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!

No refrigerator, elevators barely work, no real air conditioning (no thermostat, just a set of knobs for a room fan). For a hotel this expensive, a mini-fridge is a no-brainer. If you stay for more than a couple days, you can't bring snacks or drinks back to the room - it will rot or get hot. One elevator was out of order the entire time we stayed, for over a week. I don't think they had any plans to fix it. During my stay, I kept encountering people with suitcases waiting for an elevator, heading to their plane or train. Once an elevator arrived, it was packed with people with suitcases. We started just hitting the Up button so we'd get on -an- elevator and have a chance of going out. We adjusted by leaving 20 minutes early for our flight. The beds only had thick blankets on them, not normal sheets. It was the summer, so you either had no covers or you'd sweat. The lack of the thermostat was an issue as just leaving the room fan on would make it frigid in the middle of the night. The location was great. We were steps from the London Underground Piccadilly station, and you could literally see the hotel marquee once you stepped up to the street. We were walking distance from a great many landmarks - Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square, St. James Park, Buckingham Palace, etc. This had its downsides - the street was a mob after 10am and restaurants were super busy. There was a massive gym and pool, staff was great, housekeeping every day, but I'd rather have a fridge.

The bathroom floor was so slippery, soap was left on from the maids and we had a bad fall. In addition, only one elevator worked and it took so long to get up and down from our room. For a 5 star hotel there were no room amenities that satisfied this status. Our window opened into a wall. Overall not impressed

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.

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.
