Great location poor hotel

Arrived late and although we were upgraded to junior suite, at my request, the room was noisy and dark with very little natural daylight. I requested another room the next morning, which was better and more comfortable still was shabby and ill thought out. The hotel is in need of a major upgrade, its old and looks it. Excellent location and food was good, however the the price not value for money

On several occasions I have been given rooms with the shower over the bath. Not the best of facilities, this is the 2nd time I have not been able to shower due to no hot water. I had to move room, very inconvenient. I am booked to stay 18th September, I am considering another hotel. I had 4 nights, not happy with the room or facilities.

I stayed at The Dilly in March and was so pleased that I rebooked for August. But this time I felt I was staying at a different hotel. Maybe my first stay made me a harsh critic, but I was expecting excellent and got average - especially for the price. The room I booked in March was a Superior 2-Double - it was clean, spacious w/ updates like USB charging ports by the bed, a new temp control thermostat, fresh paint/decor. This time, our initial room was a Superior 2-Twin. Other than the size of the beds, I was expecting the same tier quality. Yet it was tiny & not updated (walls peeling, no charger outlets, a dial thermo). After seeing the room, I requested to move to - and pay for - an upgraded room akin to the Superior I had last time. One wasn't available for our stay, but they offered to move us to a Superior King (& waive the fee for a 2nd bed). I appreciated their accommodation; the staff was very helpful and attempted to make us more comfortable. But even the new, more expensive room didn't live up to the room from March. It wasn't refurbished either: no charging ports, AC didn't cool, bathroom towel warmer heated the entire room, no bathroom vent, fire doors banging outside our room all night. It just felt like the small touches were missing this time and wasn't as comfortable. Again, the staff was great, but the room was disappointing. I like the hotel itself (location can't be beat) but if I stay again, I will be sure to request a refurbished room.

5 star location but that’s it.

Food options very limited. Indian restaurant or pizza in your room isn’t a good variety. Five star staff and location but amenities are no way near five star. It’s my second time staying there. After my first time there I asked for a quieter room as having a room opposite the lift was very noisy. This trip I was put opposite the staff laundry room and was very noisy. The hotel is old and yes modernized a bit but the walls are like paper. You can hear next room guests showering!

Needs a study of the layout

Good location but one lift was out of order for all my stay and it took a long time for lifts to appear, wherever you went. The bath and shower is ok but needs a refresh particularly regards the shower head and flexibility but this should distract you. It has a very odd layout and you can be directed a long way to your room when shorter routes, you later realise, are available. The breakfast/lunch restaurant, whilst built for a view, takes some finding first time.

Disappointing that no late check-out was provided. Your website says to reach out to the hotel to request it and when I did they said it was 50 pounds an hour. That should be displayed in your website. Very disappointing.

The hotel is nothing like advertised. There is no air conditioning, the hotel brought a fan to my room. The hotel also ruined my laundry, and lost many items. To their credit, they did give me a generous refund. The cleaning was terrible, after 3 days of leaving a dirty glass on the night stand, I had to hand it to the hotel maid. The fitness center is first rate, I will give them that. However, I will never stay here again. I come to the West End 2 times a year, but I will not be staying at the Dilly.

Our only complaint was that the television kept coming on automatically in the middle of the night. We kept trying to turn it off but it would only stay off for awhile then come back on with a bright screen. It was very disruptive to our sleep!!!

The service was consistently excellent! My room was cleaned and restocked daily without fail. The standout moment, though, was at checkout: one of the staff members, Ali actually walked with me to the station and helped carry my large suitcase all the way to the ticket kiosk. That kind of thoughtful gesture really stuck with me. Highly recommend!
