“What stands out about this luxury hotel is its dedication to families, from the children's menus to the thoughtful touches in the rooms, like coloring books and teddy bears. The location places you steps away from Piccadilly Circus and Regent Street, yet the rooms remain quiet and serene. I was particularly impressed by the health club, which includes a dance studio alongside the more typical gym and pool.”

I had a wonderful stay at The Dilly, enjoying the fantastic service from the staff and the hotel's prime location close to major attractions. The spacious rooms were comfortable, though I wish there was a bit more variety in the dining options. Overall, it was a good experience, but a few minor issues kept it from being perfect.

My stay at The Dilly left me feeling a bit underwhelmed. On the plus side, the location is absolutely unbeatable, right next to all the key attractions. However, I faced several challenges, like the late check-in process and a room that just wouldn't warm up. With the price tag on this place, I expected more consistent service and amenities overall.

The location near Piccadilly Circus was a highlight of my stay, making it easy to explore key attractions. However, the service fell short of expectations, with a clear lack of attentiveness from the staff. While my room was spacious and had its perks, the overall condition left much to be desired, which was disappointing considering the premium price point.

Rooms

I was upgraded to a suite, but it had issues; the decor felt outdated and the bathroom was quite small and inconvenient for a family. The carpet was old, with a musty, damp smell lingering. not what I'd expect at this price.
Service
5.0
Unfortunately, the service was a letdown. From check-in, I felt as if my presence was more of a nuisance than a welcoming experience. Requests for extra towels and other essentials were ignored despite multiple reminders. It seemed like the focus was more on the staff's convenience than on guest satisfaction.
Location
10.0
I can't fault the location; being so close to attractions, restaurants, and theaters was a definite win. It made it easy to spend more time enjoying London rather than commuting.

Breakfast offered some good options, and the hard-working staff at the breakfast station tried their best. yet the wait times for eggs were frustrating, and variety felt lacking compared to what I'd hoped for.

While the hotel boasted nice amenities like a pool and bar, my overall impression was that the facilities needed some serious upgrading to match what a luxury stay should feel like.

The Dilly boasts an excellent location near key attractions, making exploring London easy and enjoyable. However, my experience was marred by inconsistent service and tired room conditions. While I appreciated the Malen and Goetz bath amenities, the overall upkeep of the hotel felt subpar compared to expectations for a five-star hotel.

Rooms
