“The Dilly makes a superb base for first-time London visitors, especially given its Piccadilly location and immediate access to the Tube. I'm impressed by its balance of historic charm and contemporary updates, from the French windows in the Executive Rooms to curated tea selections. Proximity to landmarks, including Buckingham Palace, and a wealth of dining options further sweetens the deal.”

poor serviceincomplete cleaning
The hotel room felt very cold. I asked for a heater, but staff only left it in the middle of the room without plugging it in. I had to ask again at reception for someone to connect it. This took more time. One day, housekeeping did not clean my room. The next day, they partially cleaned, but trash remained until I asked twice at reception for its removal.

The room was not quite what i expected. it was advertised as having a city view, i saw mostly a brick wall. A slight disappointment there. also, the minibar prices were OUTRAGEOUS!!! i nearly fainted when i saw the cost of a small bottle of water. these things definitely detracted from the overall experience.
