan right away, and halfway through our stay the AC kicked on. It wasn’t cold, but it made the room comfortable enough. The bathroom was basic but fine—good hot water and heated towel rails, which helped a lot. The hotel itself is older (they mentioned a renovation coming in the fall), but it still looked presentable. The pool and sauna were nice. The bar felt a little uninspiring, but the breakfast was excellent—plenty of quality choices and attentive service. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout. It’s definitely a pricey stay, but the convenience of the location and solid service helped make up for some of the shortcomings. Would stay again if the AC situation improves post-renovation.

The Dilly is in a great location. We stayed in the family room and had plenty of space. However for a 5 star hotel, it is very run down and in need of a renovation.

Old hotel with chipped paint, worn chairs in the room. WiFi signal was weak and often had to rely on cell data for service. steaming tv rarely worked. The TV would turn on in the middle of night and wake us up. Engineer came up twice and could do nothing. He said it was happening to several guests of the hotel. Great location for walking but terrible for cabs/uber due to congestion. Overpriced rooms for the condition our room was in. 1 of 2 elevators broke down for 2 days, and resulted in long waits. The gym/pool is nice. Room service was mediocre at best. I would not stay here again. Manager was not helpful when I complained.

I had to cut short my stay at this hotel due to a sudden family bereavement. Most hotels would not have cared and would take full payment but I was delighted and really appreciated that the hotel only took payment for nights i stayed. The location is perfect, pool and facilities top class. Staff very friendly. Because of the heartfelt nature the staff showed to me I don’t think I will ever stay anywhere else when in London.

I paid over £600pn for a suite on room only basis so I could stay with two kids. I was expecting something lovely but we got less than basic. The whole room was tired. Windows don’t open. No curtain in the living room. Bottle of water warm as just on the side. No milk for for coffees. Fridge empty. Walls we're grubby. Bathroom looks like it belongs in an old peoples home. Furniture is poor quality and the bed was an uncomfortable double. There was rubbish in the hallways. Plugs and light switches didn’t work in the room. Extra bed requested not made up. Shower leaks out all over the floor. Restaurant floors held together with tape. Breakfast counters were so gross, covered in food and juice that we walked out and went to a cafe. They made the bed but left PJs in a pile on top of the air con unit and didn’t give clean glasses. Only basic toiletries provided. The pool area was less than inviting. Very dark and run down. All in all, poor experience. Literally only positive is central location. Definitely doesn’t fit usual 5* expectations.
